Nance is available after missing two games with a left knee contusion. Since Evan Mobley is getting the night off, there should be rotation minutes available to Nance. However, he is not worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Embiid did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics due to a sore right knee. It’s important to note that it was the left knee that gave him trouble in the past, with the former MVP undergoing another procedure during the offseason. Philadelphia doesn’t play again until Friday in Detroit, but that may not be enough time for Embiid to return to full strength. Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup with Adem Bona serving as his backup.

George is making progress in his recovery from offseason knee surgery, but he remains without a concrete return timeline. He’ll be re-evaluated later this week, with Charania reporting that team doctors want George to further strengthen his left quad muscle to help support his left knee. So, nothing has really changed for those who have him rostered. Continue to stash him in an IL+ slot and hold out hope that a return isn’t too far away. Trendon Watford struggled in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics but should remain the starting power forward for now.

Edwards played a pivotal role for Philadelphia down the home stretch in this one, knocking down 5-of-6 three-point attempts, including a pair down the home stretch to help erase an eight-point deficit over the final six minutes. His only miss of the night set up teammate Kelly Oubre Jr.’s go-ahead layup with just 8.7 second left in the contest. The 21-year-old saw a season-high 26 minutes in this one with franchise cornerstone Joel Embiid out with right knee soreness and Jared McCain limited to just six minutes while dealing with thumb and knee issues. The 76ers are back in action on Friday evening with a road tilt against the Pistons and a red-hot Cade Cunningham.

Maxey continues to be one of the most impactful scorers in the fantasy landscape, eclipsing the 20-point mark in 11consecutive contests to open the season. The 25-year-old rising star didn’t exactly light it up in this one, but he came alive in the second half to help spark a late comeback effort. He dished out nine assists to finish just shy of his third double-double performance of the year.

Drummond exploited Boston’s lack of frontcourt size to close out the first half with back-to-back buckets in the paint to finish with 10 points as Philadelphia raced out to a 51-41 lead. The 14-year-veteran drew the starting assignment with Joel Embiid out with right knee soreness. He and fellow big man Adem Bona figure to see an uptick in minutes while Embiid is sidelined to undergo further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the issue.

Tyson has entered the league’s concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during Monday’s loss to the Heat. With Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell also out, the Cavaliers will rely heavily on Craig Porter Jr. and De’Andre Hunter to absorb the available minutes. They’ll both be worth rostering out of necessity, with the latter already being an option in some 12-team formats.

The Cavaliers will be down multiple rotation players on Wednesday, including Mitchell and Mobley.

Garland injured his left toe during Monday’s loss to the Heat, exiting for good during the third quarter. The good news is that the Cavaliers are describing Garland’s absence as left toe injury management, so this may not be a long-term injury. Sam Merrill will have more opportunities on Wednesday and will likely start, as Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are also out.

Embiid wasn’t initially on the injury report, and this isn’t a back-to-back, which makes this update scary. Hopefully it’s just an opportunity for them to get him some extra rest since they only have one more game left this week. Andre Drummond should be in line for another start, with Adem Bona filling out the reserve minutes.

Nine of Mobley’s 11 rebounds were of the offensive variety, and he also dished out five assists. Monday’s overtime defeat was the Cavaliers forward’s first this season with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Mobley, who had a Yahoo! ADP of 19, has not performed to that level, but he is a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Jarrett Allen (14/7/2/0/1) only played 21 minutes on Monday, and he’s taken a back seat to Mobley in the frontcourt. Mobley is more than capable of meeting the preseason expectations; fantasy managers need to stay patient.

One game removed from tallying a season-high 29 points, Hunter dropped in 23 more in Monday’s overtime defeat. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s ranked just outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Hunter hasn’t been the best option in standard category leagues, but the current circumstances in Cleveland make him worth a look. He’ll likely be a starter until Max Strus returns from offseason surgery, and the Cavaliers may be without Darius Garland after he injured his toe during Monday’s game.

Mitchell struggled with his three-point shot on Monday, shooting 3-of-16. However, his third triple was an improbable shot with four-tenths of a second remaining in overtime that appeared destined to force a second extra session. Andrew Wiggins had other ideas, taking advantage of a botched switch to dunk home the winner as time expired. Of greater importance to Mitchell and the Cavaliers is that Darius Garland left Monday’s game in the third quarter after injuring the left big toe, which was operated on during the spring. If he has to miss time, Mitchell will return to the point, with Sam Merrill (12/2/2 with four three-pointers) rejoining the starting lineup. Cleveland plays Miami again on Wednesday.

Garland appeared to injure his left big toe late in the second quarter of Monday’s game. He did return to begin the third quarter but would eventually give a foul and then head back to the locker room. The concern is that this is the same toe he injured in March, ultimately requiring surgery at the end of Cleveland’s playoff run. If he misses time, the Cavaliers will likely turn to Donovan Mitchell to run the point, with Sam Merrill re-entering the starting lineup.

Garland is back in the lineup after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Bulls, which was Cleveland’s second game in as many nights. His return pushes Jaylon Tyson to the bench. While the second-year wing’s already-low fantasy value takes a hit, he’ll remain in the rotation.

Monday’s game will be the second Nance has missed with what’s been described as a minor left knee contusion. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it should mean a few more minutes for fellow reserve Dean Wade.

Broome remains out for another game with a sprained right ankle. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as the rookie has not been in the 76ers’ rotation. However, the injury keeps Broome from getting on-court practice reps, either with the 76ers or the team’s G League affiliate.

