Maxey posted a team-high 29 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, four rebounds and three steals across 34 minutes in Monday's 116-111 loss to the Nuggets.
After erupting for 37 points -- his second-best total of the season -- in Saturday's loss to the Suns, Maxey took center stage for the 76ers once again Monday while Joel Embiid (calf) and James Harden (Achilles) were sidelined. Maxey came through with another efficient scoring line, and the three steals further burnished the overall value of his fantasy output. Maxey has been on a hot offensive run of late with 20-plus points in six straight games and at least five assists in five of those games, but it bears mentioning that Harden has been sidelined for all but one of those six contests. Embiid looks like a good bet to play Wednesday against the Mavericks, and Harden could also put an end to his four-game absence. If that's the case, Maxey's usage would take a significant hit.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Explodes for 37 points Saturday
Rotowire
Maxey contributed 37 points (14-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Suns.
Despite the fact the Sixers lost by 20 points, Maxey had one of his best performances of the season while registering his second-best scoring output of the campaign. The former Kentucky star has been outstanding in recent games and extended his streak of games with 20-plus points to five appearances, proving he can thrive as the team's third-best option on offense behind Joel Embiid and James Harden (Achilles) and ca step his game up if one of the two stars is missing. Maxey is averaging 23.0 points per game since the beginning of March.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Quality production sans Harden
Rotowire
Maxey totaled 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to Golden State.
Maxey continues to play well with Harden in and out of the lineup due to an Achilles issue and has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances. During that stretch, the third-year guard has averaged 21.8 points, 4.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 37.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Struggles after big second quarter
Rotowire
Maxey supplied 21 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-91 victory over the Bulls.
Maxey got hot in the second quarter with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field and 3-of-3 shooting from behind the arc before entering the half with 16 points, two assists and two rebounds. He was unable to carry that momentum into the second half, however, as he went just 2-of-9 for another five points over the final two quarters while the 76ers made short work of Chicago on the road. The point guard still finished second in the game in scoring with 21 points, despite his late struggles and has now broken the 20-point mark in three straight. Maxey has also knocked down at least four threes in three of his last five games and is shooting a very healthy 51.9 percent from beyond the arc in March.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Hits for 22 against Chicago
Rotowire
Maxey finished with 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one block over 46 minutes during Monday's 109-105 double-overtime loss to the Bulls.
The third-year guard has been locked in since moving back into the starting five at the beginning of March. Maxey has scored more than 20 points in eight of 11 games on the month, averaging 22.1 points, 3.4 assists, 3.4 threes and 2.8 boards over that stretch while shooting 56.1 percent from the floor and a dazzling 52.1 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Big performance in critical game
Rotowire
Maxey closed Saturday's 141-121 win over the Pacers with 31 points (12-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
Coming off a down game in Friday's win over Charlotte, Maxey made his tenth consecutive start Saturday. His 31 points tied Joel Embiid for the game's lead and marked his sixth 30-point performance of the season in what was a pivotal game for the 76ers and fantasy managers alike. Philadelphia now sits one game back of the Celtics for second place in the East, and the fantasy playoffs are in full swing. The 76ers have four games next week, and Maxey will need to play big minutes to keep their hopes of home-court advantage through at least two rounds of the playoffs alive.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Returns to form in win
Rotowire
Maxey closed Wednesday's 118-109 win over the Cavaliers with 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes.
After starting the season in the starting lineup, Maxey had been mostly relegated to sixth-man duties after missing time in November and December. He has since been inserted back into the starting lineup over the last eight games and has averaged 22.1 points per contest. Philadelphia will need Maxey to continue to produce at a high level as they look to challenge for a top two seed in the Eastern Conference.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Stays hot from three
Rotowire
Maxey recorded 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 147-143 victory over Indiana.
For the first time this season, Maxey has scored at least 20 points in five straight games. The second-year guard has been drilling threes, as he has made 19 over the last five games at a 57.8 percent clip. Riding his hot shooting, Maxey has been a top-60 player in nine-category leagues over the last two weeks. However, he didn't produce in many other areas beyond the scoring and three-pointers columns Monday, and he failed to grab a rebound for the third time this season.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Leads way in scoring column
Rotowire
Maxey accumulated 27 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-96 victory over the Heat.
With Joel Embiid (foot) sitting out, Maxey cracked the starting five for the first time since Jan. 21 and made his presence felt, leading the way in scoring while playing alongside James Harden (23 points, five assists). Embiid will most likely return to action for the second half of the back-to-back set Thursday against the Mavericks, so expect Maxey to head back to the bench for that contest and see a corresponding drop in both minutes and production.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Maxey will join the first unit for Wednesday's matchup with the Heat.
