The Philadelphia 76ers will aim to end their six-game losing streak when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. With Joel Embiid sidelined and Paul George (groin) considered questionable to play, Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the centerpiece of Philadelphia’s offense.
As the Sixers continue to battle injuries, Maxey’s production remains critical to their success against one of the Western Conference’s toughest opponents.
Here’s the featured Maxey prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook to consider for this matchup.
Best Tyrese Maxey Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 35.5 Points + Assists (-110)
Maxey has stepped up as the primary option for the short-handed 76ers. Over his last seven games, he has averaged 31.0 points and 7.0 assists, consistently delivering in key moments. His lowest-scoring performance during this stretch was 28 points against the Pacers, and he’s scored 29 or more in each of the other six games.
Philadelphia continues to face adversity with injuries, leaving Maxey as the centerpiece of its attack. The Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic, will provide a challenge, but Denver allows opposing guards plenty of opportunities to shine. Maxey’s role as both a scorer and facilitator ensures he’ll have the volume to push past this total for the 76ers to compete.
In Philadelphia’s last outing, Maxey scored 26 points and dished out eight assists in a loss to Milwaukee. Despite the Sixers’ struggles, he has remained their most consistent offensive weapon, navigating through a depleted lineup with poise.
For the Nuggets, Jokic leads a balanced offense, but their defense will be tested by Maxey’s quickness and shooting touch. Denver has been strong at home, yet this matchup allows Maxey to exploit mismatches in the backcourt.
