Prop #1: Tyrese Maxey Under 6.5 assists
-145 at bet365
Tyrese Maxey leads the Philadelphia 76ers with 28.3 points and 6.6 assists per game. That said, Maxey’s assist numbers have fluctuated depending on whether or not Joel Embiid is in the lineup.
In 35 games with Embiid this season, Maxey averaged 7.5 apg, but that number dropped to 5.7 apg in 35 games without the high-scoring center.
The All-Star point guard has logged five assists or less in four of his last five games. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have allowed the eighth-fewest assists per game (25.3) in the NBA.

Prop #2: Goga Bitadze Over 4.5 rebounds
+100 at bet365
Goga Bitadze saw his playing time increase towards the end of the regular season, and his production ramped up with it. Orlando’s backup center grabbed 7+ boards in four of his last five contests, averaging 9.0 rebounds per game over that span.
The 76ers have struggled on the glass, especially when Embiid isn’t in the lineup. Philly is 22nd in the NBA in rebounds allowed per game (45.3), with that number ticking up to 47.0 over the last month.
Prop #3: Jalen Suggs Over 2.5 threes
+150 at bet365
Even without Embiid, the Sixers clog the paint on defense, which has led to them allowing 40.2 3-point attempts per game since the All-Star break — the third-highest number in the league.

Suggs has knocked down 2.6 threes per game…
