Injured during the 76ers’ November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined.

The 76ers won’t have Paul George for Wednesday’s game, as he’s sitting out due to knee injury management. With Kelly Oubre Jr. also out, Edwards will make his second start of the season and first since October 28. Even with the promotion, he is not as valuable to fantasy managers as Quentin Grimes, who will again figure prominently in the bench rotation.

Embiid was initially doubtful, so his fourth straight absence isn’t surprising. Andre Drummond should be in line for another start, and he should continue to be rostered in every league as long as Embiid is sidelined.

White didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, as he continues to struggle in that regard. However, the all-around production is why he remains such a valuable player for category league managers. White recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday and has been a top-15 player over the past week. And he’s shot 44.2 percent from the field, which aligns with his career number (44.1). The shots will fall at a higher clip eventually, and fantasy managers can still receive solid value from White as they wait for that to happen.

After a two-game stretch in which he totaled 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, Pritchard has scored at least 20 in three straight. During this three-game run, the Celtics guard has averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 6.0 three-pointers while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.9 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for top-20 value, so managers who may have panicked after that poor two-game stretch can calm down.

Brown led all scorers with 29 points and shot a respectable percentage, but the turnovers were an issue. He committed a season-high eight, one more than his tally in an October 24 loss to the Knicks. Brown is averaging a career-worst 3.5 turnovers per game through 15 games, which is why he’s barely hanging onto top-100 status in nine-cat formats. However, Brown has been more valuable by four rounds in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50, according to Basketball Monster.

Embiid is on track to miss a fourth straight game due to right knee injury management. Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup and will retain that role until Embiid is healthy enough to play. Drummond should be rostered wherever possible.

George logged 21 minutes in his season debut on Monday, but he’ll be held out against Toronto. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should suit up against the Bucks on Thursday. Quentin Grimes or Justin Edwards should fill in as a starter, with Grimes playing a larger role regardless of who gets the nod.

While he wasn’t in the starting lineup to begin Monday’s game, Grimes was effectively the 76ers’ “sixth starter.” Replacing Dominick Barlow in the lineup to start the third quarter, he played 36 minutes, with only Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond and VJ Edgecombe playing more. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Grimes will be worth holding onto for the foreseeable future. In addition to Paul George’s minutes restriction, the 76ers have to navigate Kelly Oubre Jr.'s (knee) absence. Grimes won’t lack opportunities, and he’s providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats.
PHI • Center • #1

Drummond continues to provide solid value as Joel Embiid’s replacement in the starting lineup. On Monday, the veteran center recorded his fourth double-double in as many games and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Drummond has provided fourth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats over his last four games. With Embiid lacking a definitive timeline to return, adding Drummond would be a good idea.

Making his first appearance of the season, George was on a minutes restriction on Monday. Given the time missed, it’s unsurprising that he was rusty offensively. However, the veteran wing did provide solid value in the rebound and blocked shot categories. George was used at both forward positions, starting the second half at the four with Quentin Grimes replacing Dominick Barlow (7/1/0/3). Obviously, George’s restriction isn’t going away anytime soon. And with a midweek back-to-back, fantasy managers should anticipate him sitting out either Wednesday’s game against Toronto or Thursday’s game in Milwaukee.

Maxey came up big for the 76ers when they needed him most, scoring 14 of his game-high 39 points during the fourth quarter. There were two turnovers within six seconds of each other in the final minute, but the point guard received some welcome help from his teammates to close out the comeback victory. Even with Paul George back in the lineup, Philadelphia’s offense still runs through Maxey, which is good news for those who have him rostered.
PHI • Forward • #8

At long last, George will make his season debut on Monday. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from the veteran forward in his first game back. He steps into the void left by Kelly Oubre Jr., who is out with a sprained left knee. The other change to the lineup is Barlow, who began the season as a starter and will resume those duties with Trendon Watford heading to the bench.

Brown capped his seventh 30-point outing in 14 games with a two-handed slam in the closing seconds, putting metaphorical cherry on a dominant all-around performance. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone poured in 16 points before halftime and finished with 17 more after the break, hoisting a season-high 33 shots in the process. He also grabbed double-digit boards for the first time this year to record his first double-double of the season. The Celtics open a three-game week with a home-and-home set against the rebuilding Nets before facing the Magic next weekend.

White helped Boston build a commanding lead early on with 15 points and seven rebounds in the opening half as the Celtics shot 49 percent (25-of-51) and 9-of-20 (45 percent) from three-point range during that span. He drilled a key three-pointer with just over one minute remaining and hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 ticks left to help Boston hold off a late rally from Los Angeles. The 31-year-old point guard has performed at a third-round level for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks through 14 contests.

Pritchard knocked down eight of 13 three-point attempts, including four after halftime, to eclipse the 30-point mark for the first time this year. He calmly sank his first free throws of the evening with 1.6 seconds remaining to extend the lead to three and seal the victory. The 27-year-old guard has been inconsistent from deep this season, averaging 2.5 made threes per game after hitting 3.2 per game last year. He’s averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 contests.

Embiid remains out for a third consecutive game as he recovers from a sore right knee. Given his lower-body injury issues in the past, this is definitely concerning for the 76ers and for fantasy managers. Andre Drummond should serve as the starting center as long as Embiid is out.

With George being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, this may be the closest he’s been to appearing in a game this season. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should assume the veteran forward’s minutes will be limited. George’s availability impacts Trendon Watford the most, as he’s been the most recent starter at power forward. However, with Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) out, Watford’s opportunities may not be impacted.

