Phila. @ NY Gm. 1

Question

Sixers were ultra focused on taking down their long time nemesis the Boston Celtics, which they did. Have a tough time seeing them bring their A game tonight, especially after the short turnaround. However, there's no value in laying the stiff number of -7 or more on the Knicks.

I do see value, though, in the NY alt. line of -2.5 -182 at Bookmaker. The line was -205. but somone must have made a max bet on Philly alt. at +169. Couldn't have been sharp money as there was no corresponding move on the moneyline. Why swould a sharp person take +2.5 +169 when they could get +230 something on the moneyline?

Knicks alt. -2.5 -182 0.8 u (risk)

Other than that, hope that Sixers get off to a quick start, and take live action NY -4.5 or better.
