Hunter was a late addition to the Cavaliers’ injury report, and now he’s officially out. Cleveland’s bench rotation takes a hit, but this won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball. Nae’Qwan Tomlin may pick up a few more minutes, but there’s no need to stream him.

As has been the case on a few occasions this season, Edgecombe got going in the fourth quarter after being quiet for the first three. He shot 3-of-4 from the field in the final frame, helping Philadelphia bounce back from another brutal third quarter. It wasn’t enough to get the 76ers into the winner’s circle, however. Edgecombe’s production has slipped recently, with the rookie ranked outside the top-100 over the past two weeks. However, that’s just as much due to Joel Embiid’s resurgence as it is the rookie’s decreased scoring.

Oubre had another solid performance for the 76ers, once again showing that he can be valuable to category-league managers. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 76ers’ wing has been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks. With Philadelphia opening Week 15 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, it’s possible that Oubre is only available for three games.

Since being limited to 14 points in a January 14 blowout loss to the Cavaliers, Maxey has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive games. He had an efficient afternoon against the Knicks, but the third quarter was once again an issue for Maxey and the 76ers. He shot 1-of-5 from the field in the frame, and Philadelphia was outscored by a 30-13 margin. The 76ers rallied in the fourth, but the deficit was too big to erase.

One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Embiid had another huge day at the office. There was a brief period in which he appeared to be favoring his left leg, but the 76ers’ center played 36 minutes. Embiid has looked more like his usual self, but a day off may be in the cards as Philadelphia opens its four-game Week 15 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday.

There may be a few more minutes for Nae’Qwan Tomlin, but he should not be streamed when coming off the bench.

Tyson continues to provide strong value as a starter for Cleveland. Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hand) remained out, which allowed Tyson to remain in his role. Over his last four games, Tyson has averaged 21.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 triples while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor. Next up for the Cavs is a trip to Orlando on Saturday, and Tyson will look to remain productive while playing big minutes.

Mobley had a rough stretch as a rebounder earlier this month, but the last two games have shown that won’t continue. He recorded his second straight double-double and matched his season high for both points and assists.

Mitchell had a few rough performances in a row entering this game. After two poor shooting nights, he had eight turnovers against the Hornets on Wednesday. This outing was closer to his high-level production that we’re accustomed to getting. He led the team in scoring and had his fifth 30-point outing of the month. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and he’ll look to stay hot in Orlando on Saturday.

While George’s points tally in his first game back after missing two for left knee injury maintenance, fantasy managers should focus more on the workload. He played 37 of a possible 53 minutes in the overtime victory, which is definitely a positive. And George came up with some big plays in crunch time, knocking down a three-pointer for the first points of overtime and blocking an Alperen Şengün layup attempt that would have tied the game with 1:16 remaining in the extra session.

Maxey has now scored at least 30 points in 20 of the 41 games he’s played this season. And on Thursday, he was at his best when the 76ers needed him most, shooting 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter and overtime. Maxey’s double-double was his fifth of the season and first since New Year’s Day. The 76ers will end Week 14 with a Saturday afternoon matinee against the Knicks.

Paul George’s return after a two-game absence did not result in Oubre moving to the bench, as both were in the starting lineup. And Oubre had one of his best games of the season, knocking down four three-pointers and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. At a minimum, those who are already rostering him should hold onto the Tsunami Papi.

Thursday’s version of Embiid may have been the closest that 76ers fans and fantasy managers have gotten to his “vintage” self this season. The 7-footer recorded his first triple-double of the season, and that included a few key assists to Tyrese Maxey during the overtime period. Embiid has stayed relatively healthy over the past month, and if that continues, he could wind up being one of the steals of the 2025-26 fantasy season.

George is back in the lineup after a two-game absence, but his return does not push Oubre to the bench. For the first time this season, the 76ers will go with the starting five that was projected during the preseason, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. Barlow is still on a two-way contract, so Thursday’s lineup may become the norm once everyone is healthy.

Add in the steals and blocks, and this was a good night for Mobley managers, even with the limited scoring.

Mitchell and the Cavaliers were coasting through the first half of Wednesday’s game, but they were unable to close out the Hornets until the final seconds. With Darius Garland (toe) out, the Cavaliers have to rely more on Mitchell as a playmaker instead of just looking to him for scoring. He’s recorded six assists or more in three of his last four games, and that should be a common occurrence while Garland is out.

Maxey extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three, but the Suns made him work for everything he got on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Edgecombe in which he scored at least 20 points since January 3. With Joel Embiid and Paul George out, there were more shots available to the rookie, whose 21 attempts were the most in a game for him since December 30. Edgecombe is shooting 41.3 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which has limited him to eighth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats.

For the second time this season, Embiid was able to score 30 points in consecutive games. It took him some time to get on track, and he still isn’t as productive as he used to be, but he’s certainly still able to score at an elite level. He’ll continue to light up the scoreboard when he’s available, and his minutes have gone up, which is encouraging for his health. However, that doesn’t mean he’s going to play back-to-backs. Except him to be ruled out against the Suns on Tuesday.

Hunter followed up a poor two-game stretch with two solid performances in consecutive games against the 76ers. While he was able to score in double figures once again, it came inefficiently. Both the poor shooting and turnovers limited the impact that his rebounds and free throws would have made. Hunter has never been a great option in category leagues, and now that he is coming off the bench, his upside is limited. Still, he is better than what he put together in this game and should respond against the Hornets on Wednesday.

Cleveland was missing multiple rotation players for this game, and other starters were struggling, which made this outing from Tyson so vital. He set a new career high for scoring and had the game-winning assist to Evan Mobley. Tyson also set a career high for three-pointers.

The Cavs haven’t had as much success as they did last season, which can mostly be attributed to all the games that rotation players have missed.

To say Hunter needed a night like Wednesday would be an understatement. In Cleveland’s two previous games, he totaled six points on 2-of-10 shooting from the field.
