The Sunday Philly Props: Sixers

We really wanted to Under on Joel Embiid Points here, but he was listed as questionable as he battles the stomach flu. So, instead, we go to the next best thing. Maybe even a better thing.

Ben Simmons can score, when he wants to. We know that. He gets to the rim with the best of them. But check out his point totals in progression the four times he has played against LeBron James (all last season vs. Cavaliers):

10 . . .14 . . .18 . . .27

Yeah, we see a pattern. And with or without Embiid we see that pattern set to continue. Especially with the All-Star Game a week away and his “coach” for that ASG on the opposing team.

Pick: Simmons Over 16.5 Points ($10/-115)
