Best NBA Player Prop Bet: V.J. Edgecombe (PHI) Over 3.5 Assists in 76ers vs Hornets (-125)
Odds available at bet365 & Fanatics at time of publishing. Playable to -135
V.J. Edgecombe hit the dagger last night in the Knicks-Sixers game with a 3-pointer from Tyrese Maxey at the top of the key with the shot clock winding down. Though it's clear he has had to take a back seat with 4 former All-NBA players in the starting lineup, the second night of back-to-backs is when Edgecombe could take over. Joel Embiid and LeBron James statuses are uncertain, after both played 33+ minutes on Friday Night. Now traveling to Charlotte, who is also on a back-to-back, this could be a time for the 76ers to rest their core. Though the injury report for Philadelphia hasn't been released as of publication, the Sixers are just 1.5-point favorites tonight on the road against the Hornets - A sign that some of the Sixers' core could sit this one out, even Jaylen Brown, who was unable to play last night.