Embiid is back after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Pistons, which was Philadelphia’s second game in as many nights.

Grimes has reached double figures in all ten games he’s played this season, providing the 76ers with consistent offense off the bench. However, he’s also been effective in the rebound and assist categories, which is why he’s ranked safely within the top-100 going into Week 4. There’s the question of what will happen once Paul George is healthy enough to play and Jared McCain (zero points and one assist in nine minutes) isn’t under a minutes restriction. However, Grimes should not take too big a hit once the 76ers’ rotation is at full strength, given his productivity.

With Joel Embiid unavailable for injury management reasons, Drummond was tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup on Sunday. And the veteran center came through with a performance on par with what many fantasy managers expected of Drummond when he first joined the 76ers. He recorded a complete stat line on Sunday, including his first game this season with multiple three-pointers. Adem Bona, who was Embiid’s replacement in past games, played 12 minutes off the bench, finishing with two points, four rebounds, one steal and three blocks. Unfortunately, neither will be of much value during Week 4, as the 76ers play just two games.

Maxey had a chance to tie Sunday’s game and force overtime, but his three-point attempt at the end of a hectic possession hit the front iron just before time expired. However, fantasy managers will be more focused on Maxey’s production, as the 76ers guard has scored 30 or more points in six games this season. While we’re used to seeing the likes of Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander atop the fantasy rankings, Maxey finds himself in similar company going into Week 4. The 76ers play only two games, but that’s an issue that affects the “supporting cast” more than Maxey.

Mitchell stepped out of the metaphorical phone booth in the closing moments, scoring eight straight points in 65 seconds — including a go-ahead bucket with 34 seconds left — to help Cleveland erase a six-point deficit in the final two minutes. The 29-year-old scoring machine has been a top-10 fantasy player early in the season, averaging 30 points, three rebounds, five assists, and two steals through nine games. The Cavaliers have won four straight and will look to keep rolling when they open a two-game set in Miami on Monday evening.

Hunter stepped up to shoulder more of the scoring and play-making workload in this one with Darius Garland, who made his season debut earlier this week following offseason toe surgery, held out on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Jaylon Tyson got the start in place of Garland, which figures to happen again early next week against the Heat. He finished with 17 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes. Hunter delivered several highlight-reel worthy plays, including four three-pointers and a massive dunk after dropping Josh Giddey with a phenomenal crossover in the second quarter.

Mobley was one of the key reasons why Cleveland pulled out their fourth straight win as he fell just shy of a double-double for the second consecutive contest. The 24-year-old interior presence is averaging 20 points, nine rebounds and a career-best four assists per-game through 10 contests at the outset of the season. He’s performing at a borderline second-round value so far, which is a nice bonus for fantasy managers.

Embiid’s first game of the season was rough, but since then, he has scored at least 20 points in every game he has played in, despite the minutes restriction. He set a new season-high for scoring in this one, which helped the 76ers snap a two-game losing streak. Embiid’s 26 minutes also matched his season-high. It’s great to see him progressing, but he still isn’t ready to play back-to-backs; expect him to be listed as out against the Pistons on Sunday, which will allow Adem Bona to start and Andre Drummond to play extra minutes off the bench.

Per usual, Maxey was unstoppable on the offensive end and had a big night in the scoring department. Maxey has scored at least 30 points in five of the 76ers’ nine games this season and has at least 25 points in all of them. Maxey is averaging 33.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 4.1 three-pointers per game this season and has certainly been worth his second-round ADP to this point.

Watford had been playing well off the bench recently, so 76ers coach Nick Nurse gave him the starting nod over Jabari Walker. Watford took full advantage of the opportunity, recording the first triple-double of his career. It would be surprising if Nurse didn’t leave Watford in that role, at least until Paul George returns to the lineup. However, if Watford continues to play this well, he’ll certainly have a case to remain a starter over Kelly Oubre. Watford is currently rostered in just six percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Nance is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Bulls with a knee injury. Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade (eye) if he’s available could see extra minutes if Nance is out. Nance got one start while Jarrett Allen was out with a finger injury, but he doesn’t have much fantasy value in his bench role.

Cleveland’s “twin towers” dominated the glass on Friday, with Allen and Evan Mobley (18/10/3/1/1) combining to grab 24 rebounds. Twelve of those boards were on the offensive end of the floor, and Cleveland grabbed 25 offensive rebounds as a team. Since returning to the lineup after missing two games with a fractured finger, Allen has totaled 40 points, 24 rebounds, four assists, five steals and four blocked shots. Mobley will be the focal point in the frontcourt for Cleveland, but that doesn’t eliminate Allen’s fantasy value.

Mitchell didn’t have a great shooting night overall, but he did make 40 percent of his three-point attempts and record a complete stat line. Even better for the Cavaliers is that he only needed 26 minutes to do so, as Cleveland hosts Chicago on Saturday.

Friday night worked out perfectly for Garland and the Cavaliers. He was productive, and while there was a need to run up points for NBA Cup point differential reasons, Cleveland did not need to extend their starting point guard too far. The question now is whether Garland will be available for Saturday’s game against the Bulls. Before Friday’s victory, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson did not rule out the possibility of Garland playing both games. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable, with Sam Merrill (14/2/2/1 with four three-pointers) and Jaylon Tyson (10/4/2/1 with two three-pointers) being potential replacements if Garland sits.
