Tyrese Maxey's production is undeniable but his efficiency hasn't been the same since Joel Embiid went down to injury. That trend is especially true from beyond the arc, which we highlight in our 76ers vs. Lakers betting picks below.
But while Maxey’s production is still a big step up from prior years, his efficiency has cratered. While he’s shot well clear of 40% from deep in each of the past two seasons, he's down to 37.7% now.a bit off the mark. Tyrese hasn’t averaged more than 3.0 threes a game in any period outside the beginning of October and in March, he’s making just 2.9 per game.
He's still deadly from the corners, but without Embiid on the floor to generate doubles in the post, he’s not getting many of those looks. He has to generate the open shots for himself and his team every time down and he’s thus forced into above-the-break shots almost exclusively, which he's not nearly as effective with.It’s hard to know what to make of this Lakers team. In theory, this is a defense-first squad, but they've been a Bottom-5 defense over the past two weeks.
Through eight games in March, he’s made just two threes and in four of those eight games, he didn’t even attempt one. This is a game that AD should dominate in the post against Paul Reed, so I suspect he won’t spend much time floating on the perimeter.76ers vs Lakers spread and Over/Under analysis
