Someone go dig up that bitch Amelia

Big Kelly show - defensive focus should be Maxey + Jo

The Knicks face off against the 76ers in a showdown between two of the East’s best teams. Joel Embiid’s health looms large in this matchup. He did not appear to be operating at 100% in the Play-In Game against Miami but he still was productive. This series against the Knicks may be his toughest test. The Knicks have a multitude of Centers that they can deploy on him to keep the pressure on with fresh legs. This should impact his ability to score and he may just wear down as the series progresses. One thing I've already noticed is Philly is playing more drop with Embiid now. His mobility is a bit limited and they have to commit to that defensive scheme because it is a bit less strenuous.  This should open the door for Jalen Brunson. Brunson torches drop defense and he should be able to lead the series in scoring (+100). Brunson is averaging 33.1 ppg in his last 20 games and has been tremendous without Julius Randle. Although he scored just 19, 20, and 21 in three games against the Sixers in February and March, none of those games featured Embiid and the Sixers' defensive scheme was different. In the one game Embiid played, Brunson dropped 29 alongside of Julius Randle back in January. I like Brunson to stay hot and to go over his Game 1 Points prop of 29.5, a number he has exceeded in 9 of his last 10 games.
