Edgecombe, who has yet to miss a game this season, is dealing with tightness in his left calf. If he’s unable to play, Quentin Grimes would have added value in fantasy leagues, whether he starts or comes off the bench. Now would be a good time to add him to your rosters, even if Edgecombe plays.

Embiid will miss a sixth straight game due to what the 76ers are describing as right knee injury management. Given his history of lower-body injuries, it’s unclear when Embiid will be healthy enough to play. Andre Drummond should be rostered wherever he’s available until the former MVP can play without any restrictions.

Ivey missed the first 15 games of the season after having surgery on his right knee. The 23-year-old shooting guard doesn’t have a set return date and only began on-court work last week, but being listed on the injury report as questionable certainly represents progress in his recovery. Even if he is active on Saturday, Ivey would likely be on a minutes limit.

Sidelined since November 1, Harris is questionable for Saturday’s game. However, he was also questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Hawks but did not play. If he can play against the Bucks, Harris’ availability affects Isaiah Stewart, who has been filling in as the starting power forward. Regardless of what happens, fantasy managers should continue to roster Stewart in deeper leagues and some 12-team formats as well.

George came out scalding hot on Thursday, scoring 11 of the game’s first 15 points. He remains on a minutes restriction, which nailed PG to the bench in crunch time and the extra period, but he made the most of his 25 minutes. It’s unknown when George’s restriction will be removed, but Thursday showed that he’s capable of providing reliable value immediately. The 76ers host Miami in their final game of Week 5 on Sunday, and it isn’t part of a back-to-back.

Paul George set the tone for the 76ers on Thursday, but it was Maxey who came through with a truly transcendent performance. Recording his fourth career 50-point game, the 76ers guard finished with a career-high total. Add in the overall stat line, and this was another great night to have Maxey rostered. He’s been among the best players in fantasy basketball this season and should be in the running for his second All-Star Game appearance.

George is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors. He’ll serve as the small-ball power forward in this lineup, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. While he should remain in the rotation, Barlow is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball.

George made his debut on Monday in 21 minutes against the Clippers, but then sat out on Wednesday against the Raptors. He’ll now return on Thursday and should continue to play minutes in the mid-20s. We should not expect the 35-year-old to play in both ends of a back-to-back for a few weeks, so he will remain off fantasy radars in shallower formats for now.

This is now the fifth straight missed game for Embiid as he battles right knee issues, which is not the knee he had surgery on in the offseason. Andre Drummond will continue to start in his place and be useful in fantasy leagues due to his rebounding and defensive value.

Despite Philadelphia not having Paul George or Kelly Oubre for Wednesday’s game, Grimes was still used in a reserve role. Justin Edwards (8/2/2/1 in 23 minutes) was the choice, but after a quiet first half, Grimes replaced him in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Even if George can play in Thursday’s game against the Bucks, Grimes has played well enough this season to merit being rostered in some 12-team leagues.

Edgecombe led the 76ers in shot attempts on Wednesday, a bit of a surprise since Tyrese Maxey is also in the lineup. However, the rookie guard finished with a complete stat line and his first 20-point game since October 27. Despite the decrease in scoring since his hot start, Edgecombe remains a top-100 player in eight-cat formats while sitting just outside that threshold in nine-cat. The test for VJ will be what happens if Joel Embiid and Paul George are able to play without any restrictions at some point this season.

Maxey once again led the way offensively for the 76ers, and he remains efficient despite the attention he draws from opposing defenses. Maxey has dropped outside of the first round in 12-team leagues in nine-cat formats, but he has maintained that value in eight-cat. Given the absences in Philadelphia, Maxey’s going to turn the ball over more than he has in the past. However, he’s managed to keep that in check, committing three turnovers on Wednesday.

Injured during the 76ers’ November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined.

The 76ers won’t have Paul George for Wednesday’s game, as he’s sitting out due to knee injury management. With Kelly Oubre Jr. also out, Edwards will make his second start of the season and first since October 28. Even with the promotion, he is not as valuable to fantasy managers as Quentin Grimes, who will again figure prominently in the bench rotation.

