The Knicks and 76ers 2nd Round series shifts to Philadelphia tonight, with New York looking to take a 3-0 stranglehold. Online sportsbooks like their chances, pegging the Knicks as favorites in the NBA odds. I’m staying clear of the spread and total markets for this contest altogether, choosing to focus on player props instead.

Below, you’ll find my top Knicks vs 76ers player props and picks for Game 3, plus the analysis behind each selection.

Navigating the injury report in the NBA starting lineups is essential for any betting strategy. The uncertainty surrounding Joel Embiid’s ankle is my biggest variable. He sat out Game 2, and is listed as questionable for tonight. If Embiid plays but is limited, targeting the under on his scoring totals offers immense value. If he sits, I expect massive offensive usage to funnel directly to Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.

On the New York side, OG Anunoby left Game 2 early, but is expected to play tonight. The risk of re-injury has lowered his projection in the eyes of oddsmakers, leading me to find value in his points prop.

My favorite bet tonight is George over 2.5 made threes. George was a consistent perimeter threat during the regular season, averaging exactly 2.5 made threes at home. However, his playoff production has absolutely exploded. Across nine postseason games, he is sinking 3.4 triples per contest. The situational trend here is bulletproof: in three home playoff games, George boasts an absurd 63.2% success rate from deep, averaging 4.0 makes per game.

Furthermore, George has already drilled nine 3-pointers on 19 attempts in this series, equating to 4.5 makes per game. With New York’s defense consistently packing the paint and surrendering 35.2 perimeter attempts per night, George is the top value per our NBA player prop analyzer.

I’m also betting over 17.5 points for Anunoby. Playoff basketball has elevated his game to another level, with his scoring average surging to 21.4 points over eight postseason appearances. Elite efficiency is driving this run, as he is converting his field goal attempts at a staggering 64.0% clip (16-for-25) during this series. If he can continue this torrid pace moving forward, the Knicks will continue to draw attention in the NBA Championship odds.

Anunoby poured in 42 total points across the first two games, crushing the 17.5 threshold. He is hitting free throws at a perfect 100% clip and connecting on 44.4% of his three-pointers. Facing a Philadelphia defense allowing 110.1 points per game in the playoffs, I fully expect Anunoby to eat through this set defense and eclipse this number.
