Grimes is back after a two-game absence, and the timing couldn’t be better for the 76ers. With Paul George beginning a 25-game suspension for violating the league’s anti-drug policy, there will be more minutes available to Grimes, even if he continues to come off the bench.

Just when the 76ers were playing well and strengthening their on-court chemistry, the league announced that George will be suspended for 25 games. His absence likely means that Dominick Barlow, who remains on a two-way contract, will return to the starting lineup. Not having George also means the 76ers will need more production from starters VJ Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre, which could raise the fantasy ceilings of both players.

Do you think Towns heard the rumors that he could be made available in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo? The 30-year-old center has been a man possessed over the last two games. He’s had 42 rebounds combined in the last two contests. Towns has also seen his minutes tick up after not appearing in the final four minutes against the Kings earlier this week. He’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Towns will look to keep it going against the Lakers on Sunday.

Anunoby has now had at least 23 points and at least two made three-pointers in three of his last four games. The 28-year-old small forward is perhaps more known for his defense, but he has an excellent offensive game that includes a solid outside shot. Anunoby has been instrumental in the Knicks’ current five-game winning streak. He’s provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Anunoby and the Knicks will look to stay hot against the Lakers on Sunday.

The Knicks appear to be done messing around. New York has now won five games in a row since a 2-7 stretch. Brunson continues to lead the way and is so consistently good it’s almost boring. The 29-year-old point guard has scored at least 20 points in 11-of-13 games in January. He’s provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks close out the week with a matchup against the Lakers on Sunday.

It was a subpar two-game stretch for Maxey entering this game, but he got back on track in a big way. Not only did he have his first 40-point game since November, but he also hit a game-winning layup with less than two seconds left. Maxey has had a fantastic season and continues to be one of the most effective players in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to stay hot against the Pelicans on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Embiid stayed hot in this game and has now scored at least 30 points in five of his last six games. Over the past wo weeks, Embiid has provided top-five value in nine-category leagues, which is incredible value for a player drafted in the fifth round. Of course, the caveat of “he has to stay healthy” will remain until April, but he’s playing at an incredibly high level. As long as he’s on the floor, he’ll continue to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball.

Embiid was initially probable for Thursday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll take on his usual starting center duties, with Adem Bona serving as the primary backup.

While Towns didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, he didn’t let those struggles affect him in other areas. With no Mitchell Robinson (ankle), KAT dominated the glass, grabbing a season-high 22 rebounds. So even with the poor shooting, there was still some value to be gained by fantasy managers. The Knicks head home for their final two games of Week 15, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

On a night when Jalen Brunson (13 points, one rebound, four assists and one block) was under the weather, Hart was among the Knicks who picked up the slack. Dealing with a sore ankle, the Knicks’ wing matched his season-high in points and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Even with his usually limited scoring output, Hart continues to provide excellent value in category leagues. And every so often, he has a night like Wednesday in which the shots are falling consistently.

After racking up seven turnovers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Anunoby played a far cleaner game on Wednesday. Not only did the Knicks forward finish turnover-free, but the eight “stocks” were a season high. Anunoby’s six steals were one shy of his career-high, and the 26 points matched his season-high. Wednesday was an excellent night for OG and those who have him rostered.

In his previous two games, Bridges scored 27 points on 11-of-29 shooting from the field. He got back on track in a significant way on Wednesday, recording his second 30-point game of the season. In recording a complete stat line, Bridges shot 80 percent from the field in Toronto. He remains a fantasy standout, especially in nine-cat formats, due mainly to the unquestioned availability, but the production has also been good.

McCain was sent to the G League recently, and it seems to have helped him out. Over the last 24 hours, McCain has scored 33 points and hit nine three-pointers. This is a strong stretch of production, and if he is able to continue to play a larger role off the bench, he’ll be able to provide value for fantasy managers. However, Monday’s game was a blowout loss, and McCain had success late. In this game, Quentin Grimes was sidelined. McCain will look to stay hot against the Kings on Thursday.

Considering George scored nine total points in his last game, a new season high of nine triples was the last thing anyone was expecting. It was George’s second 30-point game of the season, and it was enough to snap the 76ers’ two-game losing streak. Even though George has struggled this year, his game is so fantasy-friendly that he has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues this season. He’ll look to keep it going against the Kings on Thursday.

Embiid’s streak of 30-point games came to an end, but he certainly came close to extending it to a fifth game. He got off to a hot start by scoring 18 points in the first quarter, but he cooled down to close out the rest of the game. Still, considering where Embiid was drafted because of injury concerns, Embiid has been an incredible value in recent weeks. As long as he stays healthy, he’ll continue to be a fantasy superstar.

The Knicks had to overcome 18 total turnovers to get a much-needed victory over the Kings on Tuesday. No one was a bigger culprit than Anunoby, who had seven turnovers in the loss. All of a sudden, the 28-year-old small forward has 19 turnovers in his last five games. It’s hurt his value as he’s provided just 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks. Anunoby will look to bounce back against the Raptors Wednesday.

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.

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.
