| NBA | (571) New York Knicks at (572) Philadelphia 76ers: Mikal Bridges Points + Rebounds + Assists | 7:00pm EDT - May 8/2026 |
The PLAY: Mikal Bridges Points + Rebounds + Assists Over 21.5 (-125)
We’re jumping back on the Mikal Bridges train as it seems like the oddsmakers haven’t raised his NBA player prop lines high enough since his dreadful first few games against the Hawks. We’ll take Bridges over 21.5 points + rebounds + assists after he generated an average of 27 points + rebounds + assists over the last three games, including 25 points + rebounds + assists in the Knicks' 108-102 Game 2 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. Bridges played a playoff-high 38 minutes in that game and he could be in line for the same amount of minutes tonight with starters OG Anunoby and Josh Hart both heading in as questionable with injuries. If either of the two miss or are limited, it will increase usage for Bridges who is shooting a scorching 78% across his last three games. In four head-to-head matchups against Philadelphia in the regular season, Bridges averaged 26.3 points + rebounds + assists. With a couple Knicks starters banged up and Bridges coming back around since a rough start to the playoffs, let’s take him over 21.5 points + rebounds + assists as the Knicks look to take a commanding 3-0 lead in Philadelphia tonight.
