ANALYSIS: See, I don't ALWAYS take favorites (as I pick a favorite): Won on Sixers at +3.5 for Game 3 as I correctly predicted that Joel Embiid would play. Go ahead and disregard the official NBA injury report in the playoffs. There's a reporting deadline by the league and that's why he was first listed as out. Obviously will play today and obviously Philly is way better with him. Not exactly breaking news here.
