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 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.

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.

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.

Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Grimes will be worth holding onto for the foreseeable future.
