vs two unknown players

PokerStars - $0.50 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 137.36 BB
SB: 170.14 BB
BB: 53.86 BB
Hero (UTG): 103.12 BB
MP: 137.38 BB
CO: 67.44 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 7♦ 6♦

Hero raises to 2.5 BB, fold, CO calls 2.5 BB, fold, SB calls 2 BB, BB calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (10 BB, 4 players) 4♥ 8♦ 5♦
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 7.42 BB, fold, SB calls 7.42 BB, BB calls 7.42 BB

Turn: (32.26 BB, 3 players) Q♦
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

River: (32.26 BB, 3 players) 6♥
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 23.9 BB

Anyone play this differently?

I know right? What a punt. I get like this when I see people I've never seen before.

I would bet around half pot for value and protection as well on the turn against 2 villains. Any diamond on the river would be a scare card for you or 1 of the villains in the hand and you could miss value with checking as well.

Who call the flop, overpair, over cards, 2 diamonds, SB + BB with low pairs to catch str8.
I would check turn and bet on thr river.

I actually think you played it correctly, both in when you bet and how much in each case.

If you bet that turn what do you do if he shoves?
Since as you say the players are unknown, it might be worth giving up some value to see what they play.

OTOH SDK1987 is correct when he says you should bet the turn to charge A♦: and K♦: a decent price to see the next card.
I like the river bet because there exists a wide range of hands that will call.
I'm still not wanting to see a shove.

The river is a potential scare card of both villains as well. It's tough to get action of a hand that isn't a straight.
If 1 of the villains would shove the river it's tough to fold with the flush. You only lose against a better flush and I would expect those hands would bet the river.

I think you have to bet turn. Against two regs I would strongly consider checkback turn but when we have BB with 53.86bb interested in pot then I see no reason to check. He will call with a lot hands with one diamond or even gutshot. I'm completely not concerned about SB as its very unlikely he will do something fancy when BB is around so I dont mind just folding when he raises.
