WIN
76ers vs. Timberwolves
Tyrese Maxey Over 29.5 Points
ANALYSIS
With both Joel Embiid (knee/shin) and Paul George (suspension) officially ruled out, Maxey’s elite 34.2% usage rate is bolstered by a total offensive vacuum, supported by his league-leading 38.6 minutes per game. He faces a Minnesota defense missing its primary rim protector, Rudy Gobert (suspension), while playing on a back-to-back, which should significantly inflate Maxey's field goal volume above his 22.4 attempt projection.
OUTCOME
Philadelphia 76ers 135 - Minnesota Timberwolves 108
Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points in the game on February 22, 2026, which is well above the prop line of 29.5. He shot 16-of-28 from the field and added 8 assists.
