NBA Player Props for Friday, January 24
- Tyrese Maxey
- Jerami Grant
- Jarrett Allen
Tyrese Maxey Under 6.5 Assists (-140)
Cavaliers vs 76ers, 7:00 p.m. ET
Joel Embiid is still out, so we're back to my favorite bet. We're 11-for-12 on this prop.
Tyrese Maxey's assist rate has dropped by 1.1% with Embiid on the bench. He's averaged 5.8 assists in 24 games without Embiid. With Paul George on the floor, Maxey's assist rate has fallen by 4.1%.
He did spike a 10-assist game last time out, but that came against the team who has allowed the most assists per game (Denver).
Cleveland is 11th in assists allowed and 9th in opponent assisted field goal rate.
The Cavaliers have slipped in defensive rating this month with Evan Mobley sidelined, but they've also fallen outside the top 10 in pace.
Philly's team total is in line with their season average. Maxey could have some success in the scoring department, but I'm expecting him to struggle with assists again.
Pick: Tyrese Maxey Under 6.5 Assists (-140)
