The NBA rolls on with a six-game slate tonight. The player prop market has been good to us. Let’s take a look at the board and find more winning NBA picks.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Indiana Pacers
Monday, March 6, 2023 – 07:00 PM EST at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Matchup Analysis
The Philadelphia 76ers made a statement on Saturday. They defeated the first-place Milwaukee Bucks 133-130. The 76ers were down by 18 points in the third quarter. They put up 48 points in the fourth quarter to end Milwaukee season’s best 16-game winning streak.
James Harden was huge in that game. Harden scored 19 points in the 4th quarter. He finished with a stat line of 38 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. This is the type of play the 76ers are going to need from Harden if they’re going to have a chance to win the Eastern Conference.
In the win, Joel Embiid had 31 points and 10 assists. Embiid drained a three-pointer that won the game for the 76ers. This was an important win for the Sixers because they beat one of their top rivals on the road and in a nationally televised game. The Sixers will look to continue that momentum tonight against the Indiana Pacers. Tonight’s game will be the 4th in a five-game road trip for Philadelphia.
The Indiana Pacers will not be an easy out, however. Indiana has won three of its last four games. Indiana played yesterday and notched a 125-122 win over the Chicago Bulls. In that game, Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton scored 29 points including a three-point shot with 2 seconds left to move the Pacers into 11th place in the Eastern Conference. We should get a good effort from both teams tonight.
Joel Embiid
This is a great matchup for Joel Embiid. Embiid has always done well against Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner. Although Harden had a great game on Saturday, Embiid will be the focal point of the offense tonight.
We can expect a big night from the Philadelphia 76ers as they look to build momentum after their huge win. Joel Embiid will lead the way. Our first player prop for the evening is Joel Embiid over 32.5 points at -114 NBA odds.

Toronto Raptors vs. Denver Nuggets
Monday, March 6, 2023 – 09:00 PM EST at Ball Arena
Matchup Analysis
The Toronto Raptors come into tonight’s game after a big win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. The Toronto Raptors scored a 116-109 victory. This game was important for the Toronto Raptors who are pushing for a spot in the playoffs.
The Raptors have won nine of their last 12 games. The Raptors have three games remaining on a five-game road trip. After two games against the Washington Wizards, they have to travel to play in one of the toughest arenas for opposing teams. The Denver Nuggets have been a juggernaut at home. The Toronto Raptors have been playing better on the road, however, and are 4-2 over their last six road games.
The Denver Nuggets are coming off an emphatic victory over the West’s second-place team. The Nuggets defeated the second-place Grizzlies 113-97 in Denver. The win was important because now they are six games ahead of the Grizzlies in the standings.
Denver is the overwhelming favorite to have a home-court advantage throughout the whole playoffs. They’ve been excellent at home and are 29-4 in Ball Arena. They will try to get their 30th home win tonight against the Toronto Raptors.
Jamal Murray
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray can have a great night again, he has gone over this point prop total in his last two games. Murray will be able to use the pick and roll in order to attack the weakest Toronto perimeter defender and put up a big night.
Murray and Nikola Jokic will be able to isolate Gary Trent Jr. and Jakob Poeltl. These are advantage matchups for the Nuggets on offense and the team will be looking to exploit this weakness
I expect the Nuggets to get another win at home and for Jamal Murray to lead the way. Our second player prop for this evening is Jamal Murray over 21.5 points. And don’t forget that bettors residing in Mile High City can make all of their bets at any of the top Colorado betting sites.
NBA Pick: Jamal Murray over 21.5 points (-117) at BetOnline
