The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers square off tonight in Philadelphia and I have a total Harden for this rematch of Sunday night. Especially in terms of the player props available. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for  Knicks vs. Sixers

  • James Harden OVER 34.5 Points + Assists (-140)
  • James Harden OVER 2.5 Threes Made (-120)
  • James Harden OVER 0.5 Triple Doubles (+230)

James Harden OVER 34.5 Points + Assists (-140)

Harden has played just two games for the 76ers, but I see something in his game that I have not seen in years. He’s out there having a ton of fun with his new team and the results are speaking for themselves. In Harden’s first two games for the Sixers, he has 56 points, 28 assists and 18 rebounds combined. In comparison, his last game with the Nets saw him score four points with 12 assists and seven rebounds in 37 minutes. He now is 2-0 in double-doubles and has a fantastic matchup tonight against the Knicks. New York has an average overall defense but allows the 16th most assists to oppose teams and 15th in perimeter defense. As long as the minutes are there, I think Harden goes off again tonight. 

James Harden OVER 2.5 Threes Made (-120)

Piggybacking on the last pick, I want to add a second Harden play to this ticket. As mentioned above, the Knicks are the 15th ranked team in terms of opponent three-point shooting at 34.6%. Not a bad number but they will need to do better to contain Harden tonight. He’s attempted seven threes in each of his first two games in Philly. He went 3-for-7 on Sunday and 5-for-7 on Friday. He is clearly locked in and I’m going to ride him again. 

James Harden OVER 0.5 Triple Doubles (+230)

This one might feel like a stretch, but at these odds, I’m willing to take a chance. First off, Harden had a double-double on Sunday night against these same Knicks with a 29/10/18 stat line. The Sixers' newest addition also came within two rebounds for a triple-double in his debut game against the Timberwolves. At this price, I think there is good value in Harden beating up on the Knicks in back-to-back games as he continues to get more comfortable with his new team.
