Now, let’s dive into our top player prop bets for the Magic vs. 76ers, using odds from DraftKings Pick6.

Top Player Props for Magic vs. 76ers

Orlando’s Paolo Banchero OVER 13.5 Assists & Rebounds

Paolo Banchero is a dominant rebounder for the Magic, averaging 8.4 rebounds per game. That places him 17th across the NBA.

The former Duke standout is also a reliable playmaker for a frontcourt player, averaging 5.2 assists per game. Here’s how Banchero performed in his past three matchups:

• 10 rebounds and 11 assists (for 21 total points) against the Celtics
• 9 rebounds and 7 assists (16 total points) against the Bulls
• 8 rebounds and 6 assists (14 total points) against the Timberwolves

In their most recent matchup against the 76ers, Banchero grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out seven assists, handily beating this prop total.

Philadelphia’s Paul George OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made

Joel Embiid is unavailable for the 76ers following last week’s appendectomy. Tyrese Maxey (28.3 ppg) and Embiid (26.9 ppg) lead Philadelphia in scoring, but Paul George (17.3 ppg) will need to elevate his play in the star big man’s absence.

George scores most of his points from beyond the arc. His team-leading 39.2% shooting from three-point range bears that out. George averages 2.7 three-pointers per game, but that average jumped to 3.4 across the 10 games he has played since returning from a suspension related to taking improper medication.

George has hit more than this number of three-pointers in seven straight games following his return, and he has cleared this prop mark in eight of his past 10 outings.

Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey UNDER 30.5 Points

Going up against one of the NBA’s most explosive scorers can feel intimidating, but Maxey’s recent performance trends make this bet a logical choice. Tyrese Maxey has finished below this point total in eight of his past 10 matchups.

With Embiid sidelined, the burden of scoring will fall squarely on Maxey’s shoulders, and Orlando’s defensive game plan will focus on limiting him as the team’s primary scoring threat. Maxey, who averages 28.3 ppg, posted 29 points in their most recent game against the Magic.

We advise backing the UNDER here, but our official wager has already been placed at DraftKings Pick6:

• Paolo Banchero OVER 13.5 combined assists and rebounds
• Paul George OVER 2.5 three-pointers made
• Wager: $50 to win $156 (with a 30% NBA Winnings Boost)

Wishing you the best of luck with all of your wagers this evening!
