With Justin Edwards out due to injury and Guerschon Yabusele for personal reasons, the 76ers had two voids to fill in their starting lineup. Walker and Bagley move into the starting five, with the former being the safer streaming choice for managers in active leagues.

Lopez has scored at least 17 points in four straight games, one of his most productive stretches of the season. In addition to his 20 points, the veteran center finished Sunday’s victory with a double-double and four blocked shots. Before Sunday, Lopez last recorded four or more blocks in a game on March 13. He’s provided third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and will have added value for Week 23, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) misses more time.

As with Gary Trent Jr., the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) meant Porter would move into the starting lineup on Sunday. He had an excellent night in New Orleans, shooting just below 50 percent from the field while not committing a turnover. Porter has not been the safest streaming option with Damian Lillard out of the lineup, but he did boast a higher ceiling. He’ll be worth a look in active leagues for Week 23, as the Bucks play four games.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) out, Trent moved into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Sunday. The move gave him a welcomed boost, and Sunday was an excellent night to stream the guard. Not only were Trent’s 29 points a season-high, but this was also his first game with at least 20 since March 20. Damian Lillard’s absence has raised Trent’s ceiling, but he’s even better when Giannis is also out, since it has meant he’ll be in the starting lineup.

Connaughton has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game, meaning the Bucks will have one less option off the bench. While his absence could result in Andre Jackson Jr. playing rotation minutes, there is little to gain from rostering the second-year wing out of UConn.

Antetokounmpo is unavailable for Sunday’s game after putting forth an outstanding effort in Saturday’s win over the Heat. Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. are the players who benefit the most fantasy-wise, as they were both starters the last time Giannis missed a game. If Doc Rivers sticks with that approach, Ryan Rollins will lose value because he moves to the bench.

While Edwards was injured during the first half of Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Lowry was inactive for that game. The rookie has been a starter when available, so his status will be far more impactful on fantasy leagues that remain active. Lonnie Walker IV started the second half of Saturday’s game and should retain that role if Edwards cannot play. As for Lowry, his availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Yabusele’s name has been added to Philadelphia’s long list of absentees for Monday’s game against the Heat. His absence means more playing time for Marcus Bagley and Colin Castleton, one of whom may be asked to start in Yabusele’s place. His absence also raises Adem Bona’s fantasy ceiling, and he’s the player managers in active leagues should target.

Antetokounmpo is banged up after his latest triple-double. However, the Bucks star has been relatively healthy as of late and has regularly powered through minor tweaks. Gary Trent is one of the players most likely to step into the starting lineup if Antetokounmpo can’t go.

Damian Lillard’s absence has not impacted Lopez’s fantasy value much, as he has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That aligns with his season-long value in nine-cat and is two rounds better than his eight-cat production. Lopez has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, and the good news for fantasy managers is that he has four games on his schedule for Week 23.

Porter stepped up for the Bucks in a big way Saturday night, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The 12 rebounds were a season-high for the guard, who shot 50 percent from the field and only committed one turnover. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Porter has provided 12th-round value in eight-cat formats since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf. With Milwaukee playing four games during Week 23, Porter is worth a look in deep leagues that will still be active.

Giannis finished Saturday’s overtime victory with his second triple-double in as many games and the ninth of the season. His fantasy value has increased substantially since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf. In the eight games he’s played since then, Giannis has been a top-15 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. During this run, Antetokounmpo has shot 62.6 percent from the field and 72.0 percent from the foul line. For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Bucks play four games, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Butler has recently provided solid late-round fantasy value, as he has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks. While he won’t offer much value on the boards, the assists, steals and three-pointers have made Butler worthy of rostering in deep leagues. With the 76ers playing four games during Week 23, he should see plenty of action, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Yabusele has scored at least 19 points in three of his last four appearances and has provided decent value with the 76ers down multiple rotation centers. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks. For leagues that will be active during Week 23, the 76ers play four games without a back-to-back, which should bode well for Yabusele’s availability.

Walker came off the bench to begin Saturday’s game, but was ultimately inserted into the lineup to start the third quarter after Justin Edwards was ruled out for the night with a rib contusion. For fantasy managers whose leagues run through Week 23, Walker would have value during Philadelphia’s four-game week if Edwards has to miss time. And Monday’s game against Miami would be a prime streaming opportunity since only two games are on the schedule.

As has been the case throughout the last month, Grimes again shouldered a significant amount of the offensive workload for the 76ers. The good news for fantasy managers is this has not negatively impacted Grimes’ efficiency, most recently shooting over 50 percent from the field on Saturday. Over the past month, he has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Grimes will be a restricted free agent this summer, and his play has likely driven up the price he’ll command in July.

Edwards suffered a rib contusion during the first half of Saturday’s game and will not return. The rookie played 11 minutes, finishing with five points, one rebound, one steal and one three-pointer.

