Tyrese Maxey under 5.5 assists
We’re taking Maxey under 5.5 full-game assists. The case rests on recurring four-assist finishes, not an expectation that Philadelphia will cut his minutes. Against Boston, he recorded four assists alongside 24 points in 33 minutes and 51 seconds.
His last eight assist totals, most recent first, are four, seven, four, seven, 11, four, four, and four. Five of those finished below this line. Across 12 games this season, Maxey has 64 assists, averaging 5.33 per game.
Maxey is active and included in Philadelphia’s projected, unconfirmed starting five. Joel Embiid and LeBron James are questionable for rest, leaving the offensive configuration unsettled. A different supporting cast could change Maxey’s responsibilities, so this under does not depend on either teammate sitting or playing.
The two seven-assist outings and the 11-assist performance show the passing upside that could beat us. Still, the repeated below-line finishes and matchup estimate support a measured under at this price.
Maxey under 5.5 assists
Immanuel Quickley over 4.5 assists
Back Quickley over 4.5 full-game assists. His regular-season production supports a five-assist target: 50 assists in nine games, averaging 5.56.
Quickley’s last five assist totals, most recent first, are four, seven, two, seven, and eight. Three of those cleared this line, but his return against Boston on Wednesday produced four assists in 28 minutes. He had missed Toronto’s previous two games with right hamstring tightness.
Quickley is active and included in Toronto’s projected, unconfirmed starting five. His recent hamstring trouble remains a concern on the second night of a back-to-back, without an established minutes restriction.
Those qualifications matter. Scottie Barnes is doubtful with a groin issue, but we’re not treating him as a confirmed absence or building the pick around extra opportunities. Quickley’s season rate and above-line forecast still persuade us to back the over despite Wednesday’s miss.
Jakob Poeltl over 7.5 rebounds
The third play is Poeltl over 7.5 full-game rebounds, with his recent sustained workload the main attraction. His last three rebound totals, most recent first, are nine, seven, and 11, in 32 minutes and five seconds, 30 minutes and 56 seconds, and 30 minutes and 40 seconds, respectively.
Against Boston, Poeltl collected nine boards despite scoring six points on five field-goal attempts. This recommendation does not need a scoring bounce-back.
His season baseline is the strongest objection. Poeltl has 61 rebounds and 214 minutes across nine regular-season games, averaging 6.78 boards. The recent seven-rebound finish also shows that more than 30 minutes does not ensure eight rebounds. Playing on consecutive nights could interrupt that workload pattern, while Embiid’s questionable status leaves the interior matchup unsettled. We still favour the over on the strength of Poeltl’s recent minutes and above-line forecast, rather than assuming a permanent increase in playing time.
