In route to picking up the Sixers’ first win of the season this past Sunday, Tyrese Maxey dropped 45 points along with four assists and four rebounds to secure the overtime win against the Indiana Pacers. That made him the player with the highest scoring game of this young season.

That hardly lasted 24 hours though, as Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic torched the very same Pacers, going for 50 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. He was absurdly efficient doing so, shooting 15-of-22 from the floor. Anyone with Orlando Magic stock has to feel good about their 3-1 start and how their young core in Banchero and Franz Wagner have looked.
