Now, let’s get to our top player prop bets for Magic vs. 76ers, using lines from DraftKings Pick6.
Top Player Props for Magic vs. 76ers
Orlando’s Paolo Banchero OVER 13.5 Assists & Rebounds
Paolo Banchero is a rebounding machine for the Magic, pulling down 8.4 boards per game. That ranks him 17th in the NBA.
The Duke product is also a solid distributor for a big man, with 5.2 assists per game. Here’s what Banchero has done over his last three games:
- 10 rebounds, 11 assists (21) vs. Celtics
- 9 rebounds, 7 assists (16) vs. Bulls
- 8 rebounds, 6 assists (14) vs. T’Wolves
In the last meeting with the 76ers, Banchero pulled down 11 boards and dished out seven dimes, crushing this number in the process.
Philadelphia’s Paul George OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made
Joel Embiid is out for the 76ers after last week’s appendectomy. Tyrese Maxey (28.3 ppg) and Embiid (26.9 ppg) pace Philly in scoring, but Paul George (17.3 ppg) will need to step up in the big man’s absence.
George does much of his damage from long range. His team-high 39.2% shooting from beyond the arc is a testament to that. George averages 2.7 treys per game, but that number rose to 3.4 in the 10 games he’s played since returning from a suspension for taking improper medication.
George eclipsed this number of threes in seven consecutive games after his return, and he’s gone OVER in eight of the last 10 games.
Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey UNDER 30.5 Points
It’s a little daunting going against one of the NBA’s most explosive scorers, but his recent form suggests that it’s warranted. Tyrese Maxey has gone UNDER this total in eight of his last 10 games.
With Embiid out, the pressure to score will fall on Maxey’s shoulders, and Orlando’s defense will be designed to stop him as the primary scoring threat. Maxey, who averages 28.3 ppg, finished with 29 in the last game against the Magic.
We recommend taking the UNDER here, but our official pick has already been made at DraftKings Pick6:
- Paolo Banchero MORE 13.5 AST+REB
- Paul George MORE 2.5 3PM
- Bet: $50 to win $156 (with 30% NBA Winnings Boost)
Good luck with all of your bets tonight!
