76ers vs Knicks Analysis<\/h2>\n

The failing Knicks start a seven-game road trip tonight in Philly to face the new-look 76ers, and we will be looking at this game through the prop betting markets. Numbers below are from DraftKings with the exception of the FanDuel same-game parlay.<\/p>\n

76ers vs Knicks Team Totals<\/h3>\n

The Knicks have a team total of 105.5 while the 76ers sit at 117.5, and I find the Philly total low. They put up 133 against Minnesota and 125 against the Knicks in their two games since the break with Harden, and what\u2019s startling is the free throw numbers. Philly has made 30 and 39 free throws the last two games, and if they\u2019re going to score 30 points when the clock isn\u2019t running this team total screams over.<\/p>\n

The Knicks put up 109 against Philly but got blown out in the fourth quarter again scoring only 20 points on Sunday. We have the same lineups tonight as we did on the 27th, but I can\u2019t trust the Knicks to get over their point total so I\u2019ll just stick with Philly.<\/p>\n

Recommendation: Philadelphia 76ers’ Team Total Over 117.5 Points<\/strong><\/p>\n

76ers vs Knicks Player Props<\/h3>\n

Julius Randle was amazing for us before the all-star break hitting his points + rebounds + assists over in eight-straight games, but he\u2019s fizzled in the two games since his return going under in both games. There rumblings that he was putting on a show trying to get traded before the deadline, and he didn\u2019t get traded so now his effort level has plummeted. I can see that\u2026I\u2019ll take his under 36.5 points + rebounds + assists as he\u2019s had 33 and 27 the last two games.<\/p>\n

Barrett has absorbed some of the production that Randle has left on the table as he\u2019s gone for 46 and 24 points the last two games. His point total is 22.5 tonight, I\u2019ll take the over as he got to 24 points last game while hitting zero three-pointers and only going 9-22 from the field.<\/p>\n

My favorite play tonight is Joel Embiid over 30.5 points. He\u2019s gone for 34 and 37 points with Harden on the team, and he\u2019s an incredible 34-for-40 from the free throw line in those games. He should have another big game tonight.<\/p>\n

Recommendation: Joel Embiid Over 30.5 Points<\/strong><\/p>\n
