Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence on Sunday and was productive in 20 minutes. He’s likely on the injury report simply because he is still managing the injury, but if he ends up missing this game, Naz Reid should return to the starting lineup.

Drummond missed Monday’s game after not seeing the floor in the second half on Sunday. If he returns, he will likely be back in the starting lineup, which would push Lonnie Walker IV or Jared Butler back to the bench after they started in a smaller lineup on Monday. If Drummond remains out, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona will continue to split the minutes at center.

Oubre Jr. sat out the second night of Philadelphia’s back-to-back when they took on Atlanta on Monday. Lonnie Walker IV entered the starting unit in his place and contributed 11 points, five rebounds and five assists. He should draw another start if Oubre Jr. remains out, and Justin Edwards should be in line for extra minutes and usage.

This will be a fifth-straight absence for Maxey, and as Philadelphia fights for better lottery odds, it wouldn’t be surprising if Maxey was sidelined for longer. Quentin Grimes should continue to shine, and both Jared Butler and Lonnie Walker IV are candidates to remain in the starting unit, though the status of Kelly Oubre Jr. will be a factor there as well.

Council IV’s role with Philadelphia hasn’t been consistent, but he has had some solid performances when he has been given the opportunity. This was another one of those games, and he set a new season-high for scoring in 29 minutes off the bench. Philly’s bench accounted for 53 of their 123 points, with Jeff Dowtin Jr. (17) and Adem Bona (12) also scoring in double figures. Council IV will certainly have a chance to impact fantasy basketball during “silly season”, and he certainly holds value in dynasty formats.

Philadelphia was more shorthanded than ever on Monday, and Grimes continued to lead the offense. Over their last six games, Grimes has averaged 25.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, two steals and 3.2 three-pointers per game while shooting 54.7 percent from the floor. Grimes has been an incredible addition for Philly, and he should get the chance to continue to prove his worth over the final month of the season. Rostered in just under half of Yahoo! leagues, he should be added everywhere he is available.

Butler started for the second time since being traded to Philadelphia, and he was able to chip in solid value in assists. He dished out nine assists in his previous start this season, and when he played a significant role in Washington, he was able to dish out plenty of dimes. It seems as though the 76ers have shifted their focus towards the lottery, which means that Butler could hold plenty of value over the final month of the year, especially for managers that are looking for assists.

With Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) and Andre Drummond (illness) both sidelined, Walker IV was able to start for the first time this season. He was able to contribute decent value, but a poor shooting night limited his overall impact in an increased role. It was also a bit of a letdown after he had 25 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in Philadelphia’s previous game. If they continue to deal with injuries in Toronto on Wednesday, Walker IV may continue to hold some value as a streaming option, though he will hopefully shoot the ball better in that one.

Walker and Butler will both move into the starting lineup with Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) and Andre Drummond (illness) sitting. This will be Butler’s second start of the season, while Walker will make his first start of the year after contributing 25 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in Sunday’s win.

Drummond did not play in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Jazz and will not play on Monday night. Adem Bona, who recorded his first double-double and a career-high five blocks, could be the replacement in the starting lineup. The 76ers can also go small, shifting Guerschon Yabusele to the five, but Bona would still experience an increase in playing time.

George is receiving treatment and continuing to consult with physicians. Monday will be his third-straight missed game and he’s set to miss Wednesday’s game against the Raptors. The 34-year-old small forward will be re-evaluated Friday, which would be the earliest he could return now. Justin Edwards will likely continue to start with George sidelined.

Maxey will miss a fourth-straight game, which means more run for the likes of Justin Edwards, Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker IV. If Drummond can’t go, the Sixers could turn to Adem Bona to start at center. Bona finished with 14 points and 15 boards across 32 minutes in Sunday’s win over Utah.

Maxey has missed Philadelphia’s last three games with a lower back sprain and has also been dealing with a lingering finger injury. However, a return to the court may not be far away, as the 76ers guard went through an on-court workout before Sunday’s win over the Jazz. Justin Edwards will likely head to the bench if Maxey can play in Atlanta.

Gobert returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup after a 10-game absence, and, as expected, the veteran center was under a minutes restriction. The 7-foot-1 pivot only playing 20 minutes was good news for Naz Reid managers, as he tallied 20 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench. Reid’s fantasy value will be fine, especially if the Timberwolves are conservative with Gobert’s playing time.

While Randle’s scoring output was limited on Sunday, the rebounds and assists made up for it. He hit double digits in assists for the first time this season, and Randle’s production has increased in that category recently. Accounting for at least nine assists in three straight games, he’s averaged 7.2 per game since the All-Star break. By comparison, Randle is averaging 4.6 per game for the season. And since the break, he has been a fifth-round player in eight-cat formats.

On a night when eight Timberwolves scored in double figures, DiVincenzo shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and scored 17 points. He’s reached double figures in six straight games and has been a top-40 player in nine-cat formats since returning from a toe injury. DiVincenzo was a starter before his injury, but Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has decided to bring him off the bench. This approach has boosted Mike Conley’s fantasy value, as he has been an eighth-round player since February 27. Conley finished Sunday’s win with 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 23 minutes.

