Paul George 20+ Points/Philadelphia to Win (+540)
Call me a hater, but despite their 5-1 record, I’m not ready to anoint the Phoenix Suns as elite. They’ve been solid, but they haven’t poured it on teams. Their most significant margin of victory was eight points. They sit as 7.5-point favorites over the Philadelphia 76ers, who have struggled out of the gate but will get Paul George onto the floor for the first time this season. It’s unclear what PG’s workload will look like, but expect the 76ers to look far more competitive than we’ve seen them. They should keep this game close and potentially win it outright, and to do that, they’ll need at least 20 points from PG. Instead of betting the 76ers at +260 on the moneyline, getting them to win alongside a 20-point effort from PG at +540 gives us way more value.
