Maxey posted 40 points (12-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal over 41 minutes during the 76ers' 113-111 win over the Kings on Thursday.
Maxey and Joel Embiid (37 points) carried the scoring load for the 76ers during Thursday's contest. The duo connected with each other on the 76ers' final offensive play of the fourth quarter, which resulted in an and-one layup for Maxey to give Philadelphia the come-from-behind victory and the All-Star guard his fifth 40-plus-point performance of the season (and first since Nov. 30 against the Hawks). Since Jan. 1, Maxey has averaged 26.9 points, 6.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 threes, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over 37.9 minutes per game.

Rotowire

After scoring a season-low six points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field in Monday's blowout loss to Charlotte, Maxey bounced back in the second leg of this back-to-back set. While he struggled with efficiency from beyond the arc yet again, the star point guard finished as Philadelphia's third-leading scorer and reached the 20-point threshold for the 13th time in 15 January appearances. He also dished out a game-high nine assists.

Rotowire
Maxey registered 36 points (15-28 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 43 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Rockets.
It was a two-way effort from Maxey in the overtime win, as he hit some clutch shots down the stretch and ripped away the rock from Amen Thompson on one of Houston's final possessions to seal the deal for Philly. However, he again struggled from distance, finishing 2-for-10 from long range. Maxey has been in a three-point funk over the past five games, going 9-for-38 from beyond the arc, but it shouldn't be long before the 39.7 percent three-point shooter finds his rhythm again.
Maxey registered 29 points (12-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, eight steals and one block over 40 minutes during the 76ers' 113-104 win over the Pacers on Monday.
Maxey was active on the defensive end of the floor during Monday's win, just three days after tallying five swipes against the Cavaliers on Friday. Maxey was particularly effective in the fourth quarter with 14 points and four steals, demonstrating why he was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his six-year NBA career. He has averaged 28.5 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 threes and 2.8 steals in 38.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Across nine January contests, Maxey is averaging 28.4 points, 5.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 50.3 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Rotowire
Maxey recorded 38 points (13-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 45 minutes during the 76ers' 116-115 overtime loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Maxey once again was the engine that kept the 76ers' offense running Sunday, especially after Paul George was a late scratch due to a knee injury. Maxey scored 24 of his 38 points during the second half and overtime, but no other Sixers player was able to score more than the 17 supplied by rookie VJ Edgecombe. The 76ers and Raptors face off against each other again Monday, and Maxey could be getting reinforcements for that game depending on the statuses of George and Joel Embiid (knee).

Rotowire
The 76ers downgraded Maxey (illness) to questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey was previously listed as probable, so he's trending in the wrong direction as Friday's 7 p.m. ET tip approaches. The point guard leads the NBA in minutes and has yet to miss a game this season.
