- Analysis
- It was a very close game in Game 1 of this series with Josh Hart taking over in the 4th. This time around, I expect it to be the Joel Embiid show. New York still isn't at full strength with the likes of Julius Randle still on the sideline. Some might say that they've been better without him. But, I believe that his physical presence is something that would help every team even if he doesn't have his best game. Philadelphia came into these playoffs having won nine consecutive games. Having said that, despite the Game 1 loss, they are still hot. The line has gone up a point for this game and I believe it's giving tremendous value on the Sixers. Let's not forget that these teams were separated by just three wins, regardless of seeds. Give me Philly here plus the points.
Score Prediction: 104-96 76ers
