I have no interest in this prop on Tyrese Maxey when the Sixers are largely healthy -- with Joel Embiid back last night, Maxey had 13 assists, many to Embiid. But he will have to mostly take care of the scoring tonight with Embiid (and Paul George) out. This season without Embiid, Maxey averages 5.9 helpers. And who exactly will Maxey pass to in this one: Justin Edwards? Miami is a good defensive team usually (wasn't last night).

Tyrese Maxey scored 33 points in Joel Embiid’s return against the Mavericks on Tuesday. Embiid has been ruled out for this game Wednesday, while Paul George is listed as doubtful. Maxey has scored at least 30 points in six straight games and should get plenty of shots again versus the Heat. It helps his cause that this game will be played at home, where he has shot 45.9% from the field. On the road, he is shooting 43.0%.

Paul George (finger) is questionable to face Miami, but if he does I like him to have a strong offensive game as Joel Embiid remains out. George put up 18 points and five assists in his only previous matchup with the Heat this season, despite shooting 1 of 7 from deep. Last month -- George has not played in February yet -- he shot 44.7 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 20.5 points and 4.6 assists. Miami has given up 119 or more points in three of its last four.
