NBA Player Props Tonight for Knicks vs 76ers: Joel Embiid Leads My +563 SGP (Nov 12)

The Philadelphia 76ers may have lost Tyrese Maxey to injury on their way to a 2-7 start this season, but they're set to return Joel Embiid to the lineup as they get the Emirates NBA Cup started on Tuesday.

That could be bad news for the New York Knicks, who have now dropped three of four and sit down near the bottom of the league in defending the rim, but can a rusty Embiid really single-handedly revive what's been a very flat offense?

Let's build a same-game parlay for Knicks vs 76ers on Tuesday, November 12th and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

Joel Embiid 25+ Points

Welcome back, Joel. The Sixers need you in the worst way, sitting 27th in offensive efficiency through nine games with little production to speak of out of the frontcourt.

• The Knicks will be there to greet you with great generosity, having some issues of their own on the defensive end where they've given up 115.5 points per 100 possessions to sit 21st in the league.

The matchup couldn't be any sweeter for Embiid, heading up against a frontcourt that's ranked 27th in field goal defense at the rim, and one which -- while stronger a year ago -- still yielded 25 or more points in six of seven games against the big man.

Embiid will go after a lineup that's depleted down low thanks to an injury to Precious Achiuwa and the departure of Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency, with just Karl-Anthony Towns to carry the fright. Towns has given up 28.6 points per game in his career against Embiid, with the superstar shooting 51.4% from the floor and going for 25 or mor in four straight.

Yes, we're taking a bit of a risk here on a player who will be making his season debut and could be eased into action as a result, but I feel very confident Embiid can get home on this number in what's a dream matchup when you also consider the Knicks have been horrid against the mid-range shot.

Jalen Brunson 25+ Points

The Sixers rank 26th of 30 teams in defending the rim, allowing 70.3% shooting in the area, and have also allowed shots there at the fourth-highest clip in the NBA with nearly 37% of all attempts coming at the cup.

• Now, you may wave your finger at me here and claim the Sixers will surely improve given Embiid's return, but I'll remind you that the Sixers gave up the seventh-most looks at the rim a year ago and ranked 17th in defending the zone.

That doesn't lead me to one of New York's bigs, no, it brings me right to Jalen Brunson.

The star guard has been quite volatile in scoring the ball this year, but he's still managed to score 25 or more in three of his last five and has done better work at the rim this year than he has in the last two seasons, shooting 67% and taking shots there near a career-high at 23%.

With Philly ranking 26th at the rim and 28th against short mid-range looks, the recipe for a big game out of this highly-skilled scorer inside the arc is certainly there.

Mikal Bridges 3+ Made Threes

We'll have a bit of fun here and hyper-focus on the corner 3, where the Sixers have allowed 43.7% of shots to fall in yet another bottom-five mark for this defense.

Bridges is a master of the corner 3, sitting atop the league in hitting the shot 52% of the time this season after several years of scorching numbers from the spot.

New York's 3-point shooting has been the highlight of the team on either end, and we've quickly seen Bridges blossom into one of the most important men on the floor in that area. He's now taken 8.2 shots from deep on average in his last six contests, and while his conversion rate isn't the spiciest he's gone for three or more triples in four of his last six.
