In addition to Joel Embiid, the 76ers will be without Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George for Monday’s game. Yabusele and Edwards move into the starting lineup, and both players are worth streaming due to how shorthanded Philadelphia is. Drummond and Grimes should also be rostered wherever they’re available.

George is officially out with a sore left groin. Due to the 76ers’ many absences, rookie Justin Edwards will likely move into the starting lineup. While a risky streaming play, he’s worth a roll of the dice due to the state of the 76ers’ rotation.

Huerter did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Pacers and did not practice on Monday. He’s reportedly still dealing with some soreness in his knee, especially when cutting laterally. Dalen Terry and Tre Jones are in line for additional minutes, especially with Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) already out for the rest of the season.

White is dealing with a sprained left (non-shooting hand) thumb, but the probable tag suggests he’ll be allowed to play. With Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) done for the season, Dalen Terry may be the next man up if White sits. Terry should play consistent rotation minutes the rest of the season, but he hasn’t been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Ayo Dosunmu has already been ruled out, and Kevin Huerter is questionable too, which means Chicago’s backcourt depth could be razor thin on Tuesday. Tre Jones and Dalen Terry could be in line for big minutes against the Cavs depending on who is ultimately sidelined.

Both Ball and Kevin Huerter (knee) missed Sunday’s game, which allowed Dalen Terry to start and Tre Jones to play 27 minutes off the bench. Ball appears to be closer to a return than Huerter, who missed practice entirely on Monday. If Ball returns, Terry will return to a reserve role, though he will still play plenty of minutes off the bench if Huerter remains out against Cleveland on Tuesday.

Huerter can reportedly shoot and jump up and down, but he is feeling soreness when he cuts laterally. That isn’t a great sign for his chances of playing against Cleveland on Tuesday. Both Dalen Terry and Tre Jones will take on extra minutes if Huerter remains out.

Oubre is a late addition to the injury report, which puts his status for Monday’s game in serious question. If he were to miss the match with Portland, Guerschon Yabusele and Justin Edwards would both take on larger roles, with one of them sliding into the starting lineup.

Buzelis had a good afternoon in Indianapolis, even if the Bulls took home the defeat. The rookie forward recorded a complete stat line, and he’ll have added value with Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) ruled out for the rest of the season. Since the All-Star break, Buzelis has provided 14th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That isn’t groundbreaking, but the role makes Matas worth rostering in deep leagues, at a minimum.

Giddey’s points, rebounds and assists were solid in Sunday’s loss to the Pacers. Unfortunately, he didn’t shoot the ball well and failed to record any defensive stats (steals or blocks) for the first time since January 25 against the 76ers. Since the All-Star break, Giddey has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats. Provided he continues to play starters’ minutes and isn’t shut down, the Bulls guard will be a valuable asset to fantasy managers hoping to win their leagues.

Sunday’s game was a tale of two halves for White. Shooting 8-of-10 from the field, he scored 20 points in the first half, and the Bulls held a one-point lead at the break. The Pacers did a much better job defending White in the second half, and he shot just 2-of-8 from the field, scoring six points. Since the All-Star break, the Bulls guard has provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats. The Bulls have shown no signs of pulling the plug this season, and tanking may prove difficult with Philadelphia and Brooklyn behind them in the standings. That’s a good thing for managers who have White rostered.

With Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) out for the rest of the season and Lonzo Ball and Kevin Huerter unavailable Sunday, the Bulls are light on available options. As a result, Terry will move into the starting lineup. While he hasn’t been a difference-maker in fantasy basketball this season, Terry may be worth a “hail mary” for fantasy managers in dire need of a starter for Sunday’s action.

Williams has been out since February 12 with a case of right quad tendinitis, receiving a PRP injection on February 20. The Bulls end their Week 18 schedule with games in Orlando (Thursday) and Miami (Saturday), and the hope is Williams will be available then. Matas Buzelis has been a starter since February 5, and Williams’ availability is not likely to change that.

George has put his podcast on hiatus, but he can’t stop picking up new injuries this year. The two-way wing is a plausible shutdown candidate if the 76ers decide to punt on the rest of the season. Justin Edwards could draw a spot start if George misses his first game in March.

Dosunmu was having a healthy February before he suffered a shoulder injury against the Knicks.

Lonzo Ball appears set to take on a featured role as a starter for the rest of the regular season with Dosunmu out of the picture.

Maxey’s scoring production over the last few weeks has been inconsistent, which is surprising after his dominant run in January. Maxey scored an inefficient 30 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, but he tied his season-low for scoring on Saturday, which he initially set in his final appearance before the All-Star break. Maxey has been dealing with an injury to his right pinky finger which is clearly impacting his ability to shoot the ball. He has only hit one three-pointer over his last three games and has shot 30.4 percent from the floor during that stretch. Still, he was able to provide some assist value to make up for his lack of scoring on Saturday.

Drummond remained in the starting lineup for Philadelphia just one day after it was announced that Joel Embiid (knee) would miss the rest of the season. Drummond is currently rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but that will likely change quickly. He only needed 21 minutes to record a double-double and lead both teams in rebounding. Guerschon Yabusele filled out the other 27 minutes at center and contributed 18 points, six rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers. Both should be considered must-roster players for the rest of the season.

