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.

Embiid sat out the first leg of the Sixers’ back-to-back set, but he’s got a chance to take the court on Tuesday. If Embiid is ultimately ruled out, Andre Drummond should remain in the starting lineup, with Adem Bona earning additional run off the bench.

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.

Bey continues to shine for the Pelicans, and he’s rebounded nicely after missing the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight and four of his last five appearances, providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats since January 1. Bey is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but now may be a good time to commit to him in standard leagues, even with the Pelicans playing three games in Week 15.

After starting for most of his rookie season, Missi has primarily been an afterthought in his second year due to the arrival of Derik Queen. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, the 6-foot-11 center has averaged 22.3 minutes per game. While Missi’s fantasy value hasn’t been great during this stretch, the increase in playing time gives him more chances to do what he did on Sunday: record a double-double with a few “stocks.” Due to foul trouble, Queen (four points, four rebounds and one assist) played 17 minutes, which opened the door for Missi.

Murphy played Sunday’s game after appearing on the injury report with a sore right hand, and that may have affected his shooting. Entering the game shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three, the Pelicans forward struggled against the Spurs. Murphy shot 3-of-11 from three and was slightly better (4-of-11) from inside the arc. However, the good news for fantasy managers is that he offered good value in the rebound and assist categories.

In a matchup of two of the NBA’s more unique individual talents, Williamson outplayed Victor Wembanayma on Sunday. The Pelicans forward recorded his second double-double in as many games and third of the season. Add in the assists and percentages, and Sunday’s performance was an excellent one for Williamson. The Pelicans play three games in Week 15, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

Sunday’s game will be Alvarado’s first since January 6, giving the Pelicans additional depth at point guard. With Jeremiah Fears recently moving to the bench, there may not be as many minutes available to Alvarado as there would be if the rookie were starting. Alvarado isn’t a must-add player, but he’s worth keeping an eye on.

Added to the Pelicans’ injury report early Sunday afternoon, Murphy is good to go for the matchup with the Spurs. He’ll take on his usual role as one of the offensive focal points for the Pelicans.

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.

Embiid had 38 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks, but is set to miss Monday’s game against the Hornets. The 31-year-old center is out for left knee injury management reasons. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should handle the center minutes and Embiid should be back Tuesday for the game against the Bucks.

Absent from the Pelicans’ initial injury report for Sunday, Murphy has been added due to a sore right (shooting) hand. He’s been the team’s most productive player, so not having Murphy would significantly affect the Pelicans on both ends of the floor. If he sits, the recently benched Jeremiah Fears could move back into the starting lineup, but fantasy managers in most leagues can afford to leave the rookie alone.

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.
