Best Magic vs 76ers props

Goga Bitadze	Over 4.5 rebounds	+100

Prop #1: Tyrese Maxey Under 6.5 assists

-145 at bet365

Tyrese Maxey leads the Philadelphia 76ers with 28.3 points and 6.6 assists per game. That said, Maxey's assist numbers have fluctuated depending on whether or not Joel Embiid is in the lineup.

In 35 games with Embiid this season, Maxey averaged 7.5 apg, but that number dropped to 5.7 apg in 35 games without the high-scoring center.

The All-Star point guard has logged five assists or less in four of his last five games. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have allowed the eighth-fewest assists per game (25.3) in the NBA.

Prop #2: Goga Bitadze Over 4.5 rebounds

+100 at bet365

Goga Bitadze saw his playing time increase towards the end of the regular season, and his production ramped up with it. Orlando's backup center grabbed 7+ boards in four of his last five contests, averaging 9.0 rebounds per game over that span.

The 76ers have struggled on the glass, especially when Embiid isn't in the lineup. Philly is 22nd in the NBA in rebounds allowed per game (45.3), with that number ticking up to 47.0 over the last month.

Prop #3: Jalen Suggs Over 2.5 threes

+150 at bet365

Even without Embiid, the Sixers clog the paint on defense, which has led to them allowing 40.2 3-point attempts per game since the All-Star break — the third-highest number in the league.

The Magic will have to utilize their outside shooting to get their offense going, and Jalen Suggs has been their most reliable option from the arc.

Suggs has knocked down 2.6 threes per game at a 36.4% clip over his last 20 contests. He's coming off a game where he drained seven shots from deep, and he has eclipsed 2.5 threes in five of his last six games.
