Our same-game parlay is available below, but make sure to also check our other predictions on the side and total for Tuesday’s action!
Julius Randle Over 22.5 Points (-116)
RJ Barrett Over 1.5 Made Threes (-136)
Evan Fournier Over 2.5 Made Threes (+120)
Parlay odds: +595
Julius Randle Over 22.5 Points (-116)
Randle’s point total has been set pretty low for this one considering he has already had two 30-point games this season. He carried the Knicks with 35 points against the Celtics in the season opener, then had 21 against the Magic in a blowout win after which he scored another 30 on the Magic again. Playing the 76ers, who are still without defensive player of the year candidate Ben Simmons, Randle should be able to get to his season average, especially when Joel Embiid has a minor knock. In the three games against Philadelphia last regular season he went Over 22.5 Points twice.

RJ Barrett Over 1.5 Made Threes (-136)
Barrett is one of the more underrated three-point shooters in the NBA in my opinion. He finished last season with a 40% success rate from downtown, which was pretty impressive for a second-year player. This season he appears to be taking it a step further with his attempts increasing to 6.3 per game over the first week of the season. After a couple of off nights against the Magic, I think he bounces back with a solid performance against the Sixers. New York attempts the most shots from beyond-the-arc, so expect Barrett to let it fly and hopefully he connects on a couple of shots.
Evan Fournier Over 2.5 Made Threes (+120)
Other than Randle, Fournier is the clear cut second scoring option on this Knicks roster. He has gone over the 2.5 made threes mark already twice this season, scoring 6 against the Celtics and 4 against his former team the Magic. His attempts have also gone up from 5.9 to almost 10 per game this season. That number probably isn’t sustainable for the rest of the year, but him taking so many of them does increase his chances of making at least 3 per game.
