Missi hasn’t played in two and a half weeks due to a left calf strain, but is set to make his return in Saturday’s game against the Jazz. The 21-year-old center is likely to be on a minutes restriction in his first game back.

Missi has not appeared in a game since February 9, with the second-year center being sidelined by a strained left calf. If he can play on Saturday, that could result in fewer minutes for DeAndre Jordan, but Missi is likely to be under a minutes restriction.

After making his first two appearances of the season as a starter, Murray will miss Saturday’s game for injury management reasons. Derik Queen was the starter in the games before Murray’s return, but his struggles may prompt interim head coach James Borrego to move Jeremiah Fears into the lineup instead.

Saturday’s game will be the fifth that Murphy has missed with a right shoulder contusion. With Dejounte Murray also out, for injury management reasons, it’s possible that Derik Queen returns to the starting lineup. However, fellow rookie Jeremiah Fears is another option for the Pelicans if they prefer to start a point guard.

Efficiency was still as issue for Murray in his second game of the season, but he was better in other areas. There aren’t many players that can match Dejounte’s combination of assists and steals. He logged 26 minutes in this game, which was more than enough for the Pels to get a third straight win. He may sit for the rematch with the Jazz on Saturday to ensure he is available to play the Clippers on Sunday, which would likely allow Jeremiah Fears to start.

Bey has had an incredible season for the Pels after missing all of last year, and this was his best performance. His red-hot shooting led to a new season high and the second-highest scoring outing of his career. He’ll continue to play a significant role for New Orleans for the remainder of the season, and while he may not have more performances like this, he should be considered a must-roster player.

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.

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

Williamson had another strong game as a scorer, having finished with at least 25 points in three of his last four games. However, it’s his continued availability that has been the most impressive. He hasn’t missed a game since mid-December, which has extended the longest streak without missing a game of his career. It’s unfortunate that Williamson’s having the healthiest year of his career in a lost season for the Pelicans, but it should give managers optimism when drafting him next season.

Suiting up for the first time in nearly 13 months, Murray was immediately moved into the starting unit. The Pelicans said he’d be on a minutes restriction, and he ended up logging 25 minutes, which isn’t a strict limit. It was a strong outing considering the layoff, and he should be considered a must-roster player if he’s going to continue to play this much. Next up is a trip to Utah on Thursday, and with a back-to-back this weekend, he will likely only play one of those games.

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

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.

Murray is making his season debut on Tuesday, and he’ll do so as a starter. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much too soon from the guard.

Maxey remains one of the most consistent scorers in the fantasy landscape, topping 25 points in seven of eight games since the start of February.
