00:00Man, this is something that I didn't want to see happen again,
00:02which is discussions about Joel Embiid being hurt yet again.
00:06Another leg injury maybe for him.
00:08We'll see.
00:08Tonight, the Hawks play the 76ers with Philly minus 1.5 at home.
00:12Total 237.5.
00:13This line certainly indicates no Embiid in this game this evening.
00:17Do you have a position here,
00:19and what do you make of this latest injury discussion with Embiid,
00:22who just has not been able to escape this for about three years?
00:26Yeah, I mean, it feels like the same old, same old situation with the Sixers.
00:29You know, people were feeling good about Embiid.
00:31You know, he played really well over his last 10 games
00:34before he was then out with the injury.
00:36We've also seen the Sixers struggle without him after playing at a high level.
00:40They got destroyed by the Knicks right before the All-Star break.
00:43So this, you look at that line and you're right, Craig,
00:451.5, that would indicate to you he's not playing.
00:48I know he's listed as day-to-day.
00:50So this is a tough game for me when you're looking at it from a betting perspective.
00:54I might stay away.
00:55If anything, I would look at some props in this game.
00:57I would look at Tyrese Maxey.
00:58Tyrese Maxey has played really well this season.
01:02He's averaging over 28 points a game.
01:03He has scored over 30 points in three straight games against the Hawks.
01:07So if you want to take Maxey 30-plus points,
01:09I think that's a good value bet for you here.
01:11If you want to even go up a little further to 35, you know,
01:15sprinkle something on that.
01:16I think that's not a bad play.
01:17That's a prop I would like.
01:19Jalen Johnson's also been playing good on the side of the Hawks.
01:21Anything with him, 25-plus points, I would like that as well, too.
01:24So if I was this game, I might stay away from the line
01:26because I could see the Hawks getting upset, but I would look at those couple of props here.
01:31I think those could be good.
