Legs 1 & 2: Joel Embiid 25+ Points, 4+ Assists

Despite giving fans a scare in the second quarter, Joel Embiid had a solid Game 1. He dropped 29 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out six assists, but as the Sixers’ role players struggled, they’ll need even more out of Embiid tonight. Regardless of the outcome, Embiid should still be good enough to rack up 25 points while dishing out at least four assists, given all the double-teams he’ll see.

Leg 3: Tyrese Maxey 2+ Threes

Given all the Knicks’ three-point options, Tyrese Maxey needs to get hot from beyond the arc again, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he takes ten shots from deep. If we get that volume level, I’m confident in expecting him to drill at least two of them.

Leg 4: Tobias Harris 6+ Rebounds

The Sixers struggled mightily on the glass against the Knicks, costing them the game. They’ll need to shorten the gap to tie this series. Tobias Harris has given the Sixers essentially nothing offensively, but he’s big and can battle on the glass, as he had nine rebounds in Game 1. They’ll need even more from him in the paint tonight, but to play it safe, he should be able to grab at least six rebounds without much of an issue.

Legs 5 & 6: Kyle Lowry 1+ Three, 2+ Assists

Kyle Lowry played 39 minutes in Game 1 and was a key reason why the Sixers were able to get back into the game in the third quarter. Nick Nurse likely will give some of his minutes to a different option to add length to the frontcourt, but Lowry still should see around 30 minutes tonight. If he plays 30 minutes, he will drill at least a single three and dish out two assists.

Leg 7: Jalen Brunson 6+ Assists

Jalen Brunson struggled to dominate the game as a scorer, thanks to a solid defensive scheme put out by Nurse. Given how well the Knicks’ offense was flowing without his output, I expect the Knicks to stay the same tonight. Brunson will look to get the perimeter plays going from deep because if they can shoot 46% from three again, the Sixers don’t have a shot to win.

Leg 8: Mitchell Robinson 6+ Rebounds

The Sixers struggled mightily on the glass, and we saw Mitchell Robinson rack up 12 rebounds in 30 minutes. He should play more than enough tonight to grab six boards.

Leg 9: Josh Hart 1+ Three

Josh Hart’s production from three won the Knicks the game in the fourth quarter, and while I don’t expect him to drill four threes once again tonight, I expect him to have the green light, resulting in at least a single three.
