Pickswise was nice enough to give me the opportunity to write my plays up for you all. For those of you who don’t know me, they refer to me as JutPicks on Twitter. I post all my plays with brief writeups every day. Now I get to write even more with no character limit!
I pride myself in being as transparent as they come. My NBA record from last season and this season are listed in my bio alongside my MLB record. Without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite play for Friday.
Tyrese Maxey (76ers) over 16.5 points (-115)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The 2-year pro has shined since James Harden came to Philly. He is averaging over 24 points per game since the trade and continues to get open looks from three-point range with the attention that Harden gets off the dribble.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a tough matchup in general but have been exposed to scoring guards. Personally, I backed Rozier against the Cavaliers on Wednesday and he scored 29 points in 33 minutes. I expect Isaac Okoro to matchup against Harden, which will leave Darius Garland to defend Maxey.
Maxey is averaging over 17 points per game this season and that will continue to climb with the acquisition of Harden.
