Tyrese Maxey lit up the Pacers for 31 points (12-for-18 FGs), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and five 3-pointers.
With James Harden out, Maxey did more than just pick up the slack on the offensive end.
He was borderline unstoppable early, as he shot 11-for-13 through the first three quarters.

Maxey has provided top-75 value over the past two weeks, as he has made his return to being a fixture of the starting lineup. Despite not providing much across the board, his efficient scoring has allowed him to approach his ADP of 55. Harden returning to the lineup shouldn’t have a huge impact on Maxey’s production.
