The New York Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, as we pick our favorite 76ers vs. Knicks NBA player props based on the best NBA odds.
Sunday's marquee game in the NBA sees the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks meet for the third time this season. The previous two games were played in Philadelphia and the Knicks won both contests by double digits.
After scoring 27 and 35 points in his first two games against the Knicks, Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey will be out for Sunday's contest. Will another 76ers player be able to pick up the slack? And what will the Sixers do to slow down Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, who is averaging 25 points per game against them this season?
To accompany our NBA player props and best bets for Sunday, here are our best 76ers vs. Knicks NBA player props and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
76ers vs. Knicks NBA player props: Sunday
- Buddy Hield Over 14.5 points (+100 via bet365) ????
- Kyle Lowry Over 1.5 made three-pointers (-113 via FanDuel) ???
- Isaiah Hartenstein 10+ points (+310 via FanDuel) ???

With Maxey and Joel Embiid both out, the 76ers will need other scorers to pick up the slack. While their third-leading scorer Tobias Harris seems the likely choice, his total is set 2.5 points above his season average and the price is -125 or worse at all of our best sports betting sites.
Therefore, we're going to take Hield. Hield is averaging 14.8 points per ga me with the 76ers this season. In the only game in which he faced the Knicks while playing for Philly, he scored 14. Embiid did not play in that game and Maxey scored 35 points.
With both of those players out, there is a legitimate chance that Hield ends up being the leading scorer for the 76ers. To get the number right at his season average for +100 seems like an error.

This is another play that is based more upon who will be stepping on the floor for the 76ers than our confidence in the player shooting. Lowry is averaging 1.7 made 3-pointers per game this season, and since joining the 76ers, he's made 11 3-pointers in seven games.
In March, Lowry is averaging 34.2 minutes per game, up from 23.0 in his three games with the team in February. Playing more minutes has led to him shooting many more 3-pointers. He's averaging 5.5 attempts this month as opposed to 1.7 last month.
This is still only a three-star play because Lowry has gone ice-cold at various times this season. While with the Miami Heat, he had an 0-for-18 stretch over five games. In Sunday's game, he's going to attempt at least six shots from beyond the arc, and as a 38.8% three-point shooter this season, we expect him t o make at least two.
Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson are both out for Sunday, which means Hartenstein has the potential to have a huge game against the Embiid-less 76ers. Of course, the Knicks have been without Randle and Robinson for a few games and Hartenstein has struggled to perform offensively. He scored fewer than 10 points in seven consecutive games, and he scored just five points in each of his last two outings.
The last time these two teams played, Hartenstein didn't score at all in 11 minutes of action. But in the first head-to-head meeting, he scored 17 points in 35 minutes. That performance came with Embiid on the floor.
In addition, the range for this prop being offered by our best sports betting apps is incredible. Caesars is offering odds of +185, implying a 35.09% chance of him scoring 10 points, according to our odds converter. FanDuel is implying odds of 24.39%. Since the ot her sportsbooks are closer to Caesars than FanDuel, the value offered by FanDuel is just too good to pass up.
