Sexton will start in place of the injured Josh Giddey (hamstring) on Wednesday. He’s been a productive scorer for the Bulls since joining the team ahead of February’s trade deadline, and should have a chance to provide lots of fantasy value against the Pacers.

Down one of its top scorers, leading passers, and best rebounders, Chicago could find itself in a tough battle with Indiana on Wednesday. However, Giddey’s absence should open the door for players like Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham to see more minutes. Sexton, on the heels of a 20-point outing, could be a nice player for fantasy managers to stream.

Jones’ 23 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over two months. With the ball being in Josh Giddey’s (nine points, six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers) more often than not, Jones’ assist potential is somewhat limited. However, his improved scoring ability has compensated for that. As a result, Jones is worth rostering in some 12-team leagues going into the Bulls’ final three games of Week 23.

Having scored 20 points or more in three of his last four games, Sexton continues to play quality minutes off the bench. He logged 27 minutes on Monday and has met or exceeded that number in three straight. Given the run that he’s currently on and the Bulls’ unwillingness to pull the plug, Sexton has value in 14-team leagues. The only negative is that while the Bulls play three more times in Week 23, each game will be played on a day with at least nine games scheduled.

Limited to 16 minutes in a spot start on Saturday, Miller returned to the bench on Monday. And the Bulls forward enjoyed a career night in San Antonio, finishing with his first 20-point game. Miller filled the stat sheet and has now scored in double figures in 10 of his last 11 appearances. The Bulls, who have three more games in Week 23, are playing out the string, which means more opportunities for Miller on most nights.

With Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid all available the last two games, Edgecombe has taken a back seat scoring-wise. Of course, this is an unsurprising development, considering the pedigree of the 76ers’ three veteran leaders. On Monday, Edgecombe shot the ball well and provided solid value in assists and steals. Continuing to do so will be critical for his fantasy value in the 76ers’ final games of Week 23.
PHI • Center-Forward • #21

Embiid has scored at least 26 points in all three games he’s played since returning from a strained oblique that sidelined him for a month. Just as nice for fantasy managers has been the playing time, with the 76ers’ center playing 34 minutes on Monday, two less than his tally in Saturday’s win over the Hornets. As long as Embiid is healthy, fantasy managers rostering him will be in good shape.

After two stellar performances in his first games back from a 25-game suspension, George cooled off a bit on Monday. He shot 3-of-7 from inside the arc, a bit worse than his 47.5 percent mark from two on the season. However, the points and three-pointers were a solid start to Week 23, especially with the 76ers facing the Wizards on Wednesday. Don’t be surprised if George has a big night in that one.

Maxey did not shoot the ball well in the 76ers’ first game of Week 23, but the overall production compensated for that. In the two games he’s played since returning from a finger injury, the 76ers’ point guard has totaled 14 rebounds, 17 assists, one steal, three blocks and five three-pointers. And, as many fantasy managers know, poor-shooting nights like Monday are not the norm for Maxey. The 76ers face the Wizards on Wednesday in what stands to be an excellent matchup for Maxey.

Yabusele will return from a one-game absence to face a red-hot Spurs team that’s won eight games in a row.

He likely won’t be a difference-maker from a fantasy standpoint, but he’s a capable double-double threat nonetheless.

Not long after that report, Charania reported that the Bulls have waived Ivey.

Sexton, who has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four appearances, nearly won Saturday’s game. However, his basket came after the time expired, so the Bulls lost by a point. Given how much he has been used recently, Sexton is worth rostering in deep leagues, especially with the Bulls playing four games in Week 23. Since the All-Star break, he has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats.

Giddey, who has recorded at least 10 assists in five straight games, finished Saturday’s defeat with his 13th triple-double of the season. Add in the “stocks,” and this was an excellent end to Week 22 for managers rostering Giddey. Chicago plays four games in Week 23, and it’s fair to wonder how much he’ll play moving forward. Head coach Billy Donovan has said that it would take a directive from the front office to change his approach, so Giddey managers should be fine for the time being.

Jones nearly helped the Bulls snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, leading a breakaway in the final seconds while the team trailed by a point. Unfortunately, his pass to Collin Sexton and subsequent basket came after time expired, so the Bulls lost. That may not have been the best result for the players, but Bulls fans eager to strengthen the team’s lottery odds won’t feel the same. As for Jones, he’ll remain an incredibly valuable option for fantasy managers in Week 23.

Buzelis had one of his most productive nights of the season, finishing one point shy of the first 30-point double-double of his career. Add in the assists, “stocks” and three-pointers, and fantasy managers rostering the second-year forward benefited immensely. The Bulls play four games in Week 23, but three are against teams headed for the postseason (San Antonio, New York and Phoenix). It will be a challenging week for Buzelis, but playing time and usage won’t be an issue.

George produced an excellent all-around stat line on Saturday, which was great news for those rostering him. In the two games he’s played since returning from his suspension, the 76ers’ forward has totaled 54 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, eight steals, two blocks and 10 three-pointers. Describing George as a “league-winner” is a bit strange given his career track record. However, the 25-game suspension has put him in that position since some managers dropped him in the immediate aftermath.

Embiid’s ability to get to the foul line was a factor in Philadelphia’s comeback victory, as he shot 10-of-13 from the stripe. Add in what the former league MVP was able to do within the flow of the offense, and this was a good end to Week 22 for those rostering Embiid. Philadelphia’s four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so managers may only have Embiid for three games. That said, three games of him are better than four games of most starting centers regarding fantasy value.

Oubre did not start in his first game back from an elbow injury, but the playing time was not an issue. He logged 28 minutes while starter Dominick Barlow (three points and two rebounds) played 15. The question is, how long will 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stick with Barlow as his starter? During the preseason, the expectation was that Philadelphia would go small, with Oubre and Paul George being the starting forwards. However, the combination of injuries and Barlow’s play led to him starting. That may change ahead of the playoffs, possibly as soon as Monday in Miami.

Back in the 76ers’ lineup after missing three weeks with a finger injury, Maxey was aggressive from the start. He made his first three three-point attempts and finished with a complete stat line while shooting well over 50 percent from the field.

Philadelphia plays four games in Week 23, starting with the Heat on Monday.

Sexton led three Bulls with at least 20 points, and he’s scored 22 or more in two of his last three appearances. Sexton played 29 minutes against the Thunder, and a similar workload moving forward would give him reputable fantasy value.

On a night when backcourt partner Josh Giddey (5/7/11) had a rough night shooting the basketball, going 1-of-11 from the field, Jones did his best to pick up the slack. He finished one assist shy of a double-double, and the 21 points were the most in a game for Jones since March 13, when he hit that number in a loss to the Clippers. Given his status as a starter, Jones is worth rostering for the remainder of the fantasy season, even if Giddey will remain the chief playmaker.
