BREAK IT DOWN:

(stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)

Tyrese Maxey 25+ Points (-182): Given the inflated odds, this is probably more of a parlay piece that anything else, but it’s not hard to see where the public is going with this. First and foremost, Tyrese Maxey finished fifth in the league in points per game during the regular season (28.3). He doesn’t need a set of special circumstances to hit this prop. However, let’s not pretend the absence of Joel Embiid (ankle/hip) doesn’t loom large. In the postseason, Maxey owns a 19.7% usage rate with Embiid on the floor. He’s averaging 20.5 points per 100 possessions in that scenario. With Embiid on the bench? Those figures shoot up to 34.5% and 29.1, respectively. That’s a humongous difference.

Karl-Anthony Tows Triple-Double, Yes (+1820): Towns only had one triple-double during the regular season. In fact, over the entirety of his career, including the playoffs, Towns had only accomplished the feat four times entering this postseason run with the Knicks. Suddenly, you can increase that count to six, as Towns went off for triple-doubles in both Game 4 and Game 6 of New York’s series with the Hawks. If you squint, you can kind of envision that the big man was on his way to yet another triple-double in Game 1 versus the 76ers, if only the tilt had been more competitive. In just 20.4 minutes of action on Monday, KAT registered 17 points, six rebounds and six assists. Increase that workload to 35 minutes this evening, and who knows what might happen?

Victor Wembanyama 30+ Points (+150): The vibe here is banking on a bounce-back performance for Wemby in Game 2. The former first-overall pick was held to a putrid 11 points on 5-for-17 shooting in Game 1 against the Timberwolves, which included Wembanyama going 0-for-8 on attempts from beyond the three-point arc. Still, even with some normalization, this is a lofty goal for bettors. Minnesota is allowing only 107.9 opponent points per 100 possessions so far in the playoffs, and a huge aspect of that success was Rudy Gobert shutting down Nikola Jokic. Wembanyama’s amazing, but he scored 30 or more points only 18 times in the regular season in 2025-26. He hasn’t done it in the postseason since Game 1 versus the Blazers.


3-Pick Parlay

Taking three of the most-bet player props individually is always an option, but why not roll them into a parlay and get in on all the action at once? It’s a fun way to tie everything together — feel free to tag along.

Tyrese Maxey 25+ Points (-182)

Karl-Anthony Tows Triple-Double, Yes (+1820)

Victor Wembanyama 30+ Points (+150)

Parlay Odds: +5400
