76ers vs Pelicans prediction<\/p>\n

76ers vs Pelicans best bet: Tyrese Maxey Over 3.5 threes (+110)<\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey<\/a> is knocking down 3.4 three-pointers per game on 8.9 attempts, and he returned from the All-Star break by hitting 4 of 11 from beyond the arc. Although that marked his first Over in five games, there are signs he\u2019s poised to heat up again.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> face the struggling New Orleans Pelicans<\/a>, a team surrendering 3.55 made threes per game to opposing point guards.<\/p>\n

Maxey has also been far more efficient on the road, shooting 40.2 percent from deep while averaging 3.5 makes per contest, making this matchup a favorable spot for another strong perimeter performance.<\/p>\n

Quentin Grimes<\/a> is shooting 34.4% from three-point range this season, averaging 1.8 makes on 5.3 attempts per contest.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s cashed the Over in three of his last five games, going 2-for-4 on Thursday against Atlanta. Each of those appearances where he hit the Over was on the road.<\/p>\n

While the Sixers lost their first game after the ASG break, they did beat the Pelicans by 10 points on January 31. New Orleans is also a horrendous 6-21 at home this season, while Philly has actually played well on the road, compiling a 15-10 record.<\/p>\n
