(3%) PHILADELPHIA. I waited to play this one as I wanted to hear about Embiid's status and also I hoped that the line would climb. Now that it has done so, I'm jumping in with the 76ers. Embiid's status remains uncertain but the fact that he returned to Game 1 is a good sign. Philadelphia is still 7-3-1 ATS its last 11 first round playoff games. The 76ers hadn't lost in ages before losing by seven in Game 1. They'd desperately like to salvage a split out of these first two games and I expect them to give the Knicks all that they can handle. *good at +5 or better
