Walker entered the starting lineup for Indiana’s last game, but he isn’t available against Chicago, Ben Sheppard or Bennedict Mathurin will likely fill the spot in the starting lineup. Mathurin would receive a nice boost, but Sheppard won’t be worth streaming regardless.

Grimes is a late addition to the injury report with a right ankle sprain, which doesn’t bode well for his availability. The severity of the injury is unknown, but it’s possible Philadelphia is taking a cautious approach on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon may see a few extra minutes if Grimes sits out, but neither are appealing fantasy streaming options.

George sat out Monday due to left knee injury management, but he’s expected to play on the second night of Philadelphia’s back-to-back set. George’s return should push Dominick Barlow back to the bench, but fantasy managers shouldn’t have been rostering Barlow. Kelly Oubre Jr. should still retain his fantasy value regardless of George’s availability.

Monday’s fourth-quarter minutes in a 130-93 defeat may have given McCain the boost that a recent stint in the G League failed to. The second-year guard, who’s struggled with injuries and confidence since having his rookie campaign end prematurely due to a torn meniscus, shot 4-of-7 from the field in the final frame, scoring 12 points. This doesn’t make McCain a factor in redraft leagues immediately, but the 76ers can use another consistent shooter off the bench. We’ll see if Monday’s fourth quarter serves as a catalyst for McCain.

With Joel Embiid and Paul George sitting out due to injury management, many likely expected a big afternoon from Maxey. Unfortunately for him and the 76ers, the Hornets had other ideas. Maxey had one of his worst games of the season, missing all three of his three-point attempts and shooting 33.3 percent from inside the arc. The seven assists were nice, but fantasy managers are left to hope that Maxey bounces back on Tuesday against the Bucks.

Oubre was the lone 76ers starter in double figures on Monday, continuing a nice run of production for him. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Oubre is in the starting lineup, he’ll be worth rostering in deep leagues and some standard ones as well.

Volume was key for Siakam here as he shot just 8-of-21 from the floor, including 2-of-9 from long range. He was an efficient 8-of-9 from the charity stripe and chipped in meaningful counting stats to bolster his performance for fantasy managers. There’s no reason to expect a dip in production for the high-usage, do-it-all forward any time soon.

Mathurin played his first game since January 2, and he came off the bench with a limited workload. Despite the reduced playing time, Mathurin’s offensive impact was far from muted, as he hit 6-of-10 shots, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He should see his playing time trend up moving forward, and fantasy managers in need of points and triples can safely deploy him.

George will sit out Monday’s game due to left knee injury management, and the change in start time may have been a factor. The game will start at 3 PM Eastern instead of 7 PM, cutting down on the time that George and Joel Embiid would have to get their bodies ready. So, both will sit. George’s absence may push Dominick Barlow back into the starting lineup, but he isn’t worth streaming. However, fantasy managers should target Kelly Oubre Jr.

Bassey is back with the franchise that selected him with the 53rd overall pick in the 2021 draft. While he himself may not affect fantasy basketball, this is a critical transaction regarding Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker. With the 76ers now on 15 standard contracts, Barlow and Walker can be active for games without concern about the 50-game limit on players on two-way contracts.

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.

Walker started over Jay Huff on Friday and rewarded the coaching staff for their decision to move him into the opening lineup. In the win, he was second on the Pacers in scoring, second in three-pointers, and tied a team-high in steals. Inefficiency from the free-throw line prevented him from notching a 30-point performance, but that’s one of the very few things to pick at from Friday’s outing. Walker has now put together back-to-back high-scoring performances. He’ll have an opportunity for a third on Monday against the Hawks.

Nembhard was very productive on Friday. He shot with good accuracy both inside and beyond the arc before finishing with nearly 30 points. But maybe even more impressive was his passing; the fourth-year guard was the only player on either team to reach double figures in assists. The offensive production led Nembhard to his fourth double-double in January, as the Pacers ended a three-game losing streak.

Siakam was one of three Pacers players to score 20 or more points on Friday. In addition to his scoring, the veteran forward made a difference as a playmaker, and also was decent overall on the glass. He didn’t record any stocks for the third straight game and fourth time over the past five outings, but even without the defensive stats, he had a solid final line against OKC. He’ll look for more production on Monday against the Hawks.

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.

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.

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.

A double-digit scorer in five of his last seven appearances, Walker’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since late-November. While the third-year forward isn’t a trustworthy fantasy option right now, he’s someone who could be more valuable during the “silly season.” Given where the Pacers are in the standings, young players like Walker shouldn’t lack for opportunities after the All-Star break.

While Siakam has scored at least 21 points in five straight appearances, Wednesday’s was his first with at least 30 since a January 8 win over the Hornets.

That doesn’t align with Siakam’s ADP (30), but things could be far worse for those who have him rostered.

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.

Nesmith got a rest night on Saturday, but the extra time off didn’t lead to a better performance. He had a rough shooting night and set a new career high for turnovers. He was able to somewhat offset the struggles by setting a season high for rebounds and contributing on the defensive end. This is the fifth straight game he has shot below 40 percent from the floor, and he’s shot below 25 percent in three of those. It has been a rough season overall for Nesmith, and there isn’t much reason to roster him at this point.
