76ers vs. Wizards: The best player prop bets for Game 4
The top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers are on their way to an opening round sweep of the Washington Wizards. After a respectable Game 1 showing, the Wizards were blown out in Games 2 and 3 by over 25 points per contest.
Joel Embiid led the way for the 76ers in their lopsided 132-103 Game 3 win on Saturday, tallying 36 points on 14-18 shooting from their field.
As we head into Game 4 on Monday night, here are the three best player props to wager on.
Seth Curry Over/Under 12.5 Points
Seth Curry is often unjustly compared to his older brother, Steph. Although his numbers and stardom come up short by comparison, he has developed into a talented 3-point shooter who spreads the floor for the 76ers. The 30-year-old guard is a 45% 3-point shooter who has averaged 13.0 points per game so far in this series.

In Game 4, look for the Wizards to pack the paint more than they have in any prior matchup. If Washington doubles Embiid and shuts down the interior with help-defense, Curry will be the primary beneficiary with plenty of kick-outs and additional open looks.
Pick: Over 12.5 points (-113)
Tobias Harris Over/Under 6.5 Rebounds
Tobias Harris has averaged 6.1 rebounds per game over the course of his career. This season with the 76ers, he is averaging 6.8 as defenders also cope with Embiid and Simmons. In this series against the Wizards, he scooped up six rebounds in Game 1, nine rebounds in Game 2, and 13 rebounds in Game 3.
Thanks to the attention Embiid draws from the likes of Rui Hachimura, Davis Bertans, and Robin Lopez, Harris should have plenty of opportunities to gobble up boards again tonight. The Wizards’ strength lies in the guard play of Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook, and they are woefully ill-equipped to limit Harris’ impact on the glass.
Pick: Over 6.5 rebounds (-136)
Ben Simmons to record a double-double
Ben Simmons records double-doubles the same way that other people breathe air. The three-time All-Star tallied 13 double-doubles and four triple-doubles during the regular season, and is averaging 14.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 10.7 assists in this series.
Watch this Ben Simmons sequence.

The question tonight isn't so much whether Simmons will record a double-double, but rather whether he'll record it by the third quarter. These are very generous odds for a prop that seems like a slam dunk.
Pick: Yes (+105)
