Sixers-Knicks Preview and Predictions (12/19)

The biggest storyline for our 76ers vs Knicks predictions is Joel Embiid’s absence. The 76ers’ MVP-caliber center was downgraded to OUT earlier today, leaving Philadelphia without their best player, rim protector, and offensive anchor.

The Knicks are already the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference at 19-7, and now they face a depleted 76ers squad missing Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr. (OUT – knee), and Trendon Watford (OUT – adductor).

The stud trio of Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Embiid has played less than 50 minutes of shared time on the court together this season.

Before we dive in any deeper, here are some top NBA player props for 76ers vs. Knicks on Underdog:

NBA Expert Picks: Sixers vs Knicks Best Player Prop Bets

Let’s dive into the good stuff. Here are our NBA best bets–all things player prop bets–for the Knicks vs 76ers game on Friday!

Prop Bet: Tyrese Maxey Higher Than 30.5 Points

Without Embiid, Maxey will have to continue playing at a superstar level to keep the 76ers competitive. Maxey averages a tick over 29 points per 36 without Emiibd on the floor, but he might push 40 minutes if the game is close after being off nearly a week.

Prop Bet: Paul George Higher Than 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

George averages more than 35 PRA without Embiid on the floor, per 36 minutes. George’s minutes have been slowly ramping up, as he’s played at least 32 in three straight games. This price seems like books aren’t taking that into consideration. I also like > 18.5 points for him.

Prop Bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Double-Double

No Embiid, no problem. KAT should feast tonight.

Good luck!
