-110 at bet365

What choices do the Philadelphia 76ers have? If Joel Embiid were available, perhaps this series would be interesting. 

But with “The Process” sidelined by an appendectomy, Philadelphia is simply out-gunned against the Boston Celtics. It needs to lean fully on its dynamic backcourt and wings, led by Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.

The rookie has held off any proverbial wall, though his 0-for-5 showing from beyond the arc in Game 1 was a bit worrying. Yet, Edgecombe still scored 13 points in just 34 minutes.

Expect both increased minutes and at least one 3-pointer — Edgecombe shot 35.4% from deep on 5.6 attempts per game in the regular season. Either ingredient should be enough to push him past this points prop.

Logic says the San Antonio Spurs superstar will not go 5-for-6 from beyond the arc in Game 2 after doing so on Sunday. 

But if Victor Wembanyama misses a few more 3-pointers, then this game is likely to be closer than Game 1, and suddenly the towering Frenchman may need to play more than 33 minutes.

In other words, either game state should set up Wembanyama to reach 30+ points for the sixth time in his last seven games, including the 35 he hung in his playoff debut.

The Portland Trail Blazers have no way to guard Wembanyama, and Donovan Clingan cannot keep up with him — the one clear weakness in the second-year center’s defense. 

It is, unfortunately for Portland, a weakness Wembanyama gladly…
