Double play on Joel Embiid over 22.5 points.
The usage is there, the paint is his but he's shot really poorly the last two games. He missed 6 or 7 point blank shots in game 3. I'll back him to step up here. Tbh I would not be surprised if Philly win the next 3 games, I'm very tempted to have a bet on the series going to Game 7.
Lets remember Philly had a 21 point lead in game 2, they're clearly the more talented team but getting outcoached/their immaturity is killing them. There is a ceiling to that though, Philly don't have to make huge adjustments to win and potentially win emphatically. If Embiid makes his bunnies then we wouldn't be talking about Ben Simmons fatal mistakes. I expect Philly to lay down the hammer in game 4 taking momentum into game 5. We'll see.
Cavs/Raps. Not too sure how this one will play out, Derozan is a blight on this team. When he's on the court his slow methodical ball handling kills their rhythm, I doubt Casey has the stones to not start him though. Maybe he'll come out and pull off some hero ball. Ty Lue is talking about playing faster, he mentioned how Raps physicality disrupted their offense and they weren't getting their offense set until late into the shot clock. Again another series where it's really easy to forget Toronto could have won 2 games. Cavs are still a very flawed team but LBJ and Love are nightmarish mismatches for Toronto. LBJ can literally score 2 points whenever he wants, I think the Cavs are truly in trouble he will go into full takeover mode. I've backed LBJ over 31.5 points and Kevin Love over 16.5 points.
