What happened: Tyrese Maxey dropped two spots to No. 6 in the NBA's Week 4 MVP Ladder. The slide follows two games under 20 points and a loss to the Boston Celtics, offset by a 27-point, eight-assist performance against Toronto.
Why it matters: Philadelphia holds a 10-3 record through 13 games, trailing only the 10-2 Celtics in the Eastern Conference. Maxey remains central to the 76ers' offense as they look to maintain pace near the top of the conference standings.
By the numbers: Maxey has recorded 26.7 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game and 5.5 assists per game in 2026-27 through 13 games.
What to watch: Philadelphia continues its regular-season slate following a 123-112 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
