The author, Geoffrey Clark, predicts that the Philadelphia 76ers will continue their high scoring trend in Game 4 against the New York Knicks after both teams broke multiple team records for free throws attempted and made in Game 3. However, he advises fading the previous game’s result due to excessive fouling by Embiid and Brunson that may not be repeated by referees in Sunday’s matchup. The author also mentions that this is the second-slowest pace series of any first round playoff games with defensive coaches from both teams leading five out of seven meetings between them during the regular season to go under the total.
The author suggests betting against Kawhi Leonard playing for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 due to his injury concerns and potential absence, as he left a “breadcrumb” about his knee not responding well after their loss in Game 3. The author highlights that even without Leonard’s presence, Harden has been outstanding in this series with an impressive stat line including high point totals, efficient shooting percentages, and positive net ratings while also forcing turnovers at a lower rate than Kyrie Irving or Luka Doncic can defend him.
The author suggests betting the under for Bucks vs Pacers Game 4 due to both teams’ one-sided games leading to low scoring in previous matches and expected adjustments by Milwaukee if they don’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo or Damian Lillard available. The author also predicts that Minnesota will sweep Phoenix as the Timberwolves lead all four factors of this series, with Anthony Edwards being a standout player for their team and Rudy Gobert providing strong defensive support against Devin Booker and Bradley Beal’s weaker defense compared to KD.
