Sixers vs. Wizards Game 4 Player Props (May 31, 2021)
The Philadelphia 76ers will enter Monday night’s contest against the Washington Wizards with a chance to complete a series sweep in Game 4. The Sixers kept up their dominant ways in Game 3, pulling off the most lopsided result of the series in a 29-point road victory. In fact, Game 3 got so out of hand so early Sixers coach Doc Rivers opted to sit most of his starters throughout the fourth quarter.

Game 3’s standout performance easily came from Sixers franchise center Joel Embiid, who dropped 36 points on 14-18 shooting from the field, including 3-4 from beyond the arc. The MVP finalist also pulled down eight rebounds in the game, while dishing out two assists and recording three steals. Starters Tobias Harris (20), Seth Curry (15), Danny Green (15) and Ben Simmons (14) all joined Embiid in double figures, with Embiid, Curry, and Green each playing fewer than 29 minutes. Washington’s backcourt of Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook combined for 51 points on 19-44 shooting from the field with big men Rui Hachimura and Daniel Gafford joining Beal and Westbrook as the only other Wizards to record double-digit points.
Will Washington force a fifth game back in Philadelphia or will the Sixers finish off their first sweep in a playoff series in over 30 years?
Tobias Harris to Score 20+ Points (-140, FanDuel Sportsbook)
Sixers forward Tobias Harris continues to impress in this first round series following arguably the best regular season of his career. Harris started the series picking up the scoring load in Game 1 as Joel Embiid was forced to sit out most of the first half due to foul trouble, putting up 37 points on 15-29 shooting from the field. In Game 2, he only attempted 13 field goals, converting on 69.2% of them, while raising his rebounding total from six in Game 1 to nine in Game 2 all while playing in nearly 14 fewer minutes of game action. In Game 3, he hit 57.1% of his shots, including going 2-3 from deep, while dishing out five assists and pulling down 13 rebounds.
Harris has posted at least 20 points and while the Sixers have been utterly dominant throughout the series, it stands to reason that head coach Doc Rivers could play Harris more than any other starter in Game 4. It’s worth noting that Harris got plenty of run with Philadelphia’s second unit in the fourth quarter of Game 3 with the idea of working out the kinks for a second round series.

Seth Curry to Score Over 11.5 Points (-125, BetMGM)
Sixers sharpshooter Seth Curry played a much larger role as a facilitator in Game 3 than at any previous point in this series, dishing out six assists, which marked the highest number of assists since an April 10 performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Overall, Curry has had a relatively efficient series, settling into his role as the team’s best floor spacer. Curry’s Game 3 performance was similar as that of his Game 1 output in terms of scoring, putting up 15 points in each contest. To his credit, Curry was even more efficient in Game 3 than Game 1, raising his shooting percentage from 4.62% to 54.5% from the field, including his highest three-point percentage (50%) on 3-6 shooting from deep.
Head coach Doc Rivers has encouraged Curry to be more aggressive in this series and it has paid huge dividends for Philadelphia. Curry has gone over the 11.5 threshold twice in this series and did so in each of the Sixers’ three matchups against the Wizards in the regular season. He has also done so in seven of his last twelve games overall.

Bradley Beal to Make Over 1.5 Three-Pointers (-143, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Washington’s star guard Bradley Beal has performed admirably through a hamstring injury in this series, racking up 30.3 points per game. Beal has seen his field goal percentage drop in each game from 56.5% in Game 1 to 50% in Game 2 to just 38.5% in Game 3. Beal put up 33 points in each of the first two games of the series and 25 points in Game 3. As such, taking Beal to go over/under 31.5 points is tricky, especially with -113 odds on either side.
The best bet worth looking at surrounding Beal is that of him to hit two or more three-pointers at -143 odds. While it would be fair to point out that Beal has gone just 3-20 from beyond the arc in this series, hitting just one three-pointer in each game, this is the longest such stretch since April 30-May 3. Prior to this series, Beal posted a 4-7 performance from downtown against the Indiana Pacers.
In three regular season games against the Sixers, Beal went 3-8, 7-10, and 1-2 from beyond the arc. Beal’s three point attempts in Game 3 (8) exceeded that of his Game 1 (6) and Game (2) totals. Expect Beal to put up at least six three-point attempts, hitting at least two in what could be his team’s final game of the season.
