The Philadelphia 76ers are getting ready to fight off elimination in NBA playoffs Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, going up against the Knicks.

Will Jalen Brunson Play Against the Philadelphia 76ers Tonight?
Leading the Knicks with a thriving 47 points and 10 assists on an 18 out of 34 shooting on Sunday, Jalen Brunson's availability for the game against the Philadelphia 76ers is questionable, due to an injury to his left knee.
In contrast, the New York Knicks are in high spirits after taking a significant 3-1 lead in the series thanks to their tenacious victory on Sunday.
Contributing to the score, OG Anunoby secured 16 points with 14 rebounds and three blocks, while Miles McBride added 13 points off the bench. That said, no other player managed to score more than eight points.
As a collective, the Knicks saw a shooting percentage of 43 from the field and seven of 27 from the 3-point line. Despite a sluggish start, the Knicks swiftly got back on track, playing incredible defense and enabling Hart to clinch the game.
Unfortunately, Josh Hart didn't perform his best, shooting zero of seven from the field. Equally, Precious Achiuwa accumulated a mere point from zero of five shots.
Moreover, the Knicks had to adapt without the valuable backup of Mitchell Robinson, who suffered a knee injury. Adding to the impact, Bojan Bogdanovic sustained an ankle injury early in game four. Nevertheless, the Knicks persisted and managed a crucial win with the aid of contributions across the team.
All the Knicks need to secure their place in the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs is a home win on Tuesday. However, given the ankle injuries to Robinson and Bogdanovic, both crucial backups, it's likely they'll have to make do without their full lineup.
