Through three games in the Eastern Conference semifinals, it’s clear that the 76ers have no answer for Jalen Brunson. New York’s superstar guard has scored 35, 26, and 33 points to lead his team to a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Brunson is no stranger to big moments, and he’s averaged 29 points across six road closeout games since joining the Knicks. He’s recorded 30+ in three of them, including a 41-point eruption in the 2024 postseason against the Sixers.

Tyrese Maxey isn’t going down without a fight, and Philadelphia’s leading scorer should show an improvement on his 17-point performance in Game 3. Maxey has eclipsed 26 points in five of 10 playoff games, and he’s reached that mark in four of seven matchups with the Knicks this season.

Joel Embiid has totaled just 32 points in Games 1 and 3 of this series, shooting a pitiful 10-of-28 from the floor. He’s not playing anywhere near 100%, and he’s failed to score 25 in three of his last four games.

Anthony Edwards came off the bench in Games 1 and 2 and totaled 30 points and six rebounds across 49 total minutes. He started Game 3 and eclipsed those totals with 32 points and 14 rebounds across 41 minutes. Ant-Man has started four games against the Spurs this season, and he hit the Over on this combo line three times while averaging 41.3 points+rebounds.

Minnesota has covered the spread in four of its last five games at home, and the team nearly covered the 5.5-point spread despite awful shooting performances from Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels. With Edwards off his minutes restriction, I expect him to do everything he can to will his team to victory with needed support from his teammates. Improved shooting from two starters means more scoring for Minnesota, and the point total is set far too low for Game 4. These teams have hit the Game Total Over in two straight and four of six head-to-head matchups this season.
