🏀 Magic vs. 76ers Player Props: NBA Play-In Picks & Best Bets (April 15)
📡 SBR Edge: Postseason Paolo Pulls Up in Philly
My Magic vs. 76ers player props feature Paolo Banchero Over 23.5 points (-105) on Wednesday. He was extra aggressive in the postseason last year and has attempted 18 field goals in both meetings against the 76ers this season. I wrap up my NBA best bets with Kelly Oubre Jr. Under 13.5 points (-106), as he has struggled to score since Paul George returned from a league suspension.

💰 Best Magic vs. 76ers prop bet
Our NBA playoff series odds break down all confirmed first-round matchups.
Paolo Banchero Over 23.5 points (-105)
Banchero has not been timid against Philadelphia. He attempted 18 field goals in each of his two meetings with the 76ers in the regular season and scored 32 points on 10-of-18 shooting the last time he played in Philadelphia.
I also wouldn't be against a ladder bet on Banchero, as he scored 29+ in four of his five postseason games last year - and that was against Boston. His Over 23.5 points is -105 at BetMGM, but this bet is good up to -120 on the best sports betting sites. I also feature this bet in my Magic vs. 76ers prediction.

The 76ers have the 12th-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Kelly Oubre Jr. Under 13.5 points (-106)
Oubre has not been the same player since George came back. Oubre has scored 12 or fewer points in six of his nine games since then and has put up 11 or fewer in three of his last five.
He has attempted eight or fewer shots three times in that span, so even with Joel Embiid out, I wouldn't expect Oubre to play a large role. Look for Tyrese Maxey and George to get a majority of the touches. Oubre's Under is -106 at FanDuel, but I would play this up to -115 on the best sports betting apps.
🚀 Magic vs. 76ers same-game parlay
Bet365 is pricing 76ers -2 with Oubre Under 13.5 points as if Oubre scoring 12 or fewer points makes the 76ers' spread way less likely to hit - I don't agree. Bet365 is offering +330, while FanDuel is offering just +272. This combination has cashed in three of Oubre's last nine games.

💡 How I'm betting Magic vs. 76ers: NBA Play-In Tournament strategy
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
I'm risking 1.05 units to win 1 unit on Banchero Over 23.5 points. This is what I would usually risk on a player prop, as while I like the bet directionally, it's not priced too far from where I'd set it.
I'm only risking 0.53 units on Oubre Under 13.5 points because it's also a leg in my SGP, so I don't want to be overexposed in case Oubre plays a larger-than-expected role.
