Saddiq Bey has thrived in his new role as temporary starter with Jaylen Johnson injured. Over his past two games he has scored 17 and 21 points. Furthermore, as a reserve he already has a big game under his belt against Philadelphia with 17 points. Take his over.
The departure of James Harden has provided a significant windfall for Tyrese Maxey. He is averaging 26.9 points on 20.2 shot attempts per game. He is jacking up a lot more shots, but his efficiency has not suffered with him shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from behind the arc. Entering this matchup with the Hawks, he has scored at least 26 points in five of his last six games. The Hawks have played at the third-fastest pace and they have the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league, so look for Maxey to surpass that threshold again.
Love this spot for Tobias Harris facing a Hawks team that has just been extremely generous to opposing forwards this season. Atlanta is a very good offensive team that plays at a fast pace (similar to Indiana) however they play almost no defense and as a result create a lot of high scoring environments. Atlanta's D has really struggled since losing Jalen Johnson and Harris should get plenty of opportunities to stuff the stat sheet. The Sixers without James Harden have been leaning heavily on their big 3 of Embiid, Maxey, and Harris who have all performed well this season.
