Best predictions for the Knicks vs 76ers game
Paul George matchup prediction: Over 10.5 rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -108 on FanDuel | Estimated Odds: 51.92%
No need to reinvent the wheel with this metric. George is averaging 13.2 rebounds + assists at home versus just 9.5 on the road, so we'll take the over.
George has already exceeded that mark in three straight games and in 13 of the last 26 meetings. That includes seven of eight games at home.
The veteran dropped out of Tuesday's game after being labeled “probable,” so we expect him to return to the lineup today for the second half of a back-to-back series. George is averaging 10.7 rebounds + assists this season, and that line is set way too low.
Josh Hart prediction: Hart to complete a double-double ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best Odds: +100 on FanDuel | Estimated Odds: 50.00%
Hart has been simply superb over the last month, averaging 15.2 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 12 games. During that time, he has totaled 11 double-doubles, including two triple-doubles.
One of Hart's double-doubles came solely from rebounds and assists in a game when he scored just two points. He can fulfill this prediction in a number of ways, making it an even better bet.
The plus-money odds on this game are incredibly attractive considering how often he's hit this rack over the last month.
Hart is in a great position regardless of the status of Karl-Anthony Towns. But if Towns sits, it will give him a statistical boost as he fills in the gaps when the team's leading scorer and rebounder is absent.
This is our favorite game of the night.
Tyrese Maxey: Over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best Odds: -125 via Caesars | Estimated Odds: 55.56%
Maxey has exceeded that mark in four straight games and eight of his last 11. This season, he has racked up at least a 35 PRA in 16 of 31 games.
The defenseman is playing better at home than away, averaging a 35.8 PRA at the Wells Fargo Center and 34.4 elsewhere. In seven of 14 home games this season, Maxie has struck out more.
In the last seven games, New York has allowed opposing point guards to score an average of 35.4 points. This is not a terrible matchup for Maxi, and we expect him to score more and continue his hot streak.
