Thursday's slate features Knicks-Hawks, Celtics-76ers and Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 6s, with New York and Boston seeking series-clinching road wins and Minnesota leading Denver 3-2.
Recommended bets include CJ McCollum 20-plus points, Joel Embiid 28-plus points and Naz Reid seven-plus rebounds, while top DFS targets include Jamal Murray, Jayson Tatum, Embiid, Paul George and Cameron Johnson.
Injuries could shape outcomes, with Anthony Edwards ruled out for Minnesota, Aaron Gordon questionable for Denver and Josh Hart questionable for New York as teams battle elimination and possible Game 7s.

Is Joel Embiid's dominant return enough for the 76ers to overcome the well-rounded Celtics on their home court?
