Wade will miss a third consecutive game as he recovers from a left knee contusion. Sam Merrill started Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves and played 26 minutes. Wade’s absence also affects Jaylon Tyson, whose playing time will be even more secure.

Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Raptors, snapping a six-game active streak for the 31-year-old center. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center duties in his absence. Drummond is worth streaming in most formats.

Embiid is back on the injury report due to left knee injury management, but he has appeared in each of Philadelphia’s last six games. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center responsibilities.

CLE • Guard-Forward • #24

Tyson has been productive for most of the season, but the last few games prior to this one had been rough. However, he was able to get back on track in this one by scoring at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. He had scored a total of 21 points across his four previous games, but he has largely been a consistent producer this season. This could kickstart a strong stretch for him, but he remains a risky option since the Cavs are healthier than they’ve been for much of the season.

Though he didn’t contribute as much on the glass as he typically does, Mobley was able to pour in the points. This was his highest scoring performance since November. Still, his fantasy impact has been limited recently by a lack of rebounds. He has a total of 18 rebounds over his last four games, which is well below his season average of 8.6 boards per game. He had at least 10 rebounds in the two games prior to this stretch, and he’ll look to get back on track against the Jazz on Monday.

Merrill slid back into the starting lineup for this game, replacing Craig Porter Jr. with the opening group. He took advantage of the opportunity, with this being his fourth straight game with at least five three-pointers. He has been on fire lately, having shot at least 50 percent from the floor in each of those. Managers should ride the hot hand with Merrill and stream him in as long as he’s hitting shots.

It has been a rough season overall for Garland, but he has had some incredibly efficient performances lately. This was the second time in his last three games that he scored at least 20 points and six assists while shooting better than 60 percent from the floor and not turning the ball over. Garland hasn’t played to his sixth round ADP, but he is more than capable of producing to that level for the rest of the season.

Craig Porter Jr. will come off the bench after starting on Thursday. Merrill will take his spot after playing 31 minutes in the Cavs’ last game, while Porter only played 15. Merrill will play a similar role, but he’ll be playing alongside the starters.

It was a bit of a mixed bag from George against the Magic. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 18 points on 21 shots and missed all seven of his three-point attempts. George was a force on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s averaging 15.8 points per game as his shooting woes continue, but he’s provided fifth-round per game value on the season.

Embiid has progressed to the point where he’s played for three weeks in a row now without missing time due to injury. The 31-year-old center has mostly played over 30 minutes in those games, as well. That translated into good production Friday as Embiid had at least 22 points and at least nine rebounds for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided fifth-round value over the last two weeks in per game value. Embiid is in line for his fourth game this week against the Raptors Sunday.

Maxey has scored at least 27 points in seven of his last eight games. The 25-year-old point guard had a highlight layup late in the third quarter where he displayed perfect footwork as he broke down the defender for the easy bucket. It was truly a Maxey masterclass. He’s fourth overall in all of fantasy basketball in per game value this season. The 76ers close out the week Sunday against the Raptors.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Embiid has been given the all-clear to play. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Adem Bona and Andre Drummond missing out on boosts to their minutes.

Wade did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, with his absence factoring into the decision to start Craig Porter Jr. However, Porter only played 15 minutes, while Sam Merrill scored 22 points in 30 minutes off the bench.

Mobley’s near-20-point effort on efficient shooting was the highlight of the night for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. He added in a trio of threes for the seventh time this season, as well. Yet he was unspectacular on the glass and finished with just one stock. Mobley has certainly had better days — he’ll have a chance to put up better numbers on Saturday against this same Timberwolves team.

Merrill started and closed Thursday’s games in a similar way, scoring 11 points in both the first and fourth quarters, with three-point production being key. The sharp-shooting guard’s production in between those two periods was also similar, as he went scoreless in the middle two quarters. As a result, Merrill ended with 22 points and five threes. He didn’t make major contributions elsewhere in this game; however, he’s now scored 15 or more points and made at least four three-pointers in four consecutive games.

After a one-game absence, Mitchell returned to the floor on Thursday and added to his streak of 30-point games, which now sits at four. Efficient shooting helped lead him to a team-high in points, with most of his scoring production coming in a 19-point second half. Mitchell also tied a season-high in assists in his effort to give the Cavs a second straight win. A flurry from the T’Wolves in the third quarter ultimately swung the game in their favor, leaving Mitchell’s production wasted in a loss. Both he and the Cavs will have a chance to avenge their loss on Saturday at home against the same Timberwolves.

Mitchell is back after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Pacers, but that isn’t the only change to the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. Porter, who recorded nine assists, two steals and three blocks on Tuesday, has been rewarded with a spot start. As a result of these changes, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade will come off the bench.

Initially probable for Thursday’s game, Tyson is officially available. While he’ll come off the bench, the second-year wing will play enough to provide value in deeper fantasy leagues.

Nance is available to play in a game for the first time since November 28. However, there’s no guarantee that he gets into the Cavaliers’ rotation on Thursday. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire.

Embiid most recently played 25 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, with his playing time being limited since the game was a blowout. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond would handle the available minutes at the center position if Embiid were to miss Friday’s game.

Late additions to injury reports are usually not a good sign. Garland has looked good lately and scored 29 points on Tuesday against the Pacers. Lonzo Ball would figure to see the biggest boost in minutes if Garland has to miss time.

It had been a subpar stretch for George, but this game could help him get back on track. This matched his second-highest scoring total of the season, and it was his first time scoring at least 20 points since mid-December. George isn’t the player he once was, but he’s still more than capable of making an impact for fantasy managers.

Embiid has been on a scoring tear recently, and this game kept that going. He only played 25 minutes, though he didn’t end up needing to play the fourth quarter for the 76ers to get the win. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has scored at least 25 in seven of those. Embiid still isn’t producing consistently in other categories, but he’s clearly still one of the best scoring options in the NBA.

Edgecombe has been a fantasy beast recently. His offense wasn’t quite as good in this game, but his recent defensive impact has been unreal. Over his last five games, Edgecombe is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.6 three-pointers per game. The only player that has been better in nine-category leagues during that stretch has been his teammate Tyrese Maxey. The shooting was subpar in this game, but he’ll look to get back on track in Orlando on Friday.