Last year’s first-round pick is expected to play with the Blue Coats on Thursday and Saturday night, “so he can get minutes and continue acclimating.” McCain has struggled to adapt to playing with his bulky knee brace and is also still on a minutes restriction, so the Sixers believe it makes more sense for him to continue that adjustment period in the G-League. He could be back up on the Sixers’ bench next week.

White was one of two Celtics players to score 20 or more points on Wednesday. His total likely could’ve been greater if not for a lopsided victory limiting him to only 26 minutes of game action. Nonetheless, he was efficient, productive from deep, and was involved in several areas throughout the game. White has now tallied four straight games with at least 16 points. He’ll look to stay productive against the Clippers on Sunday.

A blowout win limited the former Finals MVP to just 25 minutes of game action on Wednesday. Still, he was productive in his time on the floor, scoring efficiently from both inside and outside the arc while tallying more rebounds and assists than his season averages entering Wednesday’s contest. He didn’t record any stocks for the second straight game, but still had a fine night overall. A more competitive game on Sunday against the Clippers could lead to a more typical scoring performance from Brown.

Pritchard bounced back from a couple of inefficient five-point performances by tallying his second-highest scoring total of the season. The veteran guard matched his season-high in threes during his 30 minutes of game action and came up just one assist shy of his third double-double this season. Pritchard had been playing very well during November up until the two previous games. With a strong showing against Memphis, he seems to be back on track.

Embiid did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics due to a sore right knee. It’s important to note that it was the left knee that gave him trouble in the past, with the former MVP undergoing another procedure during the offseason.

Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup with Adem Bona serving as his backup.

George is making progress in his recovery from offseason knee surgery, but he remains without a concrete return timeline. He’ll be re-evaluated later this week, with Charania reporting that team doctors want George to further strengthen his left quad muscle to help support his left knee. So, nothing has really changed for those who have him rostered. Continue to stash him in an IL+ slot and hold out hope that a return isn’t too far away. Trendon Watford struggled in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics but should remain the starting power forward for now.

Edwards played a pivotal role for Philadelphia down the home stretch in this one, knocking down 5-of-6 three-point attempts, including a pair down the home stretch to help erase an eight-point deficit over the final six minutes. His only miss of the night set up teammate Kelly Oubre Jr.’s go-ahead layup with just 8.7 second left in the contest. The 21-year-old saw a season-high 26 minutes in this one with franchise cornerstone Joel Embiid out with right knee soreness and Jared McCain limited to just six minutes while dealing with thumb and knee issues. The 76ers are back in action on Friday evening with a road tilt against the Pistons and a red-hot Cade Cunningham.

Brown struggled to find his shot in the early stages of this one, going 1-of-7 from the field in the first half, but managed to get to the charity stripe for five free throws to salvage his scoring line. He came alive in the second half, sparking a 36-point third quarter for the Celtics, and finishing the second half with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. He drained a pair of free throws with 33.5 second left to tie the ballgame, but it was Derrick White that took the final shot for the Celtics as time expired. The 29-year-old superstar has enjoyed one of the highest usage rates in the entire league this season and is averaging nearly 28 points per-game through 12 contests, delivering eighth-round value for fantasy purposes.

For just the second time this season, Simons recorded a 20-point game, with the 25 matching his tally in an October 27 win over New Orleans. All due respect to the Pelicans, but putting up an efficient 25 points on the Magic is a different matter. Over his last three games, Simons is shooting 19-of-37 from the field, and as a result, his season percentage is approaching 44 percent. His overall fantasy value remains low, but this three-game stretch was much-needed for Simons as he looks to establish himself in Boston. The Celtics begin a three-game Week 4 in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Regardless of how many points he scores, White consistently provides fantasy managers with excellent value. Sunday was his first game with at least 20 points since Boston’s season opener against the 76ers, and he also provided solid value in assists, steals and three-pointers. White is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and history suggests he’s capable of being even better as the season progresses. Boston plays three games during Week 4, but only one will be played after Wednesday.

While Brown’s streak of 30-point games ended at three, he’s scored 28 or more in six of his last seven. The Celtics wing has been a better option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat for most of his career, and that has been the case this season as well. While providing eighth-round value in the latter, Brown has been four rounds better in eight-cat. The key to closing the gap is turnovers, of which JB’s averaging 3.6 per game. He had four on Sunday, which was the lone negative to his night.

Since going through a three-game stretch in which he shot 3-of-21 from beyond the arc, Pritchard has found his stroke. Making five of his eight attempts, the Celtics guard has gone 11-of-25 from deep over the last three games, scoring at least 18 points in each.

Walsh came into November as a forgotten man in Boston’s rotation, playing just four total minutes in October. However, he played 19 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday and then was up to 24 minutes on Wednesday. These were not garbage-time minutes either, as Walsh checked into the game in the first quarter. He was a plus-27 on the night and received praise from head coach Joe Mazzulla after the game, so it’s possible that Walsh could pick up extra minutes at the expense of Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman going forward.

Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats.

While Minott can still have bouts of inconsistency, he’s developing into a player who should be considered in more fantasy leagues. Wednesday’s performance was his best, with the forward notching a career-high point total and three steals. Minott is rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and, understandably, some are hesitant to buy into him fully. But the potential to have nights like Wednesday may entice some to roll the dice on him.
