Joel Embiid Over 24.5 points (-125) βββββ
While Embiid scored just 22 points against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, he has cashed this prop in three of his last four games.
After starting the season averaging just 17.3 points across four October games, Embiid has been trending upward as a scorer. He averaged 25.9 points in seven December games, and while he shot just 42.3% from the field last month, his 19.6 field-goal attempts per game are a good sign going forward.
Shane Thurston also features Embiid in his NBA player props.

Jalen Brunson Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+142) ββββ
Brunson has made four or more 3-pointers in five of his last six games.
While the Knicks guard went just 1 of 8 from beyond the arc in his last game - Friday against the Atlanta Hawks - the fact that he still attempted eight 3-pointers despite going cold is promising. Even if Brunson starts cold from deep, heβs likely to keep shooting, which increases the chances of this bet cashing. He has attempted 10 or more 3-pointers in five of his last six games.
Tyrese Maxey Over 28.5 points (-102) βββ
Maxey has scored 34 points in back-to-back games.
He has cashed this prop in seven of his last 12 games, hitting at a 58.3% clip during that span. Meanwhile, these -102 odds from FanDuel carry an implied probability of just 50.5%. The last time Maxey faced the Knicks - Dec. 19 at Madison Square Garden - he scored 30 points and made 6 of 12 three-pointers. Expect more of the same today in New York.
