DraftKings. Paul George has remained under this line in each of the four games in this series. In the Sixers lone win, he recorded 7 rebounds + assists on 17 combined potentials. In the three losses, he recorded 5 R+A in each game, with 10-11 potentials per contest. Defensively, he’s been limited in his ability to crash the boards as his primary responsibility has been defending either Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum. And now with Joel Embiid back in the fold, PG’s front court touches, touch time, and potential assists all decreased in Game 4. I’m not seeing the upside tonight - if the Sixers are going down, it’ll be with Tyrese Maxey and Embiid dominating the ball.

Kelly Oubre was the big statistical loser with Joel Embiid back on the court for the 76ers. After scoring 10, 12 and 17 points in the first three games, Oubre went 0-for-6 from the field and was blanked in the Game 4 loss to the Celtics. The only matchup between these teams in the regular season after Nov. 11, Oubre scored just four points on 2-for-10 shooting. Boston ranks No. 1 in fewest points allowed to small forwards.
The Celtics own a pair of 32-point wins in this series. In Game 4, despite Joel Embiid's return, Boston outrebounded Philadelphia 51-30. Boston's 14 offensive rebounds led to a flurry of 3-pointers. The Celtics aren't going to take the 76ers lightly after what happened in Game 2. Back the best team in the East to close out this series in convincing fashion.

We’re getting a hefty discount on this combination line for Derrick White who has been quiet so far through the opening round of the playoffs. White is still playing heavy minutes in this series and I expect him to breakout of the mini slump he’s been in. White is shooting just 31% from the field through this series. The versatile combo guard averaged over 26 PRA in the regular season.
