Paolo Banchero o22.5 Points Scored (-120)
Banchero took the blame for the flop in the finale, despite finishing with a triple-double in the loss. The versatile 6-foot-10 forward has a great opportunity to exploit Embiid’s absence against a smaller 76ers lineup. Banchero’s two meetings with Philadelphia tell the story: With Embiid in, he finished with 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting and scored only two FTMs. Without him, Banchero hung 32 points (10 for 18) with 11 of those coming from the stripe. Player projections for Wednesday sit between 23.3 and 25 points from Banchero. I’m leaning toward the high end of those forecasts, as Philadelphia doesn’t have anyone who can handle his combo of speed and size.

Stephen Curry o4.5 3-Pointers Made (+125)
Worry not that he has been back for only four games since his knee injury. Curry hit 5-of-10 triples in his first game back, part of shooting 15-of-36 (41.7%) from beyond the arc in those four games. And the Los Angeles Clippers are only middling defending against 3-pointers, ranking No. 16 in both opponent 3-pointer frequency and percentage made since James Harden left the rotation.
