Philadelphia 76ers DFS SPIN
Philadelphia defeated the Miami Heat this past Wednesday in the play-in game to clinch the #7 seed. Joel Embiid led the way with 23 points and 15 rebounds. Embiid also knocked down some big 3-pointers late in the 4th quarter to seal the deal. Philadelphia will now face the New York Knicks in game one on Saturday.

The Knicks closed out the regular season with five-straight wins to clinch the #2 seed. Their latest victory was on Sunday April 14th, where they defeated the Chicago Bulls in overtime 120-119. Jalen Brunson scored 40 points in 41 minutes of action. Brunson has been excellent all season, he will look to continue his success now in the playoffs.

76ers vs. Knicks Prediction:
Take the Over. Neither one of these teams love to play fast, hints the low total, but each team has a superstar and outside shooting to help push this game over the total.
Offensively for Philadelphia they are going to play through Embiid, and I don’t think New York will have much of an answer for defending him. The Knicks will obviously continue to go through Brunson, and he has been able to score and get his teammates involved all season. This game should be tight throughout with each team trading buckets in the end.
