Tyrese Maxey finished Thursday’s win over the Cavaliers with 32 points (12-of-23 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
The 76ers pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history on Thursday, rallying from a 29-point deficit to win 114-106 in their home opener. Maxey was Philadelphia’s most consistent offensive player, and his defense on James Harden also played a role. Harden scored 10 points in the second half but also recorded more turnovers (four) than assists (two). If the first two games indicate what’s to come, Maxey will be the 76ers’ first offensive option. Given his first-round ADP, that’s great news for fantasy managers.
