Just 3 days after their clash at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers run it back, this time at the Wells Fargo Center. Tip-off is at 7:30 pm ET live on ESPN, and I’ve prepared a same game parlay which you can find below.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 8-game slate, including Part 2 of the ESPN doubleheader between the Blazers and Suns.
Let’s get into the Knicks vs 76ers clash first though!
James Harden to score 30+ points (+235)
Tobias Harris over 1.5 made threes (+120)
Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+118)
Parlay odds: +1588
James Harden to score 30+ points (+235)
In 2 games for the 76ers, Harden is averaging 28 points, 9 rebounds and a whopping 14 assists. Both of those games were on the road though in Minnesota and New York, and tonight is the home debut for Harden. What better way to make a first impression than dropping a cool 30 against the Knicks? In 25 career games against them he is averaging 28.2 points, and on Sunday he was 1 point short of 30. In the game before that, he dropped 34 against them. In his last 12 games against New York, he has scored 30 or more 8 times. The Knicks have allowed 125, 115, 111, 127 and 112 points over their last 5 games, so expect Harden to have a feast tonight.

Tobias Harris over 1.5 made threes (+120)
Harris drained 2 threes on 5 attempts in Sunday’s win at MSG, and that was his 2nd game in a row of 2 threes scored. He has done so in 4 of his last 7 games, and for the month of February he is shooting them at a 37% clip. The Knicks are fairly mediocre when it comes to guarding the perimeter — opponents shoot 34.6% against them from three-point land this season. On Sunday, the Sixers attempted 33 of them, and if that’s the case tonight I can definitely see Harris getting his portion of shots. Making 2 of them shouldn’t be that difficult.
Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+118)
Together with Barrett, Fournier was the leading scorer for the Knicks on Sunday scoring 24 points. Unlike Barrett, he was hot from three-point land and scored 6 of his 11 attempts. Fournier finished the game going 9-for-16 from the field. He went to the free-throw line just 3 times and is mostly a jump-shooting player these days. Over his last 10 games, he’s shooting it at 40.4% from deep and in 3 games against the 76ers that number is up to a staggering 52.4%. For some reason, he likes shooting it against Philly, and I expect at least 4 made tonight. He has done so in 7 of his 10 games played in February and he finished the month making 4.4 threes per game.
