Key Takeaways
1

Joel Embiid’s absence forces Tyrese Maxey into a larger offensive role—consider betting on Maxey over 24.5 points despite his slow start.

2

The Knicks’ recent momentum and ability to beat elite teams in high-pressure situations suggest they’re a legitimate Finals contender.

3

Under one and a half goals in the first period of NHL playoff games is a proven angle, though it’s emotionally taxing to watch.

The AL Central is wide open—Texas, Cleveland, and Kansas City are all viable contenders, but offensive consistency remains a concern.

Joel Embiid’s Absence & Knicks vs. Sixers Game 2

I think it's a Tyrese Maxey game. I bet his point prop over 24 and a half, again 20 minutes before the spread moved against me so I've got one good number and one bad number as he's sitting at 27 and a hook right now will but I think Tyrese Maxey's the one to attack it even at 27 and a half points.

I think we could rewind to last year having these same conversations where you just kept waiting for the offense. They get going, the pitching was fine and you have guys in the back of the rotation, Jack Leiter, Kumar rocker guys that were big prospects.

High-Impact Quotes
I thought they would give him the full-time job, which is kind of started to happen here. He's hit lefty. So I just looked at the advanced stuff in terms of the exit velocity, the barrel rate, all those kinds of nerdy stats and figured, you know what? At 150 to one, he's his ability to hit the ball hard and hit the ball with power is something that, you know, figured to take a shot at long way from getting home.

If you're willing to already have the mindset of I will call off the dogs in the fourth quarter of this game. Why wouldn't you think about resting him all together for game one?
