76ers vs. Knicks prop bet predictions for Tuesday

A lineup of scrappy Villanova grads taking down the 76ers in the opening round of the NBA playoffs might break the City of Brotherly Love. It can't be easy watching Jalen Brunson, who won two March Madness titles in Philly, turn into prime Allen Iverson. 

Brunson is averaging 33 points in the series, but has scored at least 39 in back-to-back contests and has the chance to stick a dagger through Philly's heart. With his usage – averaging 42 minutes per game and 29 field goal attempts – along with the 76ers' penchant for fouling, Brunson is poised to put on a show in the Big Apple.

With the odds as short as -127 at our other best sportsbooks, these odds are a huge value. The -127 odds elsewhere imply a 55.95% probability the Over hits, according to our odds calculator, but our odds pay out $19.26 on a $10 wager.

Best odds: -108 via DraftKings

If you've ever wondered what it would look like if a velociraptor played basketball, and of course you have, just watch Josh Hart. Hart plays like he thinks every single rebound is his, despite being a 6-foot-4 small forward. There's a non-zero chance that head coach Tom Thibodeau created Hart in a lab to be his definition of a perfect three.

His effort and tenacity have been on full display against the 76ers with his disruptive defense and go-go gadget like ability to pull in rebounds. Hart is averaging 12.8 rebounds in the series, with at least 13 in three of four games. 

He's been able to expose a 76ers team that allowed the third-most rebounds per game to small forwards in the regular season. That's why we're comfortable with the +104 odds implying only a 49.02% probability the Over hits, especially with a $10 bet cashing a $10.40 profit.

Best odds: < /b>+104 via FanDuel
