Gordon calmly knocked down a pair of free throws in the final five seconds to effectively ice the game, to complete his seventh 20-point performance of the season through 17 games. The 30-year-old center has seen a ton of scoring opportunities for the injury-plagued Nuggets, who have been playing without Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) of late. He’s averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists through four contests since returning earlier this month from injury. The Nuggets are in line for a busy four-game week with matchups against the Pelicans, Mavericks, Wizards and Hornets.

It’s no secret that Denver has been dealing with an avalanche of injury issues to their superstars and supporting cast this season. Somehow, they haven’t reached a tipping point yet, despite losing Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) earlier this week. Hardaway provided a spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc to notch his second 25-point effort in his last four games. He offers some appeal as a streaky scoring threat in deeper fantasy leagues.

Watson’s emergence as a viable fantasy contributor has been a welcome development on an injury-riddled Nuggets squad that is missing several key contributors. The 23-year-old’s breakthrough continued in this one as he’s topped 19 points for the seventh consecutive game since December 31. He’s worthy of a roster spot in all fantasy leagues based on his recent production.

Maxey heated up in the second quarter, finishing the opening half with a team-high 14 points, despite going just 4-of-10 from the floor. He took over the game in the second half, scoring 24 of his 38 points in the final two quarters and overtime, including a trio of key buckets in the final minute. The 25-year-old scoring machine drained a clutch step back three-pointer with 20 seconds left to give Philadelphia a four-point advantage which they were unable to hang onto. He finished just shy of reaching the 40-point plateau for the fifth time this season and has scored at least 27 points in 10 of his last 12 games since December 19. The two teams will square off again on Monday night for the tail-end of a back-to-back as the 76ers kick off a three-game week that also includes a pair of showdowns against the Cavaliers.

Edgecombe connected for a game-tying three-pointer with 16 seconds left in overtime, his first trey of the night after missing his first six attempts. The 20-year-old prodigy has run hot-and-cold in his rookie campaign, averaging a robust 16.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks through 33 games. He’s emerged as a stellar complementary scorer to Tyrese Maxey and has flashed big-time all-around fantasy potential.

The Nuggets won’t have Jamal Murray or Christian Braun for Sunday’s game, but Gordon is back after missing Friday’s loss to the Hawks. He’ll start, with DaRon Holmes II heading to the bench. Also in the lineup are Jones and Tyson, with the latter having started against Atlanta.

The avalanche of injuries to key contributors in Denver has created an opportunity for Watson to put together a mini-breakout, scoring 20-plus points in six consecutive games since December 31. The 23-year-old forward recorded his second double-double of the season with Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) sitting out. He’s experienced a noticeable uptick in creation possessions and increased scoring duties over the last two weeks, averaging 21.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks over eight games during that span.

Gordon hasn’t skipped a beat in three games since returning from a lengthy absence recovering from a hamstring injury, averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.0 assists over 23 minutes during that span. The Nuggets are going to keep a governor on his workload for the immediate future but he’ll continue providing his usual blend of points and rebounds for fantasy purposes.

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.

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.

Nikola Jokić’s left knee injury did not result in Nnaji moving into the starting lineup, but it has freed up additional opportunities for the former first-round pick. Over the past week, the 6-foot-9 forward/center has averaged 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per game. That production has been good for top-100 value in eight-cat formats. DaRon Holmes II (six points, two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers) may be the starter right now, but Nnaji offers the higher streaming ceiling.

Watson finished Wednesday’s victory with his second career 30-point game, finishing two shy of his career-high. The Nuggets’ forward, who initially moved into the starting lineup when Christian Braun went down with a sprained ankle, has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past month. Even with Braun back in the starting lineup and Aaron Gordon available off the bench, they’re under minutes restrictions, which protects Watson’s fantasy value.

Back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers, Murray made up for lost time with one of his best all-around lines of the season. The Nuggets’ point guard racked up a career-high 17 assists, finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Murray’s final line was Nikola Jokić-like, and the Nuggets need that level of production from him with the three-time MVP still recovering from a left knee injury. Over the past week, Murray has offered top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

It had been a subpar stretch for George, but this game could help him get back on track.

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.

The poor first half resulted in a subpar field goal percentage for him, but the counting stats were incredibly strong from him.

Though availability has been an issue, Embiid has been productive when available this season. Recently, he’s been available, and the minutes have increased as well. He has played in four straight games, his longest stretch of the season. He’s also played at least 33 minutes in each, which is more than he has played in any other game this year. He played a season-high 40 minutes in this game, which led to his third double-double in four games.

The Knicks have failed to slow down Philadelphia’s backcourt of Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in their two meetings, with the tandem combining for 62 points on Saturday. The rookie guard’s athleticism was an issue on both ends, with his ability to get whatever shot he wanted and slow down the Knicks defensively.
