NBA 2022 Playoffs: Stat Points To A Big Game 2 For Tyrese Maxey

The 2022 NBA Playoffs continue tonight, with the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat doing battle in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

Across fifteen games without Joel Embiid this season (regular season + playoffs), Tyrese Maxey has averaged 23.4 PPG, 3.1 RPG and 4.8 APG, scoring over 21.5 points on 10 occasions.

With Embiid sidelined once again tonight, our predictive analytics model has the guard top scoring for the Sixers, with DimersBOT projecting Maxey for 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Game 1 of this series saw Tobias harris lead the scoring for the road team, but it was Maxey who certainly stepped up the most during the season, top scoring for Philly 8 times that Embiid missed.

One game in particular that stands out from recent times (especially when thinking of tonight's opponents being the Miami Heat) is this game where we pulled off a 28-5-4 stat line to lead his side to a big-time win without Embiid or James Harden.

After taking in all of the above stats and seeing DimersBOT's projection for Maxey tonight, it's time to look into how we can make some money on him scoring big.

Although our model has him finishing on 21 points, it's the fact that he is projected to be the team's top scorer that has us taking this first bet of him to score OVER 21.5 points.

Maxey scored 22+ in two thirds of his games without Joel Embiid this season, with six of them seeing him reach 25 or more!

With this imformation - plus the likelihood of the Heat focussing on Harris after his performance on Monday night - we're also going to bet on Maxey to score 25+ against the Heat tonight for an even bigger potential cash.
