NBA Props: Best Tyrese Maxey bet for 76ers vs. Hornets

Published:

By: Alex Hunter

The 76ers head to Charlotte on Tuesday for a Group stage matchup with the Hornets. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Philadelphia is a 4.5-point favorite and this game presents a total of 211.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Tyrese Maxey prop to consider from this contest.


Best Tyrese Maxey Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Tyrse Maxey O 24.5 points (-125)

With Joel Embiid (knee) still sidelined, Maxey is a great investment for this over. The guard has played 11 games with Embiid inactive this season and in those contests, Maxey is leading the 76ers with 27.5 PPG. Paul George will be available tonight, but Maxey has scored at least 28 points in two of the three games he and George have been active for without Embiid.

Maxey leads Philadelphia with a 31.2% usage rate with Embiid off the court this season and while the Hornets rank 13th in defensive efficiency this season, they are decimated by injuries right now, with LaMelo Ball (calf), Miles Birdges (knee) and Grant Williams (knee) all out.

Sitting at 4-14, the 76ers can’t afford to drop this game to this depleted Charlotte club. Maxey should see huge minutes in this tight 4.5-point spread and he should surpass this 24.5-point scoring line.
