The Maxey and Brown 4 Leg Gainbridge Parlay, by Agent Dime

Four Philadelphia lines: a Tyrese Maxey three, Jaylen Brown's scoring and a three, and LeBron James's rebounds.

Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe are no longer on ESPN's list. For Indiana, Ivica Zubac is ruled out and Tyrese Haliburton is questionable with hamstring tightness, with Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Obi Toppin also listed, so Dime waits for Wednesday's lineups.
