A light night of NBA hoops to accompany a Thursday Night NFL game that was finally entertaining. Let’s get right into it.
Maxey can’t miss
Tyrese Maxey only took eight shots in Philadelphia’s win over the Pistons, but he scored twice as many points, netting 16 on 6-8 FG shooting, including 2-2 from three and at the free-throw line.
Through five NBA games as a starter in Ben Simmons’ absence, Maxey is averaging 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 46% from the field. His three-point stroke is only converting at 29.
