Assuming McConnell again gets major minutes in Game 5, think the game will come down to whether he or Rozier has a better night. Sixers are 8-0 when McConnell gets 15 or more.

Philly opened at minus 1 but I saw earlier Boston was minus 1. And if we go back to game 1 in Boston, Philly was actually minus 4 1/2.
The zig zag theory, after a few seasons of not working, has been really rolling in just about every playoff series this year.
