NBA roundup: Tyrese Maxey nets career-best 54 in 76ers’ OT win

Thursday’s NBA board delivered one of the most explosive offensive nights of the season, headlined by a 54-point performance, a franchise-record assist barrage, and decisive defensive swings across multiple arenas. Several games ran heavy on pace, while others turned on deep shooting bursts and fourth-quarter surges. Bettors monitored momentum shifts through Odds & Scores as short-handed lineups, travel fatigue and extended losing streaks shaped the late window.

76ers 123, Bucks 114 (OT)

Tyrese Maxey turned the night into a career milestone, scoring 54 points and sealing the win with four late free throws.
Justin Edwards hit seven threes and opened overtime with the go-ahead bucket — his only three of the OT period — and added a crucial offensive rebound that set up Quentin Grimes for two lead-extending free throws in the final minute.
Paul George chipped in 21 points in only his second game of the season as the 76ers improved to 2–0 in overtime games.
Ryan Rollins kept Milwaukee close with 32 points, 14 assists and six rebounds. Turner registered 14 points and 10 boards. A leaderboard capper had identified Philadelphia’s late-game creation strength pre-tip, mirroring tendencies noted in the Bettors Handbook.

Grizzlies 137, Kings 96

Memphis broke out of a five-game skid by producing one of its most complete team efforts of the season.
Santi Aldama tied his career high with 29 points, hitting five threes and controlling the floor in all phases. Jock Landale added 21 on 8-for-9 shooting.
The Grizzlies set a new franchise record with 42 assists, a total driven by Vince Williams Jr.’s career-best 15 dimes as he handled point-guard duties. Cedric Coward produced 19. Zach Edey scored 16 points — all in the first half — on a perfect 7-for-7 start.
Zach LaVine scored 26 for Sacramento. Maxime Raynaud added 12. Keegan Murray scored 11 in his season debut after returning from thumb surgery. Russell Westbrook added 11. A picks analyst pointed to Memphis’ spacing improvements, matching signals highlighted on the Picks Leaderboard.

Franz Wagner added 20, and Tristan da Silva delivered 17 points and eight rebounds. Desmond Bane chipped in 15 while hitting half of his attempts from deep.
Orlando’s pressure defense held the Clippers to 40.4 percent shooting and forced 21 turnovers.
Los Angeles mounted little resistance outside James Harden’s 31 points. Ivica Zubac added 14 points and a game-high 19 rebounds. A capper noted Orlando’s rising defensive consistency, a theme discussed repeatedly on the Handicappers board.

Spurs 135, Hawks 126

De’Aaron Fox powered San Antonio with 26 points while Keldon Johnson fueled the bench with a season-high 25.
The Spurs led by 19 in the second quarter but entered the fourth up by just three. Atlanta briefly took the lead on a Nickeil Alexander-Walker layup with 9:17 left, but San Antonio responded with a commanding 10-0 burst capped by Jeremy Sochan’s dunk.
Alexander-Walker scored a career-high 38 for Atlanta. Jalen Johnson produced 26 points and 12 rebounds. The Hawks have now dropped two straight after winning five in a row.
