3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Raptors vs. Sixers (Tyrese Maxey Will Keep Hitting From Deep)
By Peter Dewey
The Toronto Raptors will be without Fred VanVleet on Sunday when they match up with the Philadelphia 76ers.
James Harden, Joel Embiid and company are going to put Toronto in a tough spot, but is there more value on some props than betting on a side in this game?
Here are my three favorites via WynnBET Sportsbook:
Best NBA Prop Bets for Raptors vs. Sixers
- Pascal Siakam to Record a Double-Double (+170)
- Tyrese Maxey to Hit 2+ 3-Pointers (-164)
- James Harden to Hit 3+ 3-Pointers (-120)
Pascal Siakam to Record a Double-Double (+170)
Pascal Siakam is going to have an even bigger role against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday with VanVleet out for this matchup.
The Raptors star forward has double-doubled in three of his last five games, and he’s averaging 21.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season.
Siakam can stuff the stat sheet in several ways, and I think he sees a spike in usage that could help him get this with assists (like he did on March 11) or rebounds.
Tyrese Maxey to Hit 2+ 3-Pointers (-164)
Tyrese Maxey has hit two or more 3-pointers in nine of his last 11 games, and he’s going to get plenty of opportunities to do it again playing Toronto.
The Raptors allow 12.3 3-pointers per game this season, and Maxey is shooting over 48% from deep over his last 11 games.
This is a perfect spot for him to stay hot.
James Harden to Hit 3+ 3-Pointers (-120)
In similar reasoning as the Maxey prop, James Harden has hit three or more from deep in three of his last five games, but more importantly he is taking over seven 3-pointers per game during that stretch.
The Raptors have a lot of length to throw at Harden, but I think he’s starting to find his groove in Philadelphia, scoring 21 or more points in four straight.
