Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Tyrese Maxey / Over Points / 26.5 at -115 / 62% / Maxey’s usage spikes without Embiid (averaging 28.2 PPG in those games); Bucks’ perimeter defense allows 25+ to lead guards, supported by 76ers’ high pace and his 37.5% 3PT efficiency vs. similar foes.
Player Prop #2: Damian Lillard / Over Points / 24.5 at -110 / 58% / Lillard’s scoring load increases sans Giannis (27.1 PPG last 5 without him); 76ers rank 22nd in guard defense, yielding 24.8 PPG, with his quick-release pull-ups thriving in pick-and-roll matchups.
Player Prop #3: Khris Middleton / Over Assists / 4.5 at -112 / 55% / Middleton facilitates more without Giannis (5.2 APG in absences); 76ers’ interior focus leaves wings open for drives, boosting his playmaking as Bucks’ secondary creator in a projected up-tempo game.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans slightly toward the 76ers, but divergent money distribution indicates sharp action on Philadelphia amid the injury news, creating value in following the pros rather than fading. Both teams’ offensive ratings drop without their stars (Bucks 108.2 ORtg sans Giannis, 76ers 105.6 without Embiid), pointing to a grind-it-out affair under the total. Overall, the matchup favors disciplined play over hype, with EV tilting toward the underdog spread and under.

🔮 Recommended Play
[Fade the public on Bucks / Follow the money with 76ers] — mathematical probability supports Philadelphia covering the slim line in a tight, low-scoring battle.