Following a two-game absence, Yabusele was back for Thursday’s game and slotted right back into the starting lineup. This was a significant improvement over his last appearance; he was held to just one point in 30 minutes in a blowout loss to the Heat. This was his third time scoring at least 20 points since the All-Star break, with all three coming in his last six appearances. Yabusele, who is set to be a free agent this summer, will have plenty of interested teams looking to add him to their rotation.

The 76ers keep losing, and Grimes keeps cooking, which is exactly what management wants. This was his 11th time scoring at least 20 points in his last 12 appearances, and it was his second point-assist double-double during this stretch. He’ll continue to be an elite fantasy option for the remainder of this season, but he is a difficult player to project heading into next year. He’ll be a restricted free agent this summer, and if he remains with Philadelphia, it’s unclear where he will fit into the rotation with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, Paul George and a potential top-six pick in the mix.

Bona, who was drafted in the second round last summer, has really taken off over the past month. In this game, he shattered his previous career-high of 16 points, which he initially set a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old has thrived in a lost season for Philadelphia, and it has come on both ends of the floor; this was his fifth-straight game with at least three blocks. It’s difficult to imagine Bona playing a significant role next season, though it will depend on Joel Embiid’s availability.

Following a two-game absence with a shoulder injury, Green was back playing his typical reserve role in Thursday’s win. He logged 19 minutes and had one of his stronger performances since the All-Star break. This was a well-rounded game from the Bucks as Green was one of seven players to score in double figures. Green’s floor spacing will be important for Milwaukee in the postseason, especially if Damian Lillard isn’t able to return.

Kuzma hasn’t had a productive season, and a change of scenery didn’t do much to help that. However, he has had some solid performances recently and was able to contribute a full stat line in Thursday’s win. Kuzma has averaged 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, three assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.3 threes per game while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor over Milwaukee’s last four games. The blocks are unlikely to stick, but it has been a solid stretch for him. They’ll need him to keep it up with Damian Lillard sidelined.

What a night it was for Antetokounmpo. This was his sixth-straight game with at least 30 points, and he set a new career-high for assists while recording his eighth triple-double of the season. He did all that while only turning the ball over twice. But the most astonishing part? His success at the free throw line. He has shot 21-of-23 from the charity stripe over Milwaukee’s last two games, which is a significant improvement over his 61.6 percent free throw shooting this season. Antetokounmpo has stepped up with Damian Lillard sidelined indefinitely, and he has two more games this week to pour in stats for fantasy managers, though he likely won’t continue to shoot 90 percent from the foul line.

Maxey has not appeared in a game since March 3. While he was initially dealing with back and finger injuries, the latter is why the 76ers guard will not play again this season. According to Charania, Maxey is still experiencing discomfort in his finger and needs further treatment. What was not reported is the possibility of Maxey undergoing offseason surgery to address the issue. Maxey exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (26) in eight- and nine-cat formats, appearing in 52 games. However, the 76ers rarely had their “big three” on the court together, as Joel Embiid and Paul George were also limited due to injuries. This is the first season in which Maxey has failed to play at least 60 games, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned heading into drafts in the fall.

Embiid was ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 season on February 28, as a lingering left knee issue limited him to 19 games. He’ll undergo an arthroscopic procedure next week, and Charania also reports that Embiid will be evaluated in six weeks afterward. At that point, there should be more clarity regarding how intensive his rehab will be and how long the process may take.

Rollins has started six of Milwaukee’s last seven games, and the last few have been productive for him. Two games after he set a career-high with 20 points, Rollins set another career-high. Over the past two weeks, Rollins has averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, four assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 triples per game. That has him producing top-100 value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch, and with Damian Lillard out indefinitely, Rollins should be a quality option for the rest of the season.

Typically known for his blocks and three-pointers, Lopez was able to show off his skills as a passer on Tuesday. This was his third time this season finishing with six assists, which he has now done twice in Milwaukee’s last three games.

Once again, Antetokounmpo dominated on offense for the shorthanded Bucks. This was his fifth-straight game with at least 30 points, which helped end a four-game slide for Milwaukee. His 11 dimes were also the most he has had in a game since January. However, what was most impressive from Giannis in this game was his success at the free throw line. It was entirely uncharacteristic for a player that has shot 61.1 percent from the charity stripe this season, and it isn’t something that managers should expect to continue moving forward.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Lowry since February 9, as he missed nearly two months with a hip injury. The veteran guard did not provide much value beyond the two steals, missing his lone shot attempt on the night.

Guerschon Yabusele’s absence on Tuesday led to Bona moving into the starting lineup, and the rookie center filled the stat sheet in 32 minutes played. The combination of rebounding and defensive stats has made Bona a solid fantasy asset as the season winds down. Over the past two weeks, he’s averaging 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 3.0 blocks per game. As a result, Bona has offered third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Playing against the franchise that selected him with the 21st overall pick in the 2021 draft, Grimes continued his excellent late-season run. The 76ers guard has scored 20 points or more in 10 of his last 11 appearances, providing top-15 per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past month. At this point, all that may stop Grimes would be the 76ers deciding to sit him for the rest of the season.
