Quentin Grimes Under 6.5 points (-102)

Grimes has attempted six or fewer shots in back-to-back games, scoring three or fewer points each time. That can only lead me to believe that Nick Nurse doesn't see him as a key option on offense moving forward.

He's hit this prop in four of his last six games and ranks 6th on Philadelphia in playoff scoring at 7.1 PPG - and that average is skewed by an outlier 18-point effort in Game 5. DraftKings has his Under 6.5 points at -102, but this bet is good up to -120 on the best sports betting sites.

🔥 More 76ers vs. Knicks prop picks

The Knicks have the third-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.

OG Anunoby Over 16.5 points (-123)

I've had success in past seasons betting players to stay hot from one series to another.

Until we start seeing proof that Anunoby will play a smaller role against the 76ers, we can only assume that he will maintain the same level of production from the first round. He has scored 17 or more points in four consecutive games and has attempted 14 or more shots three times in that span.

Anunoby Over 16.5 points is -123 at DraftKings, but I'd be comfortable playing this up to -135 on the best sports betting apps.

🚀 76ers vs. Knicks same-game parlay

While Anunoby Over points is negatively correlated with the 76ers' spread, if Philadelphia can keep this game close, it will give Anunoby more opportunities to score late in the game. Bet365 lists this SGP at +320, while FanDuel offers the same two-legger at just +279.

💡 How I'm betting 76ers vs. Knicks: NBA Playoffs Game 1 strategy

While we're not 100 percent sure how this series will play out - we know there is past bad blood between Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns - it’s likely that both coaching staffs will use similar lineups to what we saw at the end of the first round. I'm looking for trends to carry over from the end of the last round instead of trying to predict exactly how this matchup will play out (since their regular-season meetings could be more noise than signal).
