The 76ers and Knicks have suffered major injuries to star players, which has forced the Atlantic Division teams to adjust during this run toward the playoffs.
The rivals meet at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening as the Knicks look to build off a strong effort Friday night.
Jalen Brunson returned to the lineup for the Knicks after missing two games with a knee contusion, scoring 26 points in a 98-74 victory over Orlando.
The win was also a little sweeter for the Knicks, who had lost the first three matchups with the surprising Magic this season.
The 76ers are without their top two players. Center Joel Embiid is sidelined with a knee injury, and guard Tyrese Maxey has missed the past three games with a concussion.
Philadelphia hopes to get Maxey back Sunday as it tries to snap a three-game slide, which includes back-to-back home losses to the Grizzlies and Pelicans.
The 76ers not only have seeding to play for in this game but also revenge. Philadelphia is 0-2 against the Knicks this season, losing at home by 36 and 14 points.

Since posting a nine-game winning streak to close out January, the Knicks are 0-5 in the past five games off a victory.
If the 76ers get Maxey back, it will be an incredible boost for this offense, which has failed to top the 110-point mark in three straight games.
Let’s take the points with Philadelphia in this double-revenge spot against New York.