Cunningham returned after missing Detroit’s last three games, and he made his presence felt immediately. With the Pistons leading by just two points with 90 seconds left, Cade hit back-to-back tough shots to extend the lead and secure the win, which was their 11th in a row. His shooting percentage is down, but he is averaging career-highs in points, assists and steals per game this season. It has been a team effort to sit atop the Eastern Conference early on, but when the game comes down to the wire, it’s clear it’s Cunningham’s team.

Both Cade Cunningham (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) returned for this game, but Jenkins remained a starter. He has played really well and certainly earned it, but Thompson returning from a four-game absence was also a factor. Jenkins should still be part of the rotation, but it is unlikely that he remains in the starting unit, much longer, especially with Jaden Ivey (knee) getting closer to a return.

Duren’s double-double streak came to an end, but he was still able to make a big impact as a scorer, as he has all month. In November, he has scored at least 20 points in six of his eight appearances, with three 30-point performances included. He’s averaging career-highs in points and rebounds, which has led to a dominant fantasy season from him to this point.

Cunningham is back in the Pistons’ lineup after missing three games with a hip injury. However, his return will not push Jenkins to the bench.

Cunningham is back after a three-game absence, giving the Pistons a welcome boost on the perimeter.

George logged 21 minutes in his season debut on Monday, but he’ll be held out against Toronto. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should suit up against the Bucks on Thursday.

Thompson has missed Detroit’s last four games, but he’s got a chance to take the court on Tuesday. The Pistons’ injury report remains crowded, with Cade Cunningham (hip) and Tobias Harris (ankle) also questionable and Caris LeVert (ankle) and Bobi Klintman (ankle) sidelined. Ronald Holland II, Isaiah Stewart and Javonte Green could all be in line for expanded roles if one of Thompson or Harris is out against Atlanta.

Green continues to benefit from the Pistons still missing multiple starters. The 32-year-old shooting guard played 27 minutes off the bench against the Pacers on Monday and scored 20 points. Until the Pistons get back to full strength, Green can be used in deeper formats where fantasy managers need points and threes.

Jenkins moved into the starting lineup with Cade Cunningham (hip) out Monday. The 24-year-old point guard, who’s still on a two-way contract, dropped 26 points and had eight assists against the Pacers. Jenkins continues to impress when given the opportunity this year. He has the look of a player that’s earned a standard contract and will stick around even when the Pistons get healthy.

While he wasn’t in the starting lineup to begin Monday’s game, Grimes was effectively the 76ers’ “sixth starter.” Replacing Dominick Barlow in the lineup to start the third quarter, he played 36 minutes, with only Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond and VJ Edgecombe playing more. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Grimes will be worth holding onto for the foreseeable future. In addition to Paul George’s minutes restriction, the 76ers have to navigate Kelly Oubre Jr.'s (knee) absence. Grimes won’t lack opportunities, and he’s providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats.

Duren returned after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. The 21-year-old center had 31 points in 28 minutes as the Pistons won their 10th consecutive game.

Drummond continues to provide solid value as Joel Embiid’s replacement in the starting lineup. On Monday, the veteran center recorded his fourth double-double in as many games and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Drummond has provided fourth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats over his last four games. With Embiid lacking a definitive timeline to return, adding Drummond would be a good idea.

Making his first appearance of the season, George was on a minutes restriction on Monday. Given the time missed, it’s unsurprising that he was rusty offensively. However, the veteran wing did provide solid value in the rebound and blocked shot categories. George was used at both forward positions, starting the second half at the four with Quentin Grimes replacing Dominick Barlow (7/1/0/3). Obviously, George’s restriction isn’t going away anytime soon. And with a midweek back-to-back, fantasy managers should anticipate him sitting out either Wednesday’s game against Toronto or Thursday’s game in Milwaukee.

Maxey came up big for the 76ers when they needed him most, scoring 14 of his game-high 39 points during the fourth quarter. There were two turnovers within six seconds of each other in the final minute, but the point guard received some welcome help from his teammates to close out the comeback victory. Even with Paul George back in the lineup, Philadelphia’s offense still runs through Maxey, which is good news for those who have him rostered.

At long last, George will make his season debut on Monday. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from the veteran forward in his first game back. He steps into the void left by Kelly Oubre Jr., who is out with a sprained left knee. The other change to the lineup is Barlow, who began the season as a starter and will resume those duties with Trendon Watford heading to the bench.
