Okay, so I wanted to dive into some Knicks vs. 76ers player props for tonight’s game. I’ve been feeling pretty good about my picks lately, so I figured, why not share my process and see how it goes?
First, I pulled up the usual suspects, you know, the sports betting sites, to see what lines were available. I always like to compare the odds across a few different places before I really start digging in.
Then, I started looking at recent player performance. I wasn’t just interested in their season averages, though. I wanted to see how they’ve been playing in the last few games, and specifically, how they’ve performed against these same teams before. Sometimes a player just has another team’s number, you know?
- Checked Jalen Brunson’s points + assists.
- Looked at Joel Embiid’s rebound numbers.
- Compared Tyrese Maxey’s recent three-point attempts to the prop line.
Honestly, it was a lot of back and forth. Pulling up stats, crunching some quick numbers in my head, and then going back to the betting lines to see if anything looked juicy. For example, I noticed one player’s rebound prop was set pretty low, even though he’d been grabbing a ton lately. That’s the kind of stuff I look for – discrepancies between recent performance and the offered odds.
My Notes From The Deep Dive
I spent a good chunk of time looking at player matchups. Like, who’s usually guarding who? Does that matchup historically favor the over or the under on certain props? This is where it gets a bit tedious, but sometimes you find some real nuggets of information.
I also took a quick peek at injury reports. Obviously, a key player being out can totally change things, so I wanted to make sure I was up-to-date on any last-minute scratches.
Finally, after all that, I made my picks. It’s not an exact science, of course. It is gambling after all. But I felt like I had done my homework, put in the time, and made some educated decisions based on the information I had gathered. We’ll see how they pan out!
Keep your fingers crossed!
