Tyrese Maxey is operating as Philadelphia's third option behind Joel Embiid and James Harden, ahead of Tobias Harris. The Heat are a tough matchup but they allow 20.7 points against point guards this season, including 20.6 points in their last seven games.
Maxey is averaging 18.0 points in 10 games against teams in the Top 5 in defense this season, including 20.0 points in two games against the Heat and he's scored at least 18 points in five straight games. While Maxey's efficiency will eventually regress, he's proven to be a better fit alongside Harden than many expected and this is a relatively low number considering the video game numbers he's averaging as of late.
NBA prop pick: Tyrese Maxey Over 17.5 points
