3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Sixers vs. Raptors in Game 3 (Joel Embiid's Points Prop is Too High)

The Philadelphia 76ers dominated Games 1 and 2 of their first-round series with the Toronto Raptors, and now they look to take a commanding 3-0 lead Wednesday night.  

Toronto has some history on its side, but it is also dealing with injuries to Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr. and Thaddeus Young.

Young and Trent Jr. played in Game 2, but both were ineffective. If you’re not sure how to bet on this game, targeting some player props may be the way to go. 

Here are three of my favorites at WynnBET Sportsbook for this matchup: 

Best Prop Bets for Sixers vs. Raptors Game 3

• Joel Embiid UNDER 32.5 Points (-115)
• Tyrese Maxey OVER 18.5 Points (-120)
• Pascal Siakam to Make a 3-Pointer (-179)

Joel Embiid UNDER 32.5 Points (-115)

Joel Embiid has been dominant all season long, but he hasn’t been the same against the Raptors, clearing 32.5 points in just one of his five games against them this season. 

Despite taking 14 free throws in Game 2, Embiid still finished with 31 points, and I think the Raptors may put up a better fight in Game 3 at home. Embiid is going to get his, but I’m not bold enough to take him to get 33 or more points tonight. 

Tyrese Maxey OVER 18.5 Points (-120)

BetSided’s Donnavan Smoot pointed out why he is targeting Tyrese Maxey in this game, and it’s hard to argue with the fact that Maxey’s prop is set way too low in Game 3. 

Maxey has scored 38 and 23 points in the first two games of this series, and he was able to clear this number despite taking just 11 shots in Game 2. 

Maxey has cleared this line in five of his six games against the Raptors this season, and he is averaging well over 20 points per game in his last eight contests. Expect him to dominate again on Wednesday. 

Pascal Siakam to Make a 3-Pointer (-179)

Pascal Siakam isn’t the greatest shooter from beyond the arc, but he has made a 3 in four of his last six games, taking two or more shots from deep in five of those six games. 

Siakam is shooting a respectable 34.4 percent from beyond the arc this season, and with 

Embiid lurking in the paint, I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes advantage of some extra space on the perimeter in Game 3. The volume has been there, so I think this is worth a shot for Siakam on Wednesday.
