    • Tyrese Maxey tallies 25 points, seven assists
      Tyrese Maxey finished Thursday’s Game 3 win over the Knicks with 25 points (9-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 33 and 35 points in the series’ first two games, Maxey did not shoot the ball as well in Game 3. However, the winner of the NBA’s Most Improved Player award managed turnovers better than he did in the two losses in New York. Maxey committed just one turnover in Game 3 after tallying seven in Games 1 (three) and two (four). Even if the field-goal percentage isn’t always where it should be, Maxey is talented enough to compensate for that with increased production in other areas. Philadelphia will look to even the series at two games apiece on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:37 pm
       
    • Drains four threes Wednesday
      Dort racked up 15 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 win over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren carried the Thunder to a blowout win in Game 2 of the series, but Dort made his presence felt Wednesday and was a menace from beyond the arc. Dort should remain a capable contributor as the series heads to New Orleans for Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:05 am
       
    • Boosts offense in loss
      White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the first round, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami.

    • Rudy Gobert tallies 18 points, full stat line
      Rudy Gobert accumulated 18 points (6-of-8 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one blocked shot in 39 minutes in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over the Suns.

      Advice: Minnesota has a 2-0 series lead, and Gobert’s consistent production is one of the reasons why. After tallying 14 points and 16 rebounds in Game 1, the Stifle Tower scored 18 on Tuesday with a full stat line. Gobert had gotten what he wanted offensively, and his work at the foul line was the bonus. After shooting 6-of-7 from the line on Saturday, he duplicated that feat in Game 2. Gobert’s production in Game 2 helped the Timberwolves compensate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ off night, as he finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 24 foul-plagued minutes. Game 3 of the series is on Friday night in Phoenix. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:42 pm
       
    • Named Most Improved Player
      Maxey was named the 2023-24 Most Improved Player on Tuesday.

      Advice: Maxey enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023-24 after taking over the lead ball-handler role due to the departure of James Harden from Philadelphia. Maxey was able to improve his season averages of 20.3 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 33.6 minutes from 2022-23 to 25.9 points, 6.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 37.5 minutes in 2023-24. While the 23-year-old's shooting splits decreased from 48.1/43.4/84.5 to 45.0/37.3/86.8, his jump as a playmaker and volume scorer helped him form one of the NBA's most dynamic duos alongside Joel Embiid.

    • Tyrese Maxey wins Most Improved Player award
      Tyrese Maxey was named the winner of the George Mikan Trophy, emblematic of the NBA’s Most Improved Player.

      Advice: There is no surprise here, as Maxey jumped from a solid supplementary option to a bonafide star in his fourth NBA season. Earning his first All-Star Game appearance, the 76ers guard averaged 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.0 3-pointers per game, shooting 45.0% from the field, 37.3% from three, and 86.8% from the foul line. Maxey is the second 76ers player to win the award, joining Dana Barros (1994-95). Chicago’s Coby White finished second in the voting, with Houston’s Alperen Sengun coming in third.

    • Records 35/10 double-double in loss
      Maxey notched 35 points (12-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Maxey scored 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and was the primary catalyst in a massive rally that erased the Knicks' lead. His three-pointer with 1:09 remaining appeared to seal a Game 2 win for the Sixers, but New York's defense turned the tables in the end. Although Joel Embiid is rounding back into form, Maxey's production will be essential to get the team back into the series. The Maxey-Embiid duo also needs help from the rest of the supporting cast, who scored only 32 points in the loss. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:22 am
       
    • Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 35 points in Game 2
      Tyrese Maxey shot 12-of-22 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Monday’s 104-101 loss to the Knicks, amassing 35 points, nine rebounds, 10 assists, and five 3-pointers in 44 minutes.

      Advice: A game-time decision for Game 2 due to an illness, Maxey made his first three shots (all 3-pointers). While he did commit four turnovers, the last of which led to Donte DiVincenzo’s game-winning three with 13.1 seconds remaining, the 76ers’ point guard had a good night overall. Unfortunately for Philadelphia, the efforts of Maxey and Embiid weren’t enough on a night when no other 76ers player scored more than ten points (Tobias Harris). They’ll look to rebound on Thursday when the series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3. Rotoworld Monday, 8:02 pm
       
    • Haynes: Tyrese Maxey will play in Game 2 Monday
      Tyrese Maxey (illness) will play in Game 2 against the Knicks on Monday, per Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and TNT.

      Advice: Maxey was added to the injury report Monday morning, but this illness will not keep him out of the lineup for Game 2. He will continue to play big minutes as Philly looks to steal a game on the road before heading home for Game 3. Rotoworld Monday, 3:57 pm
