As the 76ers get underway with the back end of their home-and-home with the Knicks, here's what you need to know:

• Kwame Brown started in place of Lavoy Allen. It’s Brown’s debut with the Sixers, and his first regular-season action since Jan. 10, 2012.
• Dorell Wright, and not Nick Young, started at shooting guard. Coach Doug Collins said he prefers Wright in the starting five and Young off the bench until Jason Richardson (left ankle sprain) returns. Collins didn’t give a timetable.
• Andrew Bynum is progressing, but Sixers GM Tony DiLeo said there’s no timetable for his return from a right knee bone bruise.
• Spencer Hawes thinks either Romney wins in a rout or Obama wins re-election in a close race. Hawes’ words, not mine.
