Regiomontanus houses, set for the kickoff as listed: Tuesday 20 October 2026, 7:00 PM EDT (23:00 UTC), Madison Square Garden, New York (40.75°N, 73.99°W). Night chart. The Knicks are the favourite and also the home side, so the favourite-first and home-first conventions agree and give the Knicks the 1st house (Lord 1 = Venus) and the 76ers the 7th (Lord 7 = Mars). Lilly's dignity table with Ptolemaic terms and Chaldean faces. Fortune is taken by the night formula, reversed.

For New York Knicks
Essential dignity of Mars. The best that can be said for the Knicks is that the 76ers' significator is no giant. Mars in Leo is peregrine at −5, with no dignity of any kind. But the Knicks' own Venus is five points worse, so this reduces the case against the Knicks without making a case for them.
Sun on the angles. The Sun, Lord 5, in its fall, squares the MC and the IC within 0°44'. That afflicts the Knicks' house of success, the 10th, and equally the 76ers' house of success, the 4th. The affliction is shared, so it favours neither side.
For Philadelphia 76ers
Reception. Venus, Lord 1, sits in Scorpio, the domicile of Mars. The Knicks' significator is therefore in the 76ers' power, and Mars is not in any dignity of Venus, so the reception is one-way. The side whose significator is received decides; the one that has to lodge in another's house is at its host's mercy.
Essential dignity. Venus is in detriment and peregrine, −10. Mars is peregrine at −5. Neither is dignified, but the 76ers' significator is better by five points.
Condition of Venus: combustion, retrogradation, house. Venus is combust, with the Sun applying to it at 5°07' and the Sun in its own fall. It is also retrograde, slow, and in the 6th, a cadent house. This is the Knicks' significator at its worst: burnt, backward and out of action. Mars is direct and in the 4th, an angle, five houses' worth of better footing.
Saturn and the Knicks' success. Saturn, Lord 10, is in its fall, retrograde and peregrine (−9), in the 12th. It sits in Aries, not in the Ascendant's sign, so the 5° rule does not carry it into the 1st. The 12th-house placement is enough: the Knicks' house of success is ruled by a planet that is weak and hidden. Mars's trine to Saturn is separating, so it is a past connection and counts for little.
Moon. The Moon is not void. It separated from the opposition to Jupiter ten minutes before the chart time and next trines the Sun, nine hours after kickoff. No translation of light between the two significators is given, and the Moon, Lord 4, holds only a face. A neutral Moon, with nothing in it to rescue the Knicks.
Judgment. The chart favours the 76ers, and plainly. The Knicks' significator is burnt, retrograde and cadent, in the 76ers' domicile, with the Knicks' success lord weak in the 12th, while Mars is angular, direct and the better dignified.
