3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Raptors vs. Sixers (Tyrese Maxey on Fire in Playoffs)
By Matt De Saro
The Philadelphia 76ers made their presence in the playoffs known after crushing the Toronto Raptors by 20 points in game one.
The Raptors will try to bounce back tonight before they go down 0-2. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Raptors vs. Sixers
- Joel Embiid OVER 32.5 Points (-130)
- OG Anunoby OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds
- Tyrese Maxey OVER 2.5 Threes Made (+105)
Joel Embiid OVER 32.5 Points (-130)
Joel Embiid had a very quiet game one as we watched Tyrese Maxey take over and go nuts on offense.
In 37 minutes, Embiid dropped 19 on the Raptors with 15 rebounds and four assists. For starters, this blip doesn’t worry me at all. The Sixers were in full control of this game and Embiid didn’t need to go for 30-plus. He still chipped in 15 boards and went 9-for-11 from the line.
I think that the Raptors will adjust their defense to limit Maxey and others tonight. This will leave the door open for Embiid to leave his mark on this series.
OG Anunoby OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds
OG Anunoby shined in Game 1 of the series with 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from downtown. Toronto will likely take the court tonight without Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr., which means Anunoby will be once again relied on to step up and, I for one, think he does so again.
He averages 17.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game and is even slightly better on the road. Win or lose, Anunoby will be a big part of the Raptors' offense tonight.

Tyrese Maxey OVER 2.5 Threes Made (+105)
Maxey has become one of my favorite players in the NBA since the All-Star Break. I am sure Sixer fans feel the same after he’s been a huge part of the Sixers' run to the playoffs. Maxey didn’t take his foot off the gas once the playoff started and ran wild on the Raptors on Saturday.
Maxey scored 38 points in that game off 5-of-8 shooting from downtown. He continues to be a massive weapon from behind the arc and I’ve had good luck riding him in key spots.
