Reed was limited to 15 minutes on Saturday due to illness (2 points) and he's still apparently not feeling well but will try to play through it. Reed almost surely is not getting 10 points if he only plays that amount of minutes again. He averages 6.1 ppg, but that's because he generally doesn't play a lot as Joel Embiid's backup.

The 76ers need Tyrese Maxey to carry their offense with Joel Embiid (knee) out. He scored just 23 points against the Nets on Saturday, but he sat out the entire fourth quarter because of the lopsided score. Prior to that, he scored 51 points against the Jazz. Tobias Harris (illness) is trending towards returning Monday, which would help the 76ers’ efforts to keep this matchup close. The Mavericks have played at the eighth-fastest pace and they have the sixth-worst defensive rating in the league, so if the 76ers can keep things close, Maxey has a great chance to score at least 30 points.

Dereck Lively II (nose) has been ruled out for this game, but he is the only injury of note for the Mavericks up front. They will even have both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving available for their backcourt. Derrick Jones Jr. is averaging a career-high 26 minutes per game for them, but he has only provided 3.6 rebounds per game. In terms of this prop, Jones has hauled in four or fewer rebounds in 11 of his last 12 games. Despite Joel Embiid (knee) being out for the 76ers, I still like this under for Jones.

This just ticked up a bit because Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will both play for the first time in a while together. The Sixers obviously are without Joel Embiid along with a few key reserves still. Tobias Harris is questionable. Not sure Tyrese Maxey can single-handedly win this game like he recently did in Utah with 50 points.

It is never pleasant fading a player the caliber for Luka who is capable of erupting at given moment but considering a stat line of 36/10/10 would be a win for us, it is hard to resist. Kyrie Irving is also probable for this game as well and Luka has been drastic splits with and without Kyrie this season. Luka averages 51.4 PRA with an active Irving compared to 58.1 PRA with Irving inactive. Additionally Luka also logs 5 fewer minutes per game as well. Luka is Questionable tonight with ankle soreness as well just giving this under even more outs if he is in fact playing at less than 100%.
