Raptors vs. 76ers prop bets: Bet on Tyrese Maxey to torch Toronto
The Toronto Raptors look to build off a big homestand when they take on the 76ers in Philadelphia tonight.
The pregame narrative: Toronto has won three straight but stopping Philadelphia won’t be easy. Tyrese Maxey has torched the Raptors time and time again and he’s poised for another huge game. We’re also backing OG Anunoby amid his scoring spree.
NBA odds as of 10:23 a.m. on 03/31/2023.
Raptors vs. 76ers prop bets
Best Bet: Maxey over 20.5 points (-106)
It wouldn’t be hyperbolic to call Maxey a Raptor killer three years into his career.
The 22-year-old played a big role in bouncing Toronto from the playoffs last season, averaging 21.3 points over six games while clearing this line three times. He kept that momentum rolling into this campaign, dropping 31 and 44 points in his two appearances against the Raptors.
Maxey doesn’t just fill the basket against Toronto, though.
Philadelphia’s shooting guard has gone over this total in 13 of his 16 games playing this month, including each of his past seven. Maxey is averaging 23.3 points on 55.1% shooting in that span. Simply put, the man is on fire.
We’re also not worried about Toronto’s recent defensive play slowing him down, either.
The Raptors were lights out during their homestand and held their last three opponents to an average of 97.6 points per game. But it’s no secret this team struggles on the road, with a 12-24 record and a 114.5 defensive rating (15th) away from Scotiabank Arena.
Key stat: Maxey is averaging 26.1 points over his past seven games.
Quick picks
Maxey over 2.5 threes (+100): We’re sticking with Maxey for another prop bet. He’s gone over this total in 11 of 16 games in March and is shooting an insane 51.3% from deep in that span.
Maxey has recorded four-plus threes in four of his past five games and cashed in seven 3-pointers against the Phoenix Suns last week.
But that wasn’t even his season high in 3-pointers made. That would be against the Raptors in October when he went 9 of 12 from deep. He also cleared this total in his other appearance against Toronto.
Anunoby over 15.5 points (-122): Anunoby’s enjoyed a nice return to form this month, averaging 18.9 points on 56.8% shooting while clearing this total in nine of 13 games.
He’s posted back-to-back games with 22-plus points and is a combined 8 for 19 from 3-point land in those contests.
Expect him to continue chugging tonight.
