Tyrese Maxey powered Philadelphia 76ers past the Dallas Mavericks with 34 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds Thursday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks meet Thursday in Dallas, Texas, with tip-off set for 8:30 p.m. ET.

Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis will be back in the lineup for the team's game vs the 76ers on Thursday.

Tyrese Maxey led all scorers with a phenomenal outing: 34 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds on 14/24 shooting. VJ Edgecombe (23 points) and Joel Embiid (22 points) also had solid games for the 76ers, while the Mavericks were led by Max Christie with 18 points.

The Mavericks looked discombobulated in their first game of 2026, as Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers to an easy win in Big D.

Embiid is listed as probable against the Mavericks, which means he will most likely be on the floor. The 76ers have stayed afloat this season, more specifically because of Tyrese Maxey and his play, but when Embiid is on the floor, good things have usually happened for them.

The Dallas Mavericks are now 12-23 after a 123-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on New Year's Day. It's their fourth straight loss, and their sixth in the last seven games. It wasn't that long ago that the Mavs were winners of six in seven games, with impressive wins over the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets in there.

The Dallas Mavericks (12-22) have returned home from their recent winless road trip for a New Years Day bout with the Philadelphia 76ers (17-14).
