The New York Knicks have maintained their momentum after a hard-fought seven-game first-round series victory over the Toronto Raptors. Behind Jalen Brunson, they have won the first three games of the semifinal round against the 76ers, placing them one win away from a sweep.
As the 76ers attempt to avoid elimination in Sunday’s afternoon matchup, we examine a three-leg same-game parlay that could provide attractive returns.
Odds listed are best at time of publishing.

Odds: +210 on FanDuel Sportsbook
As noted, the Knicks enter Sunday’s potential series-ending contest with significant momentum. New York has won the first three games of the series against the 76ers by margins of 39, six, and 14 points, highlighting their ability to succeed in various game situations.
The Knicks’ most recent win in Game 3 on Friday night was especially notable because it came without star forward OG Anunoby, who sat out due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Game 4.
Anunoby had averaged 21.4 points (on 61.9% shooting, including 53.8% from deep), 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks over 35.3 minutes per game in the first eight postseason contests. His absence could have disrupted New York’s ability to match Philadelphia’s intensity on the road.
The comfortable victory should give the Knicks plenty of confidence heading into Sunday, but the 76ers are even more desperate than they were on Friday. Oddsmakers recognize this by making the Knicks a slim 1.5-point favorite.
Consequently, we utilize FanDuel’s Alt. Spread feature to gain some extra safety and give New York four points for the first leg. According to Team Rankings, the Knicks have a +4.4-point average scoring margin on the road, and the Sixers have a -1.6-point figure at home since the regular season began. A revised spread
