Matt Moore: Dallas is 7-1 straight up and 6-2 ATS against the Grizzlies since the Bubble with Luka Doncic. I like this over at 224.5 but wouldn’t play it past 226. Expect Embiid to force the Celtics into the rotations and the 76ers to score here. The Celtics’ defensive numbers have looked fine without Porzingis but they haven’t faced a force like Embiid yet. Embiid specifically rested last game for this one so expect him to come out with a lot of energy and aggression here. On the flip side, Philly ranks second in adjusted offensive rating and should have an edge around the rim as Kristaps Porzingis will be out for this one.Īl Horford has played Joel Embiid well throughout his career, but I expect Embiid to still get his. Boston ranks first in 3-point attempt rate, so once these shots start falling it could spell danger for the 76ers’ defense. The Celtics have absolutely lit teams up and they aren’t even shooting the three ball well yet (16th). Each team has also played a top-10 most difficult schedule of opposing defenses so clearly these offenses aren’t fraudulent. Celtics Odds 76ers OddsĬhris Baker: Both of these teams rank top-5 in adjusted offensive rating while also ranking top-10 in half-court offensive rating. Pick: Dennis Schroder Over 1.5 3-Pointers (-120) 76ers vs. Schroder’s hitting 36.5 percent from deep and has gotten at least five attempts up in four of his last five. Schroder has gotten this over in two of his last three, four of his last six and five of his last eight, which followed a cold streak of him not doing it in six straight games - but this is why the prop is at 1.5. They get the Knicks on the second of a back-to-back, and are at home, and will be incentivized to speed up Tom Thibodeau and dem boyz - the Raps are 18th in pace, not as flat-footed as their big city rivals. He’s coming off a 3-for-11 shooting display where he took just two threes, making one, in the Raptors’ Wednesday night win over the Phoenix Suns. FIBA World Cup MVP Dennis Schroder is nothing if not fearless. The Knicks, despite playing at a bottom-two pace, give up the eighth-most 3-point attempts per 100 possessions in the NBA at 36.6.
