Embiid is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Thursday’s game. He played 26 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers, and fantasy managers should expect to see Embiid take on a similar workload. Andre Drummond will likely fall out of the rotation entirely, with Adem Bona serving as the backup.

Johnson suffered a hip injury in the first quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Wizards and will not play in the rematch. It makes sense since the Hawks should be able to beat the Wizards without Johnson. His absence should mean extra minutes and usage for Jonathan Kuminga, who looked great in his Hawks debut on Tuesday.

Embiid returned to the 76ers’ lineup on Tuesday, logging 26 minutes in a win over the Pacers. He should take on a similar workload against the Heat, and the former MVP doesn’t need to play heavy minutes to provide elite fantasy value.

Risacher is dealing with a right hip contusion. If he can’t go after logging 28 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, the Hawks would likely lean on Mouhamed Gueye a bit more, along with Jonathan Kuminga. Of the two, Kuminga is the one whom fantasy managers should seek on the waiver wire.

Alexander-Walker has a sprained left foot, but the good news is that the door is open for him to play against the Wizards. If he can’t go, there will be more opportunities available to Gabe Vincent and Keaton Wallace, while Buddy Hield could move into the back end of the rotation.

Johnson suffered a left hip flexor injury during Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, exiting after playing six minutes. Jonathan Kuminga picked up additional minutes in his first appearance as a Hawk and was outstanding, scoring 27 points. Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye would also pick up minutes if Johnson sits, but Kuminga offers the highest fantasy upside.

Okongwu struggled mightily with his shot, but he was still able to record his second straight double-double. He fell one assist shy of matching his season high for assists as well. This was only the eighth time this season that Okongwu has taken at least 17 shots, and when he has, he hasn’t shot this poorly. He’ll look to be better in the rematch on Thursday.

This wasn’t a great outing for Gueye, but he was able to haul in double digit rebounds in just 18 minutes. However, there is upside for him to do more moving forward. Jalen Johnson (hip) exited early, which allowed Gueye to start the second half. If Johnson ends up missing time, Gueye could occupy the starting role temporarily. However, Jonathan Kuminga ended up playing more minutes and would be the better option for fantasy managers.

It has been over a month since Kuminga last suited up, and when he did, it was for the Warriors. In his first game with Atlanta, it appears Golden State gave up on him too quickly. Sure, it’s only one game, but he was incredible in his debut. Plus, Jalen Johnson (hip) exited in the first quarter. Kuminga didn’t start the second half, but he should take on extended minutes if Johnson ends up remaining sidelined more than just the end of this game.

Three 76ers scored at least 23 points in Tuesday’s victory, with Edgecombe joining Tyrese Maxey (32) and Joel Embiid (27). The rookie guard has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, continuing to provide solid production as the 76ers continue without the suspended Paul George. Philadelphia returns home for its next game, Thursday night against the Heat.

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. Even better for fantasy managers was the overall line, with the 76ers’ guard finishing one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. 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.

Johnson only played six minutes before his exit, which will open up plenty of minutes for the reserves. Jonathan Kuminga, who is making his debut for the team, should see a nice bump in minutes, while Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye could play larger roles as well.

While Kuminga isn’t guaranteed to return on Tuesday against the Wizards given his questionable listing, he should return to the court sometime soon. The Hawks said the 23-year-old power forward would be re-evaluated this week. Kuminga will likely require a minutes ramp up after missing so much time.

Embiid has missed the last five games with various injuries. While he could return Tuesday against the Pacers, the 31-year-old’s status is still up in the air given his questionable listing. Andre Drummond started and had six points and nine rebounds in 22 minutes in Embiid’s absence on Sunday against the Timberwolves. Drummond would likely start again if Embiid remains out Tuesday.

Grimes hadn’t had more than 14 points in a game since January 7 against the Wizards, when he had 16 points. The 25-year-old shooting guard had a remarkable game on Sunday with the point, assist, and three-point totals all well exceeding his seasons averages. Grimes’ upside remains limited, though he has been seeing more minutes since Paul George was suspended.