Maxey will draw the spot start with Joel Embiid (foot) sidelined for the contest. It will be his first appearance in the starting lineup since Jan. 21. In his last seven starts, Maxey has averaged 21.7 points, 4.1 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 34.6 minutes.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Pops for 23 off bench
Rotowire
Maxey fouled out of Monday's 101-99 loss to the Heat after recording 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 27 minutes off the bench.
He poured in 19 of his 23 points after halftime as the 76ers tried to rally from an eight-point deficit at intermission, and they might have pulled it off had Maxey not left the game with 3:21 left in the fourth quarter. The third-year guard has topped 20 points three times in the last seven games as Philly's sixth man, averaging 18.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 boards, 2.1 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Erupts for 26 points
Rotowire
Maxey closed Monday's 123-104 victory over the Rockets with 26 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and two steals over 35 minutes.
Maxey's production has been all over the place lately, but some extra playing time opened up Monday with P.J. Tucker (calf) exiting early, and the third-year guard took full advantage. On top of Maxey's strong shooting effort, head coach Doc Rivers has been praising the 22-year-old's improved defensive of late. Maxey looks poised to retain a heavy-minute role even though he's now coming off the bench.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Solid night in win
Rotowire
Maxey totaled 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 119-108 victory over New York.
Maxey put up another solid performance Friday night amid a bit of a down stretch. He now has two games over 25 points and two games in single-digit scoring over his last six contests. The third-year pro has little fantasy value outside of his scoring ability and is a low-end fantasy option for managers. However, Maxey is always a threat to get hot with a strong scoring performance in any game.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Breaks out of slump
Rotowire
Maxey amassed 25 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 137-125 win over San Antonio.
An outburst from Maxey was long overdue. In his previous three contests, Maxey averaged a mere 10.3 points on 32 percent shooting. Unless the 76ers make an unlikely splash at the trade deadline, Friday's production is something you should see quite a bit down the stretch as Maxey continues to benefit from more usage as part of the second unit.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Quiet in win over Orlando
Rotowire
Maxey finished with 10 points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 105-94 victory over the Magic.
While the Sixers avenged their loss to the Magic on Monday, Maxey had another quiet outing, despite seeing 31 minutes of action. The 2020 first-rounder hit just 2-of-11 shots and did not provide fantasy managers with much in terms of non-scoring stats. Over his last three games, Maxey has totaled only 31 points, five rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Prior to that three-game sample, Maxey had averaged 21.5 points and 3.3 assists in his previous 10 games (Jan. 6 to Jan. 25).

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Team-high 27 points off bench
Rotowire
Maxey supplied 27 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 137-133 victory over Brooklyn.
Maxey led the offensive charge for Philadelphia despite coming off the bench, racking up 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the floor, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. He went just 2-of-6 after the break while making all five of his free-throw attempts to reach a team-high 27 points on the night. The point guard also knocked down a team-high six three-pointers in the contest and has broken the 25-point mark in back-to-back games.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: On bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Maxey is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Maxey will head to the bench with James Harden and De'Anthony Melton in the backcourt. Maxey, the former Kentucky standout, scored 32 points Saturday against the Kings as a starter, but he's averaging 14.8 points per game in five outings off the bench.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Leads way while Harden, Embiid sit
Rotowire
Maxey posted 32 points (12-29 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists and three rebounds across 41 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 victory over Sacramento.
Maxey started at point guard in place of James Harden (foot) and had free reign to put up plenty of shots while Harden and co-star Joel Embiid (foot) sat out. Though he came through with lofty points and assists totals, Maxey's erratic shooting from the field took an even bigger fantasy performance off the table. Assuming Harden is back in action Wednesday against the Nets, Maxey will likely shift back to the second unit, where the 76ers seem to prefer to let him cook while the defensive-minded De'Anthony Melton handles a lower-usage role on the wing alongside Philadelphia's two stars.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Starts against Sacramento
Rotowire
Maxey is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Maxey jumps to the starting lineup with James Harden (foot) ruled out, and he should have a prominent role on offense since Joel Embiid (foot) is also sidelined. The former Kentucky standout is averaging 22.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game across 21 starts this season.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Sparks rally from bench
Rotowire
Maxey ended Tuesday's 120-110 victory over the Clippers with 22 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes.
Maxey proved essential in the second half by fending off the Clippers, who chipped away at the Sixers' first-half lead. Maxey's lengthy absence allowed De'Anthony Melton to slip into the starting lineup, but based on the recent metrics, Maxey may find himself back in the starting five alongside James Harden soon.
