Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Joel Embiid UNDER 30.5 Points
The eyes of the basketball world will be locked on Joel Embiid tonight to see if redemption is in store following a performance in Game 5 that was borderline detrimental to the Sixers until Tyrese Maxey saved him in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Since dropping 50 points in Game 3, Embiid is averaging 23 points on 36.8 percent shooting with 6.5 turnovers over his last two appearances. His 19-point effort in Game 5 was his second-lowest output of the entire season, and it came during yet another elimination game in which the 2023 Most Valuable Player struggled immensely.
Joel Embiid’s last three elimination games:
— Josh Eberley 🇨🇦 (@JoshEberley) May 1, 2024
2024 vs. New York:
19 points, 7-19 (37%), 9 TURNOVERS, W
2023 vs. Boston:
15 points, 5-18 (27%), 4 turnovers, L
2022 vs. Miami:
20 points, 7-24 (29%), L
From his aching knees to his bout with Bells Palsy to a migraine he suffered on Tuesday, Embiid's health has continuously brought into question whether or not he should even be out there. He's still capable of monster performances despite all of his ailments, but with Mitchell Robinson now back for the Knicks, and Embiid's points having dropped from 50 to 27 to 19 since April 25, it may require another masterclass from Maxey to force a Game 7.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Tyrese Maxey UNDER 3.5 Made 3-Pointers
New York fans won't soon forget some of the clutch 3-pointers Maxey drilled at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, punctuated by a dagger from the logo which forced overtime and sucked the air right out of the building.
It was the second game of the series in which Maxey connected on five or more 3-pointers, which would easily topple the OVER/UNDER of 3.5 for Game 6. He has yet to surpass that number in the City of Brotherly Love, though, as Maxey made exactly three in Games 3 and 4.
The All-Star guard hasn't registered back-to back games of four 3-pointers or more (Philadelphia is 18-6 SU when Maxey makes at least that many) since Feb. 27-March 1, and the Knicks will surely place more of an emphasis on getting up on him around the arc to prevent Maxey from lighting them up once again.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Miles McBride OVER 9.5 Points
With Bojan Bogdanovic ruled out of the postseason to undergo left foot surgery, Miles McBride's role becomes all the more important as one of two bench players head coach Tom Thibodeau trusts with some semblance of playing time alongside Robinson.
McBride has played between 20 and 33 minutes in each of the five games, maxing out at 21 points in Game 1. He's finished with double-digit points in the last two games, as well, with the Knicks having gone 15-11 SU during the regular season when the 23-year-old hit that mark.
A majority of his looks do come from 3-point range, with McBride converting a team-high 46.2 percent for the series. As much as Thibodeau would love to run Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart into the ground, there will come times when one or both ride the pine to catch their breath, if only for a moment. McBride is a steady hand offensively, and will bring that consistency for the second unit (or whatever's left of it) to hit the OVER on 9.5 points.
