Maxey led the 76ers in points, but needed ridiculous volume to get there — 34 field-goal attempts is three short of cracking the top 100 all-time in attempts in a game. The 25-year-old point guard started the game 5-of-20 from the field and the 76ers while Maxey was -9 in 42 minutes. Maxey has provided second overall per game value over the last two weeks. The 76ers have three games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Over the past month, Potter has been a top-75 player in category leagues according to Basketball Monster. He’s rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, with the minutes split between Potter and Jay Huff keeping both players’ rostership percentages low. While the Pacers won’t play again until Wednesday, those who have been rostering Potter should hold onto him.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle continues to stick with a timeshare at the center position, and that’s likely to remain the case for the rest of this season. Huff remains the starter, and he played 25 minutes on Sunday while backup Micah Potter logged 24 off the bench. While Huff has been close to a top-75 player over the past month, Potter’s category league value has been slightly higher. The split of minutes is a big reason Huff is still rostered in 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues going into Week 19.

Walker, who has started the Pacers’ last seven games, has reached double figures in 15 of his last 16 appearances. Sunday’s game was his fourth with at least 20 points during this run. With Obi Toppin set to be under a minutes limit for the rest of the season and Pascal Siakam nursing a wrist injury, Walker is worth the risk during the silly season. Even with the turnover concerns, which he has done a better job of managing in recent games.

The Pacers won’t have Andrew Nembhard for Sunday’s game, as he sits out due to soreness in his neck and lower back. Jones returns to the starting lineup, and the rookie should play plenty.

Injured during Thursday’s win over the Heat, Embiid has been diagnosed with a strained right oblique. He’ll miss at least three games before being re-evaluated, starting with Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Toppin made his return from a stress fracture in his right foot on Thursday, starting but playing eight minutes in a loss to the Hornets.

Siakam has missed Indiana’s last two games with a sprained left wrist, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Sunday.

After spending the last three seasons on two-way contracts, Jackson has been rewarded with a standard deal. In the short term, Friday’s development ensures that he’ll be active for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. If the Pacers were to shut down Andrew Nembhard or T.J. McConnell, Jackson is one of the guards with “silly season standout” potential. He isn’t a must-add player currently, but fantasy managers in 14-team leagues should keep an eye on Jackson.

Potter has been on fire recently, scoring in double figures in six of his last seven games. After scoring a career-high 23 points on Tuesday, he followed that up by setting a new career high for three-pointers in this game. Potter has provided top-75 value in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks and should continue to play a large role for the remainder of the season.

Toppin made his return after a four-month absence and was immediately inserted into the started unit. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said before the game that his minutes would be managed, but he only ended up playing eight minutes in the first half before sitting out the rest of the game. Toppin should have a role the rest of the way, but he shouldn’t be rostered if his role is going to be this limited.

Edgecombe recorded a complete stat line against the Heat, and he’s picked up the production since the All-Star break. The rookie guard has scored at least 19 points in four of his last five games, providing third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With Dallas’ Cooper Flagg currently injured and not a lock to hit the 65-game minimum needed to be eligible for postseason awards, Edgecombe is someone who should be mentioned more often in Rookie of the Year conversations than he already is.

Since shooting 0-of-6 from the field and scoring two points in the 76ers’ February 11 blowout loss to the Knicks, Oubre has hit double figures in five straight games. This run includes two games with at least 21, with the 76ers’ wing producing a solid stat line against the Heat. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. With Paul George suspended for 13 more games, Oubre is worth the risk in some 12-team leagues if he’s still on the waiver wire.

While Embiid’s knee has been the focus of most fantasy managers’ attention this season, it was his ribs that were the problem on Thursday. The 7-footer took an inadvertent hit to his right side during the second quarter and appeared to struggle with the pain at various points for the rest of the game. However, this didn’t keep Embiid from knocking down a dagger three-pointer with 29.2 seconds remaining, giving the 76ers a 124-117 lead that would hold as the final score. The good news is that Philadelphia is off until Sunday. Hopefully, that time off benefits Embiid.

Maxey had it rolling during the first quarter of Thursday’s game, scoring 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. He made three three-pointers during the period, surpassing Allen Iverson for the most made three-pointers by a 76er. Maxey would make two more, pushing his tally to 887 in his 76ers’ career, but he cooled off after a hot start. The good news for fantasy managers is that the overall stat line compensated for the damage done by his poor field-goal percentage. The 76ers end their Week 18 slate on Sunday in Boston.

Toppin will immediately start in his first game since Oct. 26, which means rookie Kam Jones will head to the bench after starting Indiana’s last three games.

Embiid is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Thursday’s game.

Thursday’s game will be Toppin’s first since October 26, when he injured his right foot against the Timberwolves. During his pregame availability, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Toppin’s minutes will be limited on Thursday and for the rest of the season. That limits the forward’s potential value, but managers who stashed Toppin for this long might as well take a conservative approach when deciding whether to drop him.

Lower back injury management has Nembhard back on the Pacers’ injury report. If he’s unable to play on Thursday, T.J. McConnell would be the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.

While he did not shoot the ball well, missing all five of his three-point attempts, Walker found other ways to contribute on Tuesday. He’s reached double digits in rebounds in three of his last four appearances, and there was also solid value in the assist category. Regardless of what happens with Pascal Siakam (wrist), who did not play on Tuesday, Walker appears locked into the starting lineup for the rest of the season. Even with the efficiency concerns, he should be rostered in 14-team leagues, at a minimum.

Potter had the most productive offensive night of his NBA career on Tuesday, only missing two shots from the field and recording his first 20-point game. While the rebounding production was limited, he recorded a complete stat line in 23 minutes. Jay Huff (four points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes) remains the starter, but the Pacers have made sure to get Potter the minutes needed to be impactful. He isn’t a must-roster player in deep leagues, but Potter is worth a look for those seeking frontcourt depth.

Indiana’s point guard rotation was intact on Tuesday, but Nembhard still logged 28 minutes. That’s encouraging for fantasy managers counting on the Pacers’ guard for consistent value as the playoff weeks approach in Yahoo! default leagues. Fellow starter Kam Jones (13 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers) played 29 minutes, and his opportunities should remain consistent the rest of the way, if not increase. Nembhard is fine for now, but his playing time is something that fantasy managers should continue to watch.

Three 76ers scored at least 23 points in Tuesday’s victory, with Edgecombe joining Tyrese Maxey (32) and Joel Embiid (27).

While he wasn’t as explosive as he was in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves, Maxey has now scored at least 30 points in two straight and four of his last six games.

Philadelphia plays two more games in Week 18, starting with the Heat on Thursday.

Back in the 76ers’ lineup for the first time since February 7, Embiid started and played 26 minutes on Tuesday. A combination of an unspecified minutes limit and Philadelphia winning by a 135-114 final score helped with the management of the 7-footer’s workload. Embiid was effective while on the floor, even if his mobility remains an issue. Philadelphia’s final two games of Week 8 are on Thursday and Sunday; hopefully, that ensures fantasy managers of two more Embiid games.

Nembhard played 30 minutes, a positive development for fantasy managers, but that may not be the norm for him the rest of the season. Kam Jones (10 points, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers) started alongside Nembhard, and his role may expand as the Pacers focus more on evaluating their younger talents.
