Maxey has put together an amazing 2025-26 season, averaging 28.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
This is a great matchup for Maxey, as the Magic rank 25th in the NBA in points per game allowed to opposing point guards, and with Joel Embiid out \u2013 Maxey is going to need to step up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This season, Maxey averaged over 28 points per game when playing without the former league MVP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In his matchups with Orlando, Maxey scored 43, 20 and 29 points. He wasn\u2019t as effective scoring the ball after returning from a finger injury, but Maxey is taking over 21 shots per game, giving him a really solid floor when it comes to any scoring prop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magic vs. 76ers Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s a bold prediction that I have for this year\u2019s play-in tournament, it\u2019s that Orlando won\u2019t make the final playoff field.<\/p>\n
The Magic came into the season with sky-high expectations that were crushed due to injury, but even with most of their team healthy at times, Orlando missed the mark as a potential contender.<\/p>\n
The Magic finished the regular season 18th in offensive rating, 13th in defensive rating and 25th in effective field goal percentage. Even though Orlando won five of six games to close the regular season, the loss to Boston \u2013 with the No. 7 seed on the line \u2013 on Sunday encapsulated its season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An extremely short-handed Boston team upset the Magic (who were on the road), forcing them to play a road game on Wednesday. Orlando is just 18-21 against the spread on the road this season, and I am not sold on this team having the offensive chemistry to upset Philly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The loss of Embiid is huge for the Sixers, but they had a better offensive rating than Orlando in the regular season and finished just one spot behind the Magic in net rating. Philly also was several games over .500 at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both of these teams have flaws \u2013 a lot of Philly\u2019s come on the defensive end \u2013 but Tyrese Maxey is the best player in this game and may be able to take it over for the 76ers. The Magic allowed over 26 points per game to opposing point guards in the regular season (sixth-worst in the NBA), which doesn\u2019t bode well for them on the road on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
