The 76ers aim to end their recent skid against a frisky Nets squad on Saturday evening. Despite the team’s sluggish start, Tyrese Maxey has been impressive and is on his way to another All-Star selection.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Philadelphia is currently a seven-point favorite, with the game’s point total set at 216 points. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Maxey in this divisional clash.
Best Tyrese Maxey Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyrese Maxey Over 24.5 Points (-120)
Joel Embiid’s inability to stay in the lineup and Paul George’s failure to integrate himself into his new situation have led to Tyrese Maxey as the consistent primary offensive hub. Maxey is one of the quickest combo guards in the league. His speed is crippling on the perimeter, flying around to get clean attempts from distance. Maxey’s been around 37% from deep since November on over 190 attempts.
His finishing within the arc has been shaky and contributed to his 42% mark from the floor. That hasn’t affected his scoring much, as he’s dropped at least 25 points in three of his last five showings. Maxey has a fluorescent green light and needs to get buckets for this unit to stay afloat.
Brooklyn plays hard, but defense is optional with a D’Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas backcourt. Maxey should flourish and have a monster night.
