Iām leaning toward the home side but giving each teamās respective superstar their due in my NBA same game parlay for Wednesday night.

Our best Magic vs 76ers SGP for April 15
TheĀ Philadelphia 76ers are short chalk for this Play-In tilt, scoring home court thanks to the Orlando Magic missing the mark in the season finale against the Celticsā skeleton crew. Philadelphia is used to playing without Embiid and owns a 19-8 SU record as home favorites this season.
Paolo Banchero took the blame for the loss to Boston ā a game in which he fired up 22 field goal attempts. I see another aggressive attack from Orlandoās standout, with game projections sitting between 23.5 and 25 points Wednesday.
Tyrese Maxey seems to find another gear when Embiid goes down. Heās become a fantastic inside-out scorer with improved shooting from deep. He knocked down three or more triples in two of the three meeting with the Magic and projection call for another 3+ day from 3-point land for Maxey.
