Tyrese Maxey's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey finished with 25 points in Thursday's much-needed victory over the Knicks. He added seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals. With Joel Embiid dropping a game-high 50 points, Maxey still got his scoring chances. Granted, it was his worst game of the series. However, his efforts were still good enough for DFS managers. With the Sixers hoping to tie up the series on Sunday, fantasy participants should expect the 23-year-old to see plenty of minutes and remain heavily involved on both sides of the floor.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) shed his questionable designation to suit up for Monday's postseason meeting with the Knicks. After scoring 33 points in Game 1, Maxey played even better in this one, scoring 35 points and adding 10 assists and nine rebounds. The 23-year-old had a lower DFS rostering cost entering Game 2, at least compared to some of the other potent guards on the slate. However, he certainly produced well beyond expectations. With the Sixers down two games to New York, the series will head back to Philly for Game 3 on Thursday night. Expect Maxey to continue to play heavy minutes and get a bulk of the scoring chances.

According to TNT's Chris Hayes, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) will play on Monday night versus the Knicks. He's under the weather and didn't participate in shootaround on Monday afternoon. While fantasy managers are happy Maxey will be out there, especially after a 33-point performance in Game 1 on Saturday, his DFS potential isn't as high as usual because of the illness.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) remains questionable for Monday's meeting with the Knicks. Maxey missed shootaround on Tuesday afternoon because of an illness, with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reporting he's now considered a game-time decision for Game 2. The 23-year-old is coming off a big performance, amassing 33 points in the Game 1 loss to New York. It would be surprising if he weren't out there for the postseason clash. However, if Maxey isn't available, Buddy Hield, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Nicolas Batum should benefit the most.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) was not at Monday's morning shootaround, and he's been downgraded to questionable to play in Game 2 against the New York Knicks. After logging a game-high 33 points in 41 minutes in Saturday's Game 1 loss, Maxey is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. If the All-Star guard doesn't suit up, Philly's offense would rely on Joel Embiid (knee) for the bulk of the scoring and playmaking. Based on his usage in the first game of this first-round series, Nicolas Batum would appear to be the most likely candidate to enter the starting lineup after leading the reserves in minutes (25) on Saturday. If head coach Nick Nurse opts to go small, however, it's worth noting Cameron Payne averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers in eight regular-season games for the Sixers without Maxey.
