The 76ers vs Knicks Bets seek to dive deeper into a Game 2 from the basketball Mecca known as Madison Square Garden. Yes, Round 1 matchups like this can prove to be challenging. However, New York found a way to win Game 1 and is again the favorite for Game 2. Can they overcome their own demons to deliver Philadelphia a stinging blow on Monday night? Bovada Sportsbook Review keeps taking a few more shots at this Eastern Conference showdown.
76ers vs Knicks Bets brought the chaos on Saturday night. So, many expected a highly competitive Game 1. That part delivered but how the script played out was purely insane. New York showed why they were one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference in the first half. However, Philadelphia delivered a huge counter in the third quarter. They outscored the Knicks by 15 points to take a lead.
However, everything in the Philadelphia process must include some kind of adversity. At some point, this becomes a norm of sorts when it comes to the 76ers. Sadly, it came at the worst possible time. Joel Embiid injured himself during an amazing alley-oop play. He was not right afterwards. Though he battled, much like the 76ers, the team and him were not the same. New York was able to finish off a dramatic fourth quarter comeback.

Alright, Round 1 showed some intriguing NBA playoff Vegas Odds and some fun outs err options. Think about it. Is Josh Hart going to go off every fourth quarter of this series? Probably not. However, that Embiid injury is going to play a part in this series. Maybe, Philadelphia can rally around this but does it take a couple of games? That is a great question as well.
Anyway, there are some picks to chew on. We unveil a few wrinkles below too. That being said, the goal is to take our shots here. Philadelphia, for some reason, likes long and drawn out series. What is it with the NBA’s Eastern Conference? All kidding aside, Boston and Miami last year taught us a humbling lesson. Take smaller wages and the New York moneyline for Game 2.
76ers vs Knicks bets shoot for those props on Monday. NBA Vegas Online Prop Bets try to keep it simple as always. For one, the NBA playoffs still have almost a couple of months to go. Blowing one’s bankroll early leaves nothing for later. It is like binging on a whole bag of potato chips. Limit yourself and profit.
Naturally, we try to keep this thing on the straight and narrow. Okay, how far does tumble over the Overs on Monday night? The Game Over here lies at 209.5. One has to believe New York can do this again? Why? Simply, the numbers do not lie. Even in their season finale win over Chicago, New York found a way to use overtime to hit that Team and Game Over. Check this trend out!
In New York's 111-104 Game 1 win over Philadelphia y'day, the 215 combined points went 'over' the 208.5-point total. The 'over' has hit in 6 straight games for the Knicks, is 12-1 in their last 13 games & is 14-2 in their last 16 contests.

Yes, typos aside, the trends favor a hair more scoring on Monday night too. New York also pushed past the 30-point mark in the fourth quarter. That was an interesting wrinkle in the trend as New York rode the crowd to victory. It had been a long while since MSG was that loud for a basketball game. The Knicks need to push the tempo to win.
So, that -110 number for the 209.5 Over is our pick here for the 76ers vs Knicks Bets. Yes, more props lie below as always. Again, we may move some spreads too and try to massage the numbers here. The two teams combined for 215 points on Saturday and they figure to come close to that number for Game 2. Philadelphia has weapons to keep up. As a potential hedge, that Philadelphia Over 104.5 points (+130) is not a bad option too.
76ers vs Knicks bets dine in on more props. So, at Vegas Betting, we strive to find some differing angles on the action. After all, this is because, full moons aside, strange things happen at Madison Square Garden this time of year. Does Jalen Brunson atone for what happened in Game 1?
First, take a look at the Team Over of 109.5 for the Knicks (+135). One can always stay away from this and opt for the Brunson Over 30.5 Points at -115. There is that Joel Embiid Under 29.5 points at -110. Both players made a mere eight field goals in Game 1. However, the Embiid injury worries many and Brunson expects to rebound in Game 2.
Next, we can tease the spread up to 5.5 points at +105 on BetOnline. This means New York would have to win by six or more points. If New York can contain Philadelphia’s runs at the starts of quarters, that is an attainable number. Those Brunson player props look interesting. It is okay to go down that rabbit hole on Monday.
NBA Online betting odds and that Monday schedule expect to see a little more fun.
Can Los Angeles finally figure out Denver? Could Orlando rebound against a resurgent Cleveland team? Yes, there are always many questions. That is why it is the NBA Playoffs.
