Bona and Drummond sat out Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, the former due to a sore back and the latter due to back spasms. Dominick Barlow served as the starting center in Detroit, with Trendon Watford moving into the starting lineup.

Having missed the Grizzlies’ last three games with sesamoiditis in his right great toe, Pippen will now undergo a season-ending sesamoidectomy to address the issue. He underwent a similar procedure in October, which delayed the guard’s season debut until early February. Pippen only appeared in ten games this season, finishing with averages of 11.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes. With Ty Jerome having recently missed some games, Javon Small and Cam Spencer will have added fantasy value for the rest of this season.

Small was one of Memphis’ most productive players on Thursday. He fell just one point and one assist shy of a 20/10 double-double, and also finished as one of the Grizzlies’ most reliable three-point shooters on the evening. The rookie guard is now averaging 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists over his last three games. He’ll have a chance to land another strong performance on Friday against the Pistons.

Jackson extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 13 games on Thursday, with efficient shooting leading him to finish as one of two Grizzlies with at least 20 points. He missed a couple at the line and was cold from beyond the arc, however, leaving some points on the floor. Jackson hasn’t consistently contributed in many other ways of late, but has shown the potential to be a good rebounder. He’ll likely remain one of the Grizzlies’ key contributors down the stretch of the season.

Wells was active on both ends of the floor on Thursday. On offense, he was primarily a scorer, using the free-throw line and strong efficiency both inside and outside the arc to land good scoring production. He recorded a few stocks on the defensive end to boost his fantasy production before finishing with a solid final line in the loss. Wells continues to shoot the three-pointer well in his minutes. He shouldn’t be considered much more than a streaming option.

Embiid has missed Philadelphia’s last six games with a strained oblique, and five games last month with a knee injury. To say that the 76ers have struggled in the former MVP’s absence would be an understatement, especially since Tyrese Maxey went down with a finger injury. For Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, the 76ers didn’t have Andre Drummond or Adem Bona, either. Dominick Barlow served as the starting center, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.

After a solid showing in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, his first after a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe struggled in Detroit. Not only did he miss all five of his three-point attempts, but the rookie shot 3-of-9 from two and did not record an assist. Saturday’s matchup with the Nets should be far more forgiving for Edgecombe, as Brooklyn is headed back to the draft lottery.

Once again used in a reserve role, Payne’s streak of consecutive made three-pointers ended at 10 during Thursday’s defeat. He still had a solid night scoring-wise, but those who have streamed him may have hoped for a better assist tally. Even if Payne continues to come off the bench, which is likely since the 76ers want to put the ball in VJ Edgecombe’s hands more, he’s worth streaming while Tyrese Maxey (finger) is out.

The 76ers’ many absences freed up opportunities for players who normally would not be guaranteed rotation minutes, including Beauchamp. Just over a month removed from scoring a then-season high 10 points, the former first-round pick surpassed that number in Detroit. Beauchamp’s night won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it could be a step toward him earning a standard contract somewhere for next season.

Joel Embiid (oblique) is also out, and Andre Drummond (back spasms) is questionable, so the 76ers will be very short-handed against a Pistons team with a talented frontcourt.

This was a fifth straight start for Grimes, and while the first was rough, he has averaged 20.3 points over the last four while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He hasn’t offered much in other categories, but the 76ers will need his continued offensive production with Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss at least three weeks. Grimes should continue to see a bump in minutes and scoring moving forward.

Oubre stepped up in a big way for the shorthanded 76ers in this one. He set new season highs for both points and rebounds in the win while also recording his fourth double-double of the season. Oubre has been a decent option when he has started this year, but with Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss a few weeks and both Joel Embiid and Paul George still unavailable, Oubre will continue to be vital to the team’s success, which should lead to more outings like this.

Following a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe returned for this game. With Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss at least three weeks, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said before the game that he would be the team’s primary ball handler for this game. He led the starters in assists and could be a decent source of dimes over the next few weeks, assuming Cam Payne doesn’t return to the starting unit. Regardless, Edgecombe will be a priority option moving forward.

Payne was pushed back to the bench with VJ Edgecombe (back) available, but he still played an important role off the bench. He had a monster first half, scoring 16 points with four three-pointers without missing a shot while also adding three stocks. Though he didn’t remain perfect from the floor, he did remain perfect from deep and the free throw line in what ended up being an incredible performance from Payne. This was the first time in franchise history that a player made at least eight triples without missing, and he became the first 76ers reserve to finish with at least 30 points and 10 assists while coming off the bench. The 31-year-old who signed a standard deal to return to the NBA during the All-Star break ended up setting new career highs for both points and three-pointers. With Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to be re-evaluated in three weeks, Payne will be an important piece for the 76ers for the rest of this month and should be considered a must-roster player after this performance.

Jerome sat out the first leg of this back-to-back but was available and starting for this one. He played a season-high 23 minutes in his last appearance and surpassed that with 25 minutes in this one. They’ll continue to manage his minutes and games, but he has been fantastic when he’s been on the floor. Despite the restrictions, Jerome has been productive enough to be worth keeping around in standard leagues, though his upside will be capped.

After sitting out Monday’s loss to Brooklyn, Coward returned to take on Philadelphia. Despite playing just 23 minutes, Coward was able to record a double-double, which included him matching his career high for boards in a game. Coward has had a strong rookie season, but his availability has been spotty, and his minutes have been limited when he has played. Don’t expect that to change with the Grizzlies tanking.

And this was his most productive game as a starter, with the final stat line only lacking a blocked shot.

Having played well enough while on a 10-day contract to earn a two-way deal, Rupert has added security for the final month of the 2025-26 season. Nights like Monday will go a long way toward him getting more than a two-way deal in the future. The Grizzlies’ wing played 36 minutes off the bench due to the team’s many absences, recording the first 20-point game of his career. As a two-way player, Rupert isn’t guaranteed to be available every night because of the 50-game limit.

Due to Philadelphia’s many injuries, Edwards has re-entered the rotation for the last three games. The 28 minutes he played against the Cavaliers were the most for the second-year wing since late November, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The 14 points were the most in a game for Edwards since November 11, when he scored a season-high 22 in a win over the Celtics. Edwards is not someone who has to be picked up in fantasy leagues, but he’ll have more opportunities to contribute during Philadelphia’s final four games of Week 20.
