Porter was held to just 10 second-half points as Golden State pulled away for a relatively easy win. The 27-year-old scoring machine has generated 24 points or more in nine of 11 games since December 1. He’s delivered top-25 overall fantasy value this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks through 26 games.

Dëmin knocked down a season-high seven three-pointers as he finished with double-digit shot attempts for the fifth consecutive contest. The encouraging sign for fantasy managers here is that his role hasn’t diminished with Cam Thomas back in the fold after missing nearly two months due to injury.

On the heels of an impressive 30-point effort on Sunday in his return from a 20-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Thomas was limited to just 18 minutes off the bench on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old guard still managed to put up 12 shots but only three of them were from beyond the arc. He’ll likely be on a minutes restriction for a couple additional games before Brooklyn feels comfortable ramping up his usage.

The latest development for Embiid is that the 31-year-old center has added a right ankle sprain to his various ailments. If he can overcome his right ankle and right knee issues, he could return against the Grizzlies Tuesday. If not, Andre Drummond will start in his place again.

Maxey was one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia in this one as the Thunder threw a variety of defenders at him but were still unable to contain the speedy scoring threat. The 25-year-old guard finished just shy of another 30-point performance despite going just 2-of-7 from three-point range. He’s clearly taken over as the 76ers primary building block moving forward and has delivered first-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 30.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks through 28 games this season. Philadelphia is on the road for three games this upcoming week with matchups against the Grizzlies, Mavericks and Knicks.

George knocked down four three-pointers but wasn’t much of a threat against his former organization as the Thunder’s athleticism and depth proved to be a mismatch for the 76ers all night.

Thomas made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup following a nearly two-month absence due to a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old scoring machine was limited to just 19 minutes in this one and figures to have a governor on his workload for the next couple games. He still managed to hoist 15 shot attempts and went 3-of-8 from three-point range in addition to getting to the free throw line for nine attempts. The Nets are back in action on Monday against the Warriors before facing the Rockets, Wizards and Nuggets to close out a four-game week.

Porter shook off a sluggish start to knock down all five of his second half shot attempts, including a trio of three-pointers, to finish with 18 points down the home stretch. The 27-year-old has been a consistent scoring threat this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks through 25 games. The Nets are 7-4 since the start of December and are looking like a potential playoff team.

George struggled with his shooting for a third consecutive game and is now shooting 12-of-39 from the field over that span. The inefficiency led to a below-average scoring performance from the decorated veteran forward. Yet, even without the scoring, George hit the glass hard to earn his first double-double of the season, and also tied a season high in assists to finish with a solid outing from a fantasy basketball perspective. Still, fantasy managers are hoping he can regain his shooting touch soon and return to form as a scorer.

Maxey struggled with his shooting efficiency in Friday’s loss. He started and ended the game cold, while 18 of his points came in the middle two quarters of the game. Although he was inaccurate overall, his five triples were helpful in helping him finish the night with a good fantasy basketball performance, as was his facilitating. Maxey has now shot 12-of-38 from the floor in his last two appearances, which were both Sixers losses. He’ll have a chance to bounce back on Sunday against the Thunder.

Embiid’s second 30-point game of the season came in a losing effort. The former league MVP had performed well on the offensive end through three quarters, but with just four fourth-quarter points on 1-of-4 shooting, he was one of several Sixers who failed to deliver down the stretch, as they were outscored by the Bulls 17-28 in the frame before losing by seven points. But from a fantasy basketball standpoint, Embiid has shown signs of being the dominant scorer of recent seasons; he’s averaging 29.8 points per game over his last four appearances, and has logged at least 30 minutes in each.

With Barlow and Edgecombe back in the lineup, the Sixers’ opening unit will look different from the one that played in the team’s 114-106 loss to the Nets in its most recent game. Their returns move Jabari Walker and Jared McCain back to the Philadelphia bench, where they’ll join Quentin Grimes to form a stronger reserve unit. The Sixers lost their only other matchup with the Bulls back in November, but will have a chance to avenge it on Friday and inch closer to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Thomas has been sidelined for nearly two months, and it seems he is inching closer to a return.

Since then, Dëmin has hit double figures in four straight, recording his second 20-point game on Tuesday. While there are going to be moments when the Nets look to evaluate Nolan Traoré (five points, one rebound and two assists in 14 minutes) and Ben Saraf (DNP-CD) at the point, Dëmin has seemingly separated himself from his fellow rookies.