With Philadelphia’s stars struggling, Grimes stepped up and had the best game of his career. He entered halftime with 20 points while making eight of his nine shot attempts, and he was able to maintain a high level of efficiency after the break. Unfortunately, his success from the floor wasn’t replicated at the foul line, even though that is supposed to be the easier shot. Grimes is coming off scoring just three points in a loss to the Knicks, so this was an incredibly bounce back performance. Grimes should remain an important part of Philadelphia’s rotation for the rest of the season, making him an excellent option in fantasy basketball.

Despite dealing with lower-body injuries, Giddey (left ankle sprain) and White (right first toe soreness) are on track to play against the Pacers on Sunday. If either cannot play, more minutes will be available to Tre Jones, potentially as a starter, since the Bulls will be without Ayo Dosunmu. However, given the “probable” tags for Giddey and White, there’s no need to add Jones.

Huerter has played a larger role off the bench for Chicago recently, but there is a chance that he misses this game. Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) has already been ruled out, so Tre Jones and Dalen Terry will likely be among the reserves that play a large role for Chicago if Huerter is sidelined.

Vucevic will miss a fourth straight game due to his strained right calf. Zach Collins has been the replacement in the Bulls’ lineup, most recently logging 40 minutes and recording a double-double in Friday’s win over the Raptors. He needs to be rostered while Vucevic sits, while Jalen Smith offers limited fantasy value off the bench.

Dosunmu made his return from a three-game absence on Friday and was able to play 23 minutes off the bench. However, the same left shoulder will keep him on the sidelines for Indiana’s next game. Kevin Huerter (knee) and Tre Jones should see extra minutes off the bench with Dosunmu out.

Collins started again with Nikola Vucevic out for the third straight game. The 27-year-old center had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Collins also dished out five assists. He’s certainly under streaming consideration whenever Vooch is out for the rest of the season.

Giddey had at least 19 points and a double-double for the fifth game in a row. In three of those outings he had at least 10 assists while he had at least 10 rebounds in the other two. Giddey’s varied skill set has been on display over the last three weeks as he’s been a top-10 player in fantasy.

With the clock winding down at the end of regulation and the Bulls down by four, White hit a 3-pointer and was fouled with under five seconds left. The 25-year-old point guard’s four-point play tied the game and the Bulls would eventually win in overtime. White suffered a cut on his finger earlier this week, but seemed to be over that Friday. He has provided eighth-round value over the last three weeks.

The 17th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Hood-Schifino struggled with injuries during his time with the Lakers. He was traded to the Jazz as part of the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis deal, with Utah waiving him shortly thereafter. Hood-Schifino now heads to Philadelphia, and there may be opportunities to play if the 76ers decide to shut down their proven veterans. The 76ers have waived David Roddy to free up a roster spot for Hood-Schifino.

Friday’s game will be the third straight game Vucevic has missed with a strained right calf.

Dosunmu and Smith have missed the Bulls’ last three games. While the former’s return will likely mean fewer minutes for Dalen Terry and Tre Jones, the latter may not be as impactful in fantasy basketball circles.

Yabusele will be available after a right eye abrasion sidelined him for Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks.

After consulting top specialists, the 76ers determined that Embiid is medically unable to play and will miss the rest of the season, according to a team statement. The two sides will continue working with medical experts to determine a treatment plan going forward. The 30-year-old center played against the Celtics and Nets last week, but didn’t look like himself out there. With Embiid shutdown for the rest of the season, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond will handle the center minutes in Philadelphia. Drummond is still available in most leagues and worth adding.

Once again starting for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins recorded a stellar stat line on Wednesday. The Bulls center recorded his first double-double of the season, establishing new highs in points (21) and rebounds (17). The 17 boards were a career-high for Collins, who has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. As long as Vucevic and Jalen Smith (concussion) remain out, Collins will be worth streaming in deep leagues. And he’s rostered in just five percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Few players in fantasy basketball have been as hot as Giddey over the past three weeks. Averaging 19.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.9 three-pointers per game, he has been a top 10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even if the front office doesn’t intend this to happen, the Bulls continue holding onto the East’s final play-in spot. Giddey’s improved play has much to do with that, and the timing is good since he’ll be a free agent this summer.

George announced earlier Wednesday that he would put his podcast on hiatus to focus on getting the 76ers back on track, but that wasn’t enough to keep the team from losing a ninth straight game. However, George’s stat line against the Knicks was solid by fantasy standards, as he shot 45 percent from the field and finished one blocked shot shy of a complete line. Over the past two weeks, George has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. However, he and the 76ers face a challenging climb for the rest of the season, especially if Joel Embiid (knee) cannot return anytime soon.

Maxey finished Wednesday’s defeat with a gaudy point tally, the tenth time in 14 games that he’s scored at least 30 points. However, it’s clear that Maxey’s injured pinky finger on his right (shooting) hand is having an impact. The 76ers guard missed all 10 of his three-point attempts Wednesday night, but the Knicks could not stay in front of him defensively. With Philadelphia suffering a ninth consecutive defeat, it’s fair to question if there will be a point when the team uses Maxey’s finger injury as a reason to shut him down. We haven’t reached that point yet, which is good news for those who have him rostered.

With Joel Embiid (knee) and Guerschon Yabusele (eye) out, Drummond moved into the starting lineup Wednesday night. While the scoring output was limited, the rebounds, assists and steals can be helpful to deep-league managers. During the game, ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth reported that there may be more clarity regarding Embiid’s status coming within the next 48 hours, which will impact Drummond’s fantasy prospects for the rest of the season.

In an infuriating season for 76ers fans, Oubre has been one of the few bright spots. And he’s come through for fantasy managers recently, providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks.
