Lowry hasn’t suited up since February 9, but there is a chance that he returns to the lineup against New York. Lowry wasn’t playing a significant role prior to his injury, but the 76ers’ rotation looks entirely different now. It’s unclear what his role will look when he returns to the lineup.

McCollum suffered a right foot bone contusion on March 23, and he won’t suit up again this season. He has already missed the Pelicans’ last three games, and there is no reason for him to play through any ailments since their trying to improve their lottery odds. Jose Alvarado will continue to start at point guard for the rest of the season. The veteran guard returned 10th-round value in nine-cat leagues, declining in essentially every area of his game in his age-33 season. McCollum is entering the final year of his contract with the Pelicans in 2025-26 and will probably only amount to a late-round flier in fantasy leagues.

Williamson has already missed the Pelicans’ last five games, and he will remain sidelined for the final two weeks of the regular season. He suffered a low back bone contusion on March 19, and with New Orleans looking to improve their lottery odds, there is no reason for Williamson to play through any injury. Bruce Brown should continue to start for the rest of the season when available. Williamson suited up for just 30 games this season, providing ninth-round value in nine-category leagues mainly due to a horrific 65.6 percent showing from the charity stripe. It’s possible we see more Williamson trade rumors this offseason after another disastrous season for the Pelicans. He’s under contract through the 2027-2028 season.

Council IV filled in for the injured Guerschon Yabusele, and he made the most of his opportunity with a game-high rebound total.

Walker IV entered the starting five in place of Quentin Grimes and led the team in scoring. Walker IV knocked down 10-of-18 shots, and he got teammates involved with a team-high assist total in the process. Philadelphia has just seven games left in the season, and Walker IV is a guy who could see a major bump in playing time for that final stretch due to numerous and mounting injuries.

Brooks Jr. provided a nice boost off New Orleans’ bench to lead his team in scoring while delivering plenty of quality peripherals in the process. Brooks Jr. is one of a handful of Pelicans players who should see big minutes down the stretch of a lost season.

Brown shot just 1-of-8 from the floor and 0-of-2 from beyond the arc, but he made up for his poor scoring with monster peripheral contributions. Across his last two, Brown has averaged 10.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 swats. New Orleans is dealing with a multitude of injuries, which means Brown could be in line for big minutes down the stretch.

The 76ers are without Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Walker and Council will fill the resulting voids, and both players are worth streaming in deep leagues. Also, Butler should play plenty since Jeff Dowtin Jr. is inactive.

Edwards continues to produce for the 76ers, extending his streak of games with at least 17 points to seven. Over the last two weeks, the undrafted rookie has offered fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. Edwards is rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so standard league managers have not been asleep at the wheel. But there are still spots where he can be found. Even with Philadelphia playing three games during Week 22, now is an excellent time for managers competing for league titles to add Edwards.

Before Saturday’s game, it was reported that Andre Drummond (toe) would miss at least another five games. That put him out of play for Week 22, which boosts Bona’s fantasy value. The rookie was very productive against the Heat, recording his second double-double and blocking three shots for the second straight game. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bona has provided top 50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Despite the 76ers playing three games during Week 22, now is the time to add Bona.

With Jeff Dowtin Jr. inactive for two-way contract reasons, Butler returned to the starting lineup on Saturday. His 10 assists were a season-high, and Jared has reached double figures in points in consecutive games for the first time in nearly three weeks. Dowtin can only be active for two more games this season; unless Philadelphia gives him a standard contract, Butler will have more opportunities to start. An 11th-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, he’s rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

After making his first appearance in nearly a month on March 21, Payton has reached double figures in assists in two straight outings. He racked up 14 in a March 24 win over the 76ers and had another 10 against the Warriors. Payton should not be rostered since he isn’t guaranteed to be active. When he is active, the veteran point guard serves as Jose Alvarado’s backup. Alvarado played 27 minutes on Friday, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, and one blocked shot. Only rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Alvarado is the player who should be added by fantasy managers needing a point guard at this stage in the season.

Missi has grabbed 10 rebounds in three of his last five outings, recording two double-doubles. However, providing value in three categories, points, rebounds and blocked shots, limits the rookie center’s fantasy ceiling. Over the past two weeks, Missi has been ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. At this point, he is essentially a specialist for managers needing production in specific categories, with Kelly Olynyk (6/6/2/2) being the superior option despite playing poorly against the Warriors. The Pelicans host the Hornets on Sunday in their final game of Week 21.

The stat line Brown recorded on Friday was what fantasy managers grew accustomed to during his time with the Nuggets, even if this performance came in a losing effort. The Pelicans were without CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson, and those absences boosted Brown’s usage. How valuable he is for the rest of the season comes down to his availability and that of fellow vets McCollum and Williamson. On Sunday, the Pelicans host the Hornets in a matchup of lottery-bound teams, which sets up well for Brown regarding fantasy value.

Walker missed four games with a concussion, then he exited early after playing 11 minutes in his return and has missed Philadelphia’s last three games. It appears that he is on track to play against Miami on Saturday, which would likely take away minutes from Ricky Council IV. It is also worth noting that Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond were all partial participants in practice, but there still isn’t a timeline for their return. At this point, is anyone expecting them to play again this season? Philly is in a tight race at the top of the lottery, and they’re trying to stay in the top six to avoid their pick going to the Thunder. Playing anyone that is going to help them win games would be counterproductive.

Hawkins exited early from Monday’s game against Philadelphia after playing 24 minutes as a starter. However, it won’t keep him out against Golden State.

It has been a rough season for Hawkins, but he may get the chance to finish on a high note.

Murphy injured his right shoulder during a March 17 game against the Pistons, and a labral tear was discovered in the ensuing MRI. A timeline for his return is unknown, but the Pelicans announced Wednesday that the procedure was successful. Murphy had a career year in 2024-25, averaging 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers per game. With Brandon Ingram traded to Toronto at the February deadline, the Pelicans clearly view Murphy as a critical piece in the team’s rebuild.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Yabusele plays quality minutes. However, those who may have hoped to see him log 30 minutes or more consistently may be disappointed. He’s played 29 or fewer in four of his last five appearances, as it’s probably in Philadelphia’s best interest to go with younger (and less proven) players the rest of the way. Adem Bona (six points, six rebounds, three assists and three blocks) played 23 minutes off the bench. While he did tweak his ankle during the second half of Wednesday’s defeat, the rookie remained in the game. His playing time will likely increase with the 76ers looking toward the future and increasing the likelihood that they’ll hold onto their top-six protected lottery pick.

Grimes didn’t have his best night shooting the ball, making two of his seven attempts from inside the arc, but the overall stat line was solid.

With Philadelphia ending Week 21 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, Grimes may miss one of those games for rest reasons. If so, Jared Butler (14/5/4 with four three-pointers in 26 minutes) would have added fantasy value.

With the 76ers focused on strengthening their chances of holding onto their 2025 first-round pick, Edwards will play plenty between now and the end of the season. The good news for fantasy managers is that his minutes have not been “glorified cardio.” Over the past two weeks, Edwards has offered fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. The 76ers end Week 21 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, and fantasy managers should have Edwards on their radars.
