76ers Game 2 computer picks
Paul George Over 17.5 points (-120)
Projection: 20.65 points
Paul George has consistently hovered around his points prop line throughout the Philadelphia 76ers’ playoff run, either clearing it or coming close on multiple occasions.
With Joel Embiid ruled out for Game 2, Philadelphia will need more scoring punch from its supporting cast, putting added pressure on George to step up. Facing the risk of going down 0-2, the Sixers will be counting on Playoff P to deliver the offensive lift they need.
Tyrese Maxey Over 2.5 3-pointers (-120)
Projection: 3.35 3-pointers
Tyrese Maxey struggled from deep in Game 1, going 0-for-3 from beyond the arc, but he’ll look to quickly rediscover his range in Game 2.
The 76ers guard has been a key spark throughout the postseason, often carrying the offensive load when Joel Embiid has been limited or unavailable.
With that responsibility likely back on his shoulders, Maxey will be counted on once again to provide scoring punch and perimeter production in Game 2.
Kelly Oubre Jr. Under 5.5 rebounds (-115)
Projection: 4.93 rebounds
Everything still circles back to Embiid, and with him ruled out for Game 2, additional rebounding opportunities are likely to open up across the board.
Kelly Oubre Jr. grabbed five rebounds on eight chances in just 27 minutes during Game 1, and while he should see enough volume to stay active on the glass again, there’s still some risk he lands just shy of this line.

Knicks Game 2 computer picks
Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 points (-105)
Projection: 28.75 points
Jalen Brunson torched the 76ers for 35 points in Game 1, and he’ll look to keep that momentum rolling back home at Madison Square Garden — a stage where he’s consistently thrived under the spotlight and delivered on this scoring line.
Having cleared the Over in six of his last 10 games, Brunson is well-positioned to replicate that performance in Game 2 as he looks to do whatever it takes to defend home court.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds (+105)
Projection: 13.06 rebounds
Karl-Anthony Towns has been a force on the glass throughout the New York Knicks playoff run, but his rebounding output in Game 1 against the Sixers was relatively quiet by his standards.
With the Knicks ranking fourth in the league at home in offensive rebounding (13.1 per game), expect Towns to elevate his presence on the boards in Game 2 with the home crowd behind him.
OG Anunoby Over 17.5 points (-110)
Projection: 18.83 points
OG Anunoby has had a steady impact for the Knicks throughout this postseason, providing efficient scoring and clearing the Over on this points prop in five of his last seven playoff games.
With the series set to shift to Philadelphia after tonight, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Anunoby deliver another strong outing before the Knicks hit the road.
