🏀 76ers vs. Knicks Player Props Today: NBA Playoffs Best Bets & Picks for Game 2
📡 SBR Edge: Anunoby Scores 18+ With Embiid Out
My 76ers vs. Knicks player props for Game 2 today feature Quentin Grimes Under 6.5 points (-125). He has gone under this number in three straight games. My second NBA best bet is OG Anunoby Over 17.5 points (-105), as he has gone over this line in four of his last five games, and now he won't have to worry about Joel Embiid in the paint.

Quentin Grimes Under 6.5 points (-125)
I bet Grimes Under 6.5 points in Game 1, and it was pretty much a sweat-free bet.
He's scored five or fewer points in three straight games and has attempted just four shots in each of his last two. It doesn't look like Grimes will play any significant role in Nick Nurse's offensive plan going forward, especially with Paul George and VJ Edgecombe each attempting 10 or more field goals in three consecutive games.
BetMGM has his Under 6.5 points at -125, but this bet is good up to -145 on the best sports betting sites.

π₯ More 76ers vs. Knicks prop picks
The Knicks have the third-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
OG Anunoby Over 17.5 points (-105)
When a player's ruled out - like Embiid today - Iβd usually look to the next man up, but this number doesnβt account for how much easier it should be for Anunoby to score.
Heβs posted 18+ points in four of his last five games and should have a clearer path to the rim without Embiid. His recent shot chart shows a heavy mix of 3-pointers and finishes at the basket, the latter of which should come more easily today.
His Over 17.5 is -105 at BetMGM, but I'd play this up to -125 on the best sports betting apps.
π 76ers vs. Knicks same-game parlay
The main concern with playing Anunoby's Over on points is that he may play fewer minutes at the end of a blowout victory. If the 76ers keep this game close, then Anunoby will have more opportunities to score late in the fourth quarter. Bet365 offers this parlay at +310, while FanDuel lists it at +243.

π‘ How I'm betting 76ers vs. Knicks: NBA Playoffs Game 2 strategy
Game 2s are a different animal than Game 1s, as we now have a recent head-to-head playoff matchup to analyze. I used to be very contrarian when I first began sports betting over a decade ago, but riding trends in the playoffs has been more profitable in my experience (as long as the line doesn't get too inflated). A lot of these player prop lines are still anchored to projections from the regular season, so we have to react quickly to new game plans in the playoffs to find value among the (somewhat) stale lines.
