Tyrese Maxey is carrying the 76ers, averaging 34 points across three games, clearing the Over twice, and looks well on his way to an All-Star appearance if he can keep up the impressive play. Maxey will face the lowly Wizards tonight and will keep the run going.

The Philadelphia 76ers have played at the 10th-slowest pace in the league since the start of last season, which ought to reduce plays for the Washington Wizards.. The Wizards check in as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA playing at home since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).

The Miami Heat have played at the 3rd-most lethargic tempo in the league since the start of last season.. The Miami Heat rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league while playing at home since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).. This year when they are playing at home, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 2.6 free throws per game (3rd-lowest in the NBA) against the Charlotte Hornets, finding it difficult to draw fouls.

The Knicks held Giannis Antetokounmpo to 26 PPG across three meetings last season. New York ranks fifth in defensive rating in the early going. That makes sense, considering Mike Brown is a coach who historically prioritizes defense. Giannis has cashed the Under in points once this season in three games, and it will happen again here.

I don't think it's smart to fade Giannis right now as he's a man on a mission. He's averaging 36 points per game, and the Bucks will need every bit of his scoring if they want to pull off the upset as small home underdogs.

Stephen Curry is shooting 45% from downtown so far, averaging 5.3 makes on 11.7 attempts per contest. Steph has cashed the Over in triples in two of his last three appearances. Despite coming up short, he still drained four on Monday against the Grizzlies, too, and tonight presents an opportunity for Curry to get hot from deep.

Both teams have done a great job spacing the floor. Golden State leads the Association in made three-pointers per game at 17.5, while Los Angeles is 12th at 14 per game. The Warriors rank seventh in offensive rating at 119.9, and the Clippers rank eighth at 119. I expect a high-scoring contest tonight.
