The 76ers are on a roll in large part due to Tyrese Maxey’s play. The team is on a four-game winning streak entering tonight’s matchup against the Nuggets.
Maxey has scored at least 30 points in three straight games and at least 28 points in 12 straight. One of those games was against the Nuggets on Jan. 21. Denver won that matchup and is favored again tonight.
Philadelphia is missing a ton of key players, including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Andre Drummond and Caleb Martin. Maxey will be available and the primary scorer yet again.
The 76ers are 9.5-point underdogs at home and the game total is set at 234 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below, I have featured my favorite Maxey prop bets to consider from this contest.
Best Tyrese Maxey Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyrese Maxey under 31.5 points (-120)
Maxey is the main reason why the 76ers are staying somewhat afloat in the Eastern Conference. They’re the 11th seed but can sneak into the play-in tournament soon.
His scoring prowess has many calling him an All-Star snub this season. He’s topped 30 points in three straight and 28 points in 12 straight. It’s an impressive streak, but it’s not enough to bet the over tonight.
Maxey has only scored over 31.5 points twice during this 12-game stretch and 11 times in 39 games this year. The recent volume will likely make this another close call, but ultimately Maxey should fall under the line tonight.
Don’t tail this bet expecting an sweat-free game. Maxey will likely post close to 30 points again, and keep bettors on the edge of their seats. Don’t fret, though, the Nuggets should limit Maxey to under his 31.5 points line. Denver held Maxey to 28 points earlier this month.
