SMASH PLAY🔨
Tyrese Maxey O 33.5 PA
-102 FanDuel | 2u
Toronto has been getting KILLED by Guards lately
Smash Play Record: 22-9🔥
Like if tailing | Write up⬇️
Toronto has allowed the 6th most FGA to Guards L10 games, more specifically:
8th most at the run
4th most Paint-Non-RA
7th most Above-the-break-3
3rd most Pull up FGA
2nd highest effeciency ALLOWED in Transition
In other words: Ball dominant players Cook them
Maxey takes:
18th most Pull-Up FGA per game in NBA
10th most FGA within 10 feet among guards
12th most PPG in transition in NBA
Most importantly, after a weird dip, his usage and FGA are back up recently. Last 2 games he has had 32%+ usage% and 23+ FGA. When he has 30%+ and 20+ he has hit this in 9/11 games
As far as assists, as long as Joel is there and as hot as he is, Maxey will be the one feeding him. If Embiid doesn’t go off, Maxey hits this with points alone. If he does, we could get saved by a 10+ Tyrese assist game
Guards with 25% usage% and 30 minutes Vs Toronto
Jamal Murray: 20/6
Terry Rozier 22/7
Trae Young: 38/11
Trae Young: 35/17
Jalen Brunson: 22/8
Zach Lavine: 36/3
Tyrese Haliburton: 33/16
Damian Lillard: 37/13
Luka Doncic: 31/8
Tyrese Maxey: 34/7
Anthony Edwards: 26/1
Not all of these guys hit their line, but it shows a safe floor of ~30 PA and with his uptick in usage and his use in transition game specifically, I’m confident in that extra 4 PA. Classic high floor high ceiling Play that we need for a smash play
Nurse has been emphasizing to Maxey to keep being more decisive, especially as Embiid is getting more and more focus, opening up more for him.
Worth noting he did miss this line earlier this season, he only had 19% usage and Harris and Oubre combined for 46 points. Both of their usages/FGA lately have taken a big dip since that time of the season. It’s really just the Maxey/Embiid show right now and anyone who has watched Toronto and 76ers know, they just throw the house at Embiid and force someone else to beat them, no reason it isn’t Maxey
