Edgecombe did many things well against Houston. He was productive from the three-point line as a scorer, but also was the lead table setter for the Sixers’ offense. And on the defensive end, the rookie guard had active hands in coming up with a pair of steals, helping round out a balanced overall performance. Edgecombe has had a very good rookie season and should only become more productive as his career lengthens.

Maxey played 33 minutes against the Rockets and finished as Philadelphia’s leading scorer. The versatile combo guard used the three-point shot to find most of his production on Thursday, while also making some contributions as a passer. While the sixth-year guards’ numbers were solid, they weren’t exceptional — the Sixers will almost certainly need Maxey to perform at a higher level down the stretch of the season, so long as Joel Embiid is out of the lineup recovering from injury.

George had one of his least impactful games of the season against the Rockets. He failed to convert any of his five three-point attempts and finished with more turnovers than made field goals on the evening. As a result, the veteran forward tied a season-low in points and scored in single digits for just the fifth time all season. The Sixers will need him to bounce back on Friday against the Pacers.

Adem Bona gets the start for the injured Joel Embiid on Thursday. Embiid was reported to have surgery scheduled for Thursday due to appendicitis, and while his return timeline is unclear, the Sixers will have to figure out how to win games without the former MVP. Philadelphia is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings with three games remaining in the regular season.

What was initially announced as an illness by the 76ers is reportedly something far more serious for Embiid. According to the team, the 7-footer is dealing with appendicitis and will undergo surgery on Thursday. Embiid is out indefinitely, and the 76ers will have to account for the likelihood that they won’t have the former league MVP for the postseason. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will have to hold down the fort for the foreseeable future.

The Timberwolves did not have Anthony Edwards or Julius Randle for Wednesday’s game, so the scoring had to come from somewhere. Enter Shannon, who only missed three shots from the field and recorded the first 30-point game of his NBA career. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and this was an excellent offensive performance for the second-year wing. Shannon is unlikely to have an expanded role during the playoffs, but he might for Minnesota’s final two regular-season games since the team is locked into the sixth seed in the West.

With Rudy Gobert ruled out, the Timberwolves turned to Reid to man the middle on Wednesday. Minnesota gave up 132 points, but that’s to be expected when you’re playing without one of the game’s best rim protectors. Reid did his part, tallying three steals and two blocks as part of a complete stat line. The Timberwolves are locked into the sixth seed in the West for the playoffs, so playing time could be limited for many of the team’s consistent rotation players in their final two regular-season games.

In the lineup after a six-game absence, McDaniels logged 19 minutes in Wednesday’s defeat. With Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle sidelined, there was no excuse for McDaniels not to be aggressive on offense, even with the limited playing time. He shot 50 percent from the field, scoring 18 points. Minnesota is locked into the sixth seed in the West, so the focus for its final two games will be on getting as healthy as possible ahead of the playoffs.

The Timberwolves, with three games left in the regular season, will use a starting lineup on Wednesday that they haven’t yet used this season.

Hyland continues to offer solid offensive production off the bench as the Timberwolves continue to play without Anthony Edwards. Over his last three games, the 6-foot-2 guard has totaled 58 points. In addition to his 19 points, Hyland dished out a team-high seven assists in Tuesday’s victory. With the Timberwolves having three more games in Week 24, Bones is worth adding in active fantasy leagues.

Having played 31 minutes or more in six consecutive games, Randle did not have to play as much on Tuesday. The veteran forward played 28 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with a modest stat line. The only Timberwolves’ starter to play less was Mike Conley (8/2/3/3 with two three-pointers), who logged 21 minutes as he continues to fill in for the injured Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves have three more games to play this week, starting with the Magic on Wednesday.

Dosunmu recorded his first 20-point game since March 18 on Tuesday, with the 24 points being the most for him since being traded to the Timberwolves. All that his final line lacked was a blocked shot, and the Timberwolves’ wing continues to help compensate for Anthony Edwards’ absence. With a win over the Magic on Wednesday, the Timberwolves would be guaranteed a top-6 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, avoiding the Play-In Tournament.

Maxey logged 40 minutes on Monday but recorded an underwhelming final stat line. In his lowest-scoring game in over two months, inefficient shooting both inside and outside the arc was a big factor. And while Maxey came close to notching double-digit assists, he committed four turnovers in the process. Monday’s game aside, Maxey has played well down the stretch of the regular season. He’s constantly been one of the Sixers’ best fantasy performers, when healthy.

George had his least productive outing since returning from suspension. While he made four of his five three-pointers, he shot just 1-of-10 from inside the arc, resulting in an inefficient night overall. However, even with the mediocre performance on Monday, George’s recent play has been encouraging, given all the time he’s missed this season. He’ll have a chance to finish the regular season strong and potentially help the Sixers avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Embiid had it going for much of Monday’s contest, compiling 31 points and 12 rebounds through the first three quarters. However, a field-goal-less fourth quarter left him and the Sixers without much more offense the rest of the way. Still, Embiid logged his 13th 30-point outing of the season and continues to perform well in the lead-up to the postseason. The Sixers will have some work to do if they want to avoid the Play-In Tournament. They have three regular-season games remaining.

Limited to eight points in his last outing, Edgecombe more than doubled that number on Saturday. The 76ers’ rookie did not have the most efficient night, but he did finish with a complete stat line.

Randle was the lone Timberwolves starter to shoot 50 percent or better from the field on Friday. And after struggling for a significant portion of March, he appears to be rounding into form. Randle has scored at least 21 points in four of his last five appearances, and he’s made at least 60 percent of his shot attempts in each of his last three.