Edwards played well on a night when the Timberwolves shared the ball, as five players attempted between 10 and 15 shots. Before Sunday, the last time he needed fewer than 20 attempts to make 10 was December 8 against the Warriors. Since the All-Star break, Edwards has been a top 40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, and he’s gotten the turnovers in check. Averaging 3.3 per game for the season, Edwards has that number down to 2.2 since the break.

Grimes continues leading the way for the undermanned 76ers, scoring 25 points or more in three of his last five outings. Since the All-Star break, he has provided top-75 value in eight-cat formats. And on nights when the 76ers are without Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, as was the case Sunday, Grimes spends more time on the ball as a primary playmaker. He’s rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, a percentage that should increase before Philadelphia’s four-game Week 19.

Walker, who grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, put on a show Sunday night. The former first-round pick tallied season-highs in points, rebounds, and assists and helped lead the 76ers to a win. With Tyrese Maxey and Paul George dealing with injuries, Walker will have more opportunities before the season concludes. One good night doesn’t automatically make him a player worth adding for Philadelphia’s four-game Week 19, but he should be on the streaming radar for managers competing in deep leagues.

With Andre Drummond hampered by an illness, Bona had the best game of his rookie campaign on Sunday. In addition to recording his first double-double, the second-round pick established career-highs in points (14), rebounds (14), steals (two) and blocked shots (five) tonight. Drummond only played 10 minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds and one blocked shot. With Joel Embiid (knee) done for the season, Bona’s playing time should increase as the 76ers attempt to improve their chances of holding onto their top-six protected first-round pick.

Gobert is back in the lineup after missing 10 games with a back injury. His return means Naz Reid will head to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a hit. However, Reid will continue to provide solid value; it’s just that his ceiling is lower. The other four starters are unchanged.

Sunday’s game against the Jazz will be Lowry’s 11th on the shelf in a row, increasing to 12 on Monday. However, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said his veteran point guard is feeling better, so the team will look to begin the ramp-up process then. With the 76ers trending toward prioritizing doing what it can to hold onto its first-round pick (top-6 protected), Lowry’s minutes may be limited even if he’s cleared to return.

Gobert has missed 10 straight games, but he’s got a chance to return against San Antonio. Luka Garza (ankle) is questionable too, but even if he’s available, Garza is unlikely to see any meaningful playing time. If Gobert is unable to play, Naz Reid should continue filling in for him down low.

The Timberwolves reserves outscored their Heat counterparts by a 37-35 margin, with DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (12 points, two rebounds, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers) leading the way. Since returning from his toe injury, DiVincenzo has provided top-30 value in nine-cat formats. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, the Timberwolves guard will provide reliable fantasy value. He should be rostered in more than 72 percent of Yahoo! leagues, even with the Timberwolves only playing three games during Week 19.

No singular Timberwolves player stood out offensively on Friday, as seven players scored between 12 and 15 points. However, Reid continues to provide solid value with Rudy Gobert (back) out of the lineup. Since February 13 (Gobert last played on February 12), Reid has averaged 18.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game. Despite shooting just 40.4 percent from the field, Reid has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Randle finished Friday’s win one assist shy of a triple-double, which would have been his first as a Timberwolves player. He was one of seven players to score between 12 and 15 points, as the balanced offensive effort was enough to get Minnesota its third straight road victory. Since returning to the lineup on March 2, Randle has been a sixth-round player in eight-cat formats (eighth-round in nine-cat). He’ll look to end Week 18 on a high when the Timberwolves host the Spurs on Sunday.

Edwards did not look like himself for most of Friday’s game and was even late to the court for the third quarter. Following the win, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said his star guard was dealing with an illness, hence his not starting the second half. Edwards didn’t offer much value offensively, with eight of his 10 shots coming from beyond the arc, but he did contribute 13 rebounds and six assists. Hopefully, he’ll be good for Sunday’s home game against the Spurs.

Oubre Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV (17 points, five triples) were the lone bright spots for the Sixers in an otherwise putrid performance. Philly’s other four starters combined for just 33 points, and Philly dropped its 41st game in blowout fashion. With the Sixers already looking ahead to next season, we’re unlikely to see much of Tyrese Maxey or Paul George for the rest of the campaign, which means Oubre Jr. could see big minutes and usage down the stretch. The games might not mean anything for the Sixers in real life, but Oubre Jr. could post meaningful numbers for fantasy managers during “silly season.”

He also added a rebound and three assists. Has Walker IV officially entered the “silly season” conversation? The Sixers are 20 games under .500, Joel Embiid is done for the season, and Tyrese Maxey and Paul George are shutdown candidates. Philadelphia will need to lean on guys like Walker IV to fill in the missing spots in the lineup, so don’t rule out that he could make some noise as a points and threes specialist for the final stretch of the season. A resurgent end of season run for Walker IV would certainly be an interesting topic for Paul George’s podcast.
