Joel Embiid exploded for 50 points and Philadelphia shot 54.1 percent and cut the series deficit to 2-1 with a 125-114 win over the Knicks on Thursday. It was the third quarter that made the difference as Embiid scored 18 points and New York was outscored 43-27. The Knicks shot 49 percent and hit 13 of 30 3-point tries and still did not even cover the 5.5 point spread. The 76ers have won 10 of their past 12 games and are 12-2 ATS their past 14 games. Embiid was the star of Game 3, but the Sixers also got big contributions from Tyrese Maxey, who scored 25 points, and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 15. Five of the past seven meetings have gone UNDER and look for a more defensive battle compared to Thursday's game. Philadelphia is 20-6 UNDER versus teams with winning records and 13-4 UNDER its past 17 playoff games as a favorite. New York is 15-6 UNDER its past 21 playoff games as an underdog. Take the 76ers on the moneyline and the UNDER.
