Walker had 16 points in 18 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, but has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets with an illness. The 76ers are going to be severely shorthanded once again as Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Andre Drummond are all out again. With Adem Bona (back) still questionable, it’s reasonable to assume Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford will see minutes in this game.

Drummond was initially questionable due to back spasms, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets. Adem Bona remains questionable with a sore back. Both centers missed Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, which allowed Dominick Barlow to move into the starting lineup.

Triple-doubles have eluded Johnson this month, but this was another near miss for him. Still, he was able to stuff the stat sheet once again in another win for Atlanta. They currently own the longest winning streak in the NBA at eight games, though it’s worth noting they’ve only played on away game during this streak. Still, Johnson has been fantastic, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Following a three-game absence with a knee injury, Kuminga returned to the lineup, and while Atlanta’s winning streak stayed alive, he wasn’t as productive as his previous appearances for Atlanta. He averaged 21.3 points across his first three games for the Hawks, but his only two points in this game came at the free throw line. It was good to see Kuminga log 19 minutes in his first game back, but it’s clear he won’t be a 20-point scorer consistently.

With Dyson Daniels (toe) sidelined, Corey Kispert got the starting nod, but it was Risacher that saw the biggest bump in minutes. This ended up being his highest-scoring outing since early January, which was the game before he missed three weeks with a knee injury. Risacher has struggled this year, but hopefully he will build on this performance and get back on track in the coming weeks.

Embiid has missed Philadelphia’s last six games with a strained oblique, and five games last month with a knee injury. To say that the 76ers have struggled in the former MVP’s absence would be an understatement, especially since Tyrese Maxey went down with a finger injury. For Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, the 76ers didn’t have Andre Drummond or Adem Bona, either. Dominick Barlow served as the starting center, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.

After a solid showing in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, his first after a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe struggled in Detroit. Not only did he miss all five of his three-point attempts, but the rookie shot 3-of-9 from two and did not record an assist. Saturday’s matchup with the Nets should be far more forgiving for Edgecombe, as Brooklyn is headed back to the draft lottery.

Once again used in a reserve role, Payne’s streak of consecutive made three-pointers ended at 10 during Thursday’s defeat. He still had a solid night scoring-wise, but those who have streamed him may have hoped for a better assist tally. Even if Payne continues to come off the bench, which is likely since the 76ers want to put the ball in VJ Edgecombe’s hands more, he’s worth streaming while Tyrese Maxey (finger) is out.

The 76ers’ many absences freed up opportunities for players who normally would not be guaranteed rotation minutes, including Beauchamp. Just over a month removed from scoring a then-season high 10 points, the former first-round pick surpassed that number in Detroit. Beauchamp’s night won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it could be a step toward him earning a standard contract somewhere for next season.

Kispert will get the starting nod in place of Dyson Daniels (toe), who is sidelined for this game. Kispert started six games for Atlanta in January but has come off the bench since then. He can provide some three-pointers in extra minutes, but that isn’t guaranteed. He is a low-upside streaming option.

Joel Embiid (oblique) is also out, and Andre Drummond (back spasms) is questionable, so the 76ers will be very short-handed against a Pistons team with a talented frontcourt. If Drummond can’t play, the 76ers will likely turn to Dominick Barlow as more of a small-ball center with Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker playing more minutes.

Atlanta won a seventh straight game in this one, and during that stretch, Daniels has averaged 11.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.6 turnovers per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor. He has been incredible and a big reason why Atlanta has had recent success. He has his obvious limitations, but Daniels has been producing at an incredibly high level as of late regardless.

Johnson had a fewer rough performances by his lofty standards since the All-Star break, but he has gotten back on track recently. They only have two more games this week, but he will continue to fill it up in the box score every night.

Saturday’s win over the 76ers was a quieter performance for Okongwu, but he was able to get back on track in this one. Over his last seven games, he has five double-doubles and has been able to contribute plenty of steals and blocks during that stretch. He hasn’t been a strong rebounder this season, but he has been more impactful on the glass in recent weeks, leading to elite fantasy production.

This was a fifth straight start for Grimes, and while the first was rough, he has averaged 20.3 points over the last four while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He hasn’t offered much in other categories, but the 76ers will need his continued offensive production with Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss at least three weeks. Grimes should continue to see a bump in minutes and scoring moving forward.

Oubre stepped up in a big way for the shorthanded 76ers in this one. He set new season highs for both points and rebounds in the win while also recording his fourth double-double of the season. Oubre has been a decent option when he has started this year, but with Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss a few weeks and both Joel Embiid and Paul George still unavailable, Oubre will continue to be vital to the team’s success, which should lead to more outings like this.

Following a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe returned for this game. With Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss at least three weeks, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said before the game that he would be the team’s primary ball handler for this game. He led the starters in assists and could be a decent source of dimes over the next few weeks, assuming Cam Payne doesn’t return to the starting unit. Regardless, Edgecombe will be a priority option moving forward.

Payne was pushed back to the bench with VJ Edgecombe (back) available, but he still played an important role off the bench. He had a monster first half, scoring 16 points with four three-pointers without missing a shot while also adding three stocks. Though he didn’t remain perfect from the floor, he did remain perfect from deep and the free throw line in what ended up being an incredible performance from Payne. This was the first time in franchise history that a player made at least eight triples without missing, and he became the first 76ers reserve to finish with at least 30 points and 10 assists while coming off the bench. The 31-year-old who signed a standard deal to return to the NBA during the All-Star break ended up setting new career highs for both points and three-pointers. With Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to be re-evaluated in three weeks, Payne will be an important piece for the 76ers for the rest of this month and should be considered a must-roster player after this performance.

Maxey has a tendon injury in his right pinky finger, which is his shooting hand. The injury occurred in Saturday’s loss to Atlanta, and he missed Monday’s game against the Cavaliers and had already been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Tuesday. This will have Maxey being re-evaluated on March 31, though he could remain sidelined longer than that. VJ Edgecombe is set to serve as the starting point guard against Memphis and could remain in that role for most of this month, with Cameron Payne filling out the backup minutes.

Due to Philadelphia’s many injuries, Edwards has re-entered the rotation for the last three games. The 28 minutes he played against the Cavaliers were the most for the second-year wing since late November, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The 14 points were the most in a game for Edwards since November 11, when he scored a season-high 22 in a win over the Celtics. Edwards is not someone who has to be picked up in fantasy leagues, but he’ll have more opportunities to contribute during Philadelphia’s final four games of Week 20.
