NBA Wed 5/6
- Thread starter Junior44
- Start date
Philadelphia +7 (3x)
-While I didn't expect a 39-point win in Game 1, I was very confident in New York's ability to get past Philadelphia on Monday. New York enjoyed a significant rest and travel spot in Monday's series opener and the Knicks handled business like a favored team should. But much like the Sixers' series against Boston, I believe Philadelphia can keep this interesting. Head coach Nick Nurse gave his starters a shot to mount a hail mary comeback at the beginning of the third quarter, but when it became evident that wasn't going to be in the cards, Nurse emptied the bench. No one played more than 28 minutes as Nurse tried to get his team closer to an even playing field in the rest department for the rest of the series. With some slightly-fresher legs on Wednesday, I expect the Sixers to keep Game 2 much closer than the series opener and an outright win wouldnt surprise me..

Yes that was my point. They also thought Kevin Durant was worth 9.5 points. Embiid is worth 0 points.

Minnesota/San Antonio Over 215' (3x)
-Anthony Edwards made a surprise return to the Timberwolves' lineup, and Minnesota responded accordingly with a Game 1 upset in San Antonio. Edwards played 25 minutes off the bench, scoring 18 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field. Game 1 was played at a brisk pace as the Spurs and T-Wolves combined to score 37 fast-break points. How often are Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper going to combine to shoot 1-for-16 from the three-point line? Edwards looked good in his return from injury, but presumably he'll have a larger role on Wednesday after shaking some rust off. The three regular season meetings between these teams saw an average of 231.0 points per game, and there's room for more points to be scored in Wednesday's Game 2

Just my fckn luck with poosting overnight/early.....just got in and Embiid is out........gonna take a miracle now
Philly hanging in there,,,,,,up by 1 at the half...........LFGO.....sure wish i had those 3.5 extra points
I mean the Knicks largest lead was 6 if the Sixers didn't cover there would have been insane. Should have won outright.
when i said luck cover, i meant the Sixers misses a few FT's at the end, and then didnt foul down by 6 to cover my hidious +7 line..........i agree though, they should have won outright
