Availability
Maxey passed Allen Iverson for the most made three-pointers in 76ers history Thursday, pushing his career total to 887 with five on the night. He did most of the damage early — 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting with three triples in the first quarter alone — finishing with 28 points (9-of-26 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 11 assists, five steals, four rebounds, and one block.

The shooting cooled off significantly after that first quarter, but the double-double and five steals kept the overall line firmly in fantasy-worthy territory.
Tyrese Maxey filled the stat sheet for the 76ers Saturday night, dishing out seven assists, recording five steals, grabbing three rebounds, and scoring a team-high 27 points (9-23 FG, 2-11 3PT, 7-8 FT) in a 126-111 loss to the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Maxey continues an impactful stretch on the offensive end of the floor, scoring 27 or more points in each of the two games since returning from the all-star break. The guard continues to provide fantasy managers with an explosive option while leading an inconsistent Philadelphia lineup for head coach Nick Nurse, averaging 28.9 points, 2.0 steals, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 28.4% so far this season.
Maxey needed 23 field goal attempts to reach 28 points Thursday but went perfect from the line on eight tries to lead Philadelphia in scoring with Joel Embiid sidelined. He shot 8-of-23 overall and 4-of-11 from three-point range while adding three rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in the loss to Atlanta.
Fantasy Impact
The free-throw efficiency salvaged what would've been a rougher scoring night given the 34.8 percent field goal percentage. Maxey shouldered the primary scoring load in Embiid's absence. Philadelphia faces a back-to-back weekend with games against the Pelicans on Saturday and Timberwolves on Sunday.
Maxey hit the 30-point mark for the first time since January 29 against the Kings, finishing Monday's 135-118 loss with 30 points on 10-of-21 shooting. He went perfect from the line on eight attempts and added one rebound, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
The performance marked his 22nd game this season reaching 30 points. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Maxey carried the scoring load, but Philadelphia fell behind during the third quarter in the final game of their road trip. The 76ers return home Wednesday to face the Knicks in their last game before the All-Star break.
Tyrese Maxey flirted with a triple-double for the 76ers Saturday night, dishing out six assists, grabbing nine rebounds, and scoring 29 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3PT, 10-11 FT) while also recording one steal in a 109-103 win over the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Maxey continues an impactful stretch on the offensive end of the floor, dishing out three or more assists and scoring 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The guard continues to reward fantasy managers with explosive output as part of a high-octane Philadelphia starting five, averaging 28.8 points, 2.0 steals, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 28.0% so far this season.
