Williams did not play in Friday’s win over the Jazz, leading Portland to go small when starting center Donovan Clingan was not on the court. They’re likely to take a similar approach if the Time Lord remains out on Sunday.

Edwards missed all three of his three-point attempts, but otherwise had a fantastic game in the win over the Nets on Saturday. The 22-year-old small forward isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, but should continue to see more opportunities with the 76ers still dealing with injuries.

Bona started with Andre Drummond (back) and Joel Embiid (knee) out and almost had a double-double against the Nets on Saturday. The 22-year-old center had nine points and 10 rebounds while also contributing a steal and four blocks on the defensive end. Bona will continue to be worth streaming while the 76ers are short-handed.

With the 76ers dealing with a litany of injuries, Grimes continues to start and see heavy usage. The 25-year-old shooting guard took over the game Saturday against the Nets, dropping 28 points on 22 field goal attempts in the victory. Grimes should continue to excel in this role while Tyrese Maxey (pinky) is sidelined. The 76ers take on the Trail Blazers on Sunday in the second game of a back-to-back.

With Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond still out, Bona is the next man up at the center position for the 76ers. Bona missed Thursday’s loss to the Pistons himself with a sore back, but is available for Saturday’s game against the Nets, pushing Trendon Watford to the bench.

Bona missed Thursday’s loss to the Pistons with a sore back, which left the 76ers severely shorthanded due to Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond also being out. Bona is active Saturday with Embiid and Drummond still sidelined. He should play as many minutes as he can handle against the Nets.

Walker had 16 points in 18 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, but has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets with an illness. The 76ers are going to be severely shorthanded once again as Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Andre Drummond are all out again. With Adem Bona (back) still questionable, it’s reasonable to assume Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford will see minutes in this game.

Drummond was initially questionable due to back spasms, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets. Adem Bona remains questionable with a sore back. Both centers missed Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, which allowed Dominick Barlow to move into the starting lineup.

Henderson has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season to date. While he was responsible for five turnovers, the overall production helps compensate for that. Henderson doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and the field-goal percentage remains low, limiting his value in category leagues. To this point in his career, Scoot has been more valuable in points leagues.

Finishing with his 27th double-double of the season, Clingan also provided excellent value in the blocked shots category. The six rejections were a season-high for the second-year center, and two shy of his career-high. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has been a second-round player in fantasy basketball, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (90) by a significant distance. He’ll look to end Week 20 on a high note when Portland visits Philadelphia on Sunday.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played. He had an excellent night against the Jazz, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and providing good value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.

Williams’ absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Trail Blazers’ rotation for Yang Hansen, who will slot in as the backup center. That isn’t enough to make the rookie worth the risk in redraft leagues, but he should be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Williams is on the report for injury management reasons, which could mean a return to the rotation for Yang Hansen. The rookie has been recalled from the Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate and is officially active. Hansen should only be rostered in dynasty leagues, and there would be no need to place him into active lineups if the Time Lord sits.

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.

The 76ers won’t have Joel Embiid, Adem Bona or Andre Drummond for Thursday’s game. As a result, Barlow shifts to the starting center spot, with Watford moving into the starting lineup. Also, Edwards starts because Kelly Oubre Jr. is out.

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. If Drummond can’t play, the 76ers will likely turn to Dominick Barlow as more of a small-ball center with Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker playing more minutes.

The 76ers will be down another starter for the foreseeable future, as Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL in his left elbow. Trendon Watford is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, and this would make him worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Clingan has recorded a double-double in two of his last three games and has at least 11 rebounds in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old center also made his impact felt on the defensive end with a steal and three blocks. Clingan has played under 30 minutes in four consecutive games, which has been a drag on his fantasy value lately.

Avdija returned from a back injury with 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Pacers. The story was similar Tuesday against the Hornets as he had 22 points, though the Trail Blazers lost. Avdija played 34 minutes Tuesday after playing 25 on Sunday, which is certainly a positive development as he’s now seemingly over his back injury. The Trail Blazers have two more games this week and Avdija should be available for both of them.

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.

Maxey has a tendon injury in his right pinky finger, which is his shooting hand. The injury occurred in Saturday’s loss to Atlanta, and he missed Monday’s game against the Cavaliers and had already been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Tuesday. This will have Maxey being re-evaluated on March 31, though he could remain sidelined longer than that. VJ Edgecombe is set to serve as the starting point guard against Memphis and could remain in that role for most of this month, with Cameron Payne filling out the backup minutes.

Edgecombe is back after a three-game absence, and he’s going to spend a lot of time on the ball. As long as the rookie’s back doesn’t flare up, that’s great news for managers who have VJ on their rosters.

After a three-game absence, Edgecombe has been cleared to return on Tuesday. As a result, Cameron Payne or Quentin Grimes will head to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Grimes offers a much higher fantasy ceiling than Payne. With 76ers head coach Nick Nurse saying that Edgecombe will get plenty of on-ball reps, Payne may be the odd man out of the starting lineup.

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.

Payne filled in as the starting point guard, as the 76ers were without Tyrese Maxey due to a sprained finger. While the scoring output was somewhat limited, the veteran point guard did not commit a turnover in his 28 minutes. With Maxey already ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies, Payne will retain streaming value for at least one more game.

With no Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe or Joel Embiid, there was plenty of room for Grimes to put points on the board. The 17 points were a team-high, and fantasy managers can benefit from the rebounds, assists and three-pointers as well. With Maxey and Embiid ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies, Grimes will once again figure prominently in the 76ers’ offense in what should be a more fantasy-friendly matchup.

Back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after a six-game absence, Avdija started and played 25 minutes on Sunday. Given the time off and how long his lower back injury has lingered, the Trail Blazers weren’t going to take any risks with the All-Star wing. Avdija missed all four of his three-point attempts, but fantasy managers can work with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Portland’s three-game Week 20 concludes with a back-to-back that extends into Week 21, so Avdija may be limited to two appearances.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others. The veteran guard shot 70 percent from the field against the Pacers, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. While the defensive production was limited, that isn’t an issue for Holiday on most nights.

Grant may not have done much in the rebound category, an unsurprising development for him, but he compensated for that with excellent production in other areas. The veteran forward has now scored at least 21 points in three straight and seven of his last eight games. Add in the three-pointers, steals and blocked shots, and Sunday was an excellent night to have Grant in fantasy lineups.

After struggling in two spot starts, Henderson returned to the bench on Sunday due to Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury. And the shift to his usual role may have done Scoot some good. The third-year guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field. Also notable about Henderson’s complete stat line was his lack of turnovers. He didn’t commit any in Sunday’s victory, a major step in the right direction for the Trail Blazers guard. Portland plays three games in Week 20, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.