Edgecombe was the perfect second banana to Tyrese Maxey in this game. The 20-year-old shooting guard had 24 points on 18 field goal attempts and made six three-pointers in the win over the Timberwolves on Sunday. Edgecombe has provided eighth-round per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster.

The play of the night came midway through the third quarter when Maxey drove the lane and dunked with his left hand over two Timberwolves. The 25-year-old point guard bounced back in a big way after having 27 points in the loss to the Pelicans on Saturday. Maxey has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The 76ers have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday.

McCollum moved into the starting lineup Sunday and played 32 minutes. While the Hawks felt the change was necessary after losing to the Heat on Friday, it’s not a major difference for fantasy purposes because McCollum was already playing around 30 minutes per game when coming off the bench. The 34-year-old shooting guard has been excellent in his role lately, providing top-50 overall value over the last two weeks.

Okongwu continues to produce since returning from a gruesome mouth injury. The 25-year-old center had 13 points and 11 rebounds in the win over the Nets on Sunday.

The Hawks trailed 104-97 with five minutes left in regulation before leading a furious comeback to win 115-104. Down the stretch, Johnson either scored or had an assist on all but two of the Hawks’ last 18 points. The 24-year-old small forward has provided 15th-overall per game value this season. The Hawks have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.

The Hawks have been successful in recent weeks with a closing lineup that includes McCollum, with Zaccharie Risacher moving to the bench.

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. He’s shouldering an even greater offensive role with Joel Embiid on the shelf due to a lingering right knee issue. The 25-year-old scoring machine is averaging 28.9 points through 54 games this season, delivering first-round fantasy value in the process. The 76ers have a quick turnaround when they face the Timberwolves on Sunday before a three-game week against the Pacers, Heat and Celtics.

Oubre has seen an uptick in creation possessions with Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf, attempting at least 12 shots in seven of nine games since January 31. The 30-year-old forward has topped 20 points just once during that span but he’s been a consistent double-digit scoring threat for the last couple weeks.

McCollum was one of the reasons the Hawks were able to bounce back from a 16-point first quarter, shooting 4-of-7 from the field in the second. Unfortunately for him and the Hawks, the veteran guard didn’t offer much production after halftime, and Miami eventually pulled away for a 31-point victory. Atlanta’s need for bench scoring has preserved McCollum’s fantasy value, as he has been close to a top-50 player over the past two weeks.

Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points in 31 games this season, eight more than his total in his first six NBA seasons. He didn’t record any defensive stats against the Heat on Friday, but NAW continues to offer consistent fantasy value. Rostered in 59 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Alexander-Walker can provide some 10-team league managers with excellent value the rest of the season as the Hawks look to earn a playoff berth.

While Johnson finished Friday’s defeat with his 11th triple-double of the season, the efficiency was lacking. He kept the turnovers in check, but the 6-of-22 night from the field was one of the worst this season for the Hawks’ All-Star forward. The good news for Johnson managers is that Atlanta has another game to play in Week 17, at home against the struggling Nets on Sunday.

Okongwu has reached double figures in four of the five games he’s played since returning from a mouth injury, with Friday’s performance being his most productive. However, while the Hawks’ center recorded a complete stat line, the rebounding production was a letdown. That said, Okongwu could be in for a big finish to Week 17, as the Hawks host the rebuilding Nets on Sunday.

Payne spent time during the preseason with the Pacers but has played in Serbia since then. However, he is “securing a buyout,” which will allow him to sign with Philadelphia.

Following a one-game absence with an ankle injury, Daniels was back in the lineup to take on Charlotte. He didn’t provide his typical dose of defensive production, but he was able to have a strong game offensively. This was just the fifth time this season Daniels has scored at least 20 points in a game, and he did it in just 26 minutes. Daniels has struggled as a scorer this year, and it is unlikely he is able to replicate this type of performance often.
