While Shead did not have a great afternoon shooting the basketball, he was excellent at distributing it. The first-round pick out of Houston is the seventh rookie and first since Deron Williams to have an eight-game run in which he recorded at least 53 assists and nine turnovers or less. Like fellow rookie Jonathan Mogbo, Shead has received additional opportunities because veterans have been unavailable. Managers whose leagues will be active during Week 23 should strongly consider adding Shead, especially if they need assists.

While Agbaji finished one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, this was not his best performance. The turnover count was more concerning than the field goal percentage, as he racked up four. However, the Raptors’ current rotation looks nothing like it will when the team is whole. Fantasy managers watching Agbaji with an eye toward next season’s drafts should keep that in mind; even if he were to blow up, his draft value will be pretty low with a healthy Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett in the fold.

Once again filling in for the injured Scottie Barnes, Mogbo was excellent in Brooklyn. He recorded his first double-double, joining Jared Rhoden, Jamal Shead and Ja’Kobe Walter as Raptors who have recorded their first double-double this season. With the Raptors out of postseason contention, playing time should not be an issue for Mogbo during the season’s final week, regardless of Barnes’ availability.

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.

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.

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.

Quickley has been in and out of the lineup with rest days lately, which could explain his rusty jumper as he was just 5-of-16 from the field Friday. The 25-year-old point guard still had a big impact on the game as he was just two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double. It’s difficult to say Quickley will be able to build on this performance because it’s just as likely the Raptors give him another game off for rest.

Walter led the team in minutes played with 32 as well as points with 22 in Friday’s loss to the Pistons.

Ingram has not made his Raptors debut, as he injured his ankle in early December while a member of the Pelicans and has been sidelined since. While Rajakovic’s update is positive, it will not impact fantasy basketball this season. Most leagues do not include Week 23, and even if Ingram were to be cleared to appear in a game, his minutes would likely be limited. Ingram can provide solid fantasy value, which can be assumed even though we’ve yet to see him share the court with Scottie Barnes. However, injury issues will dent his value during draft season. Ingram has not exceeded 65 games since his rookie season.

While it was reported on March 10 that Gradey could do some shooting and running, updates have been scarce since.

Finishing the season ranked just inside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Gradey’s fantasy prospects for 2025-26 took a significant hit when the Raptors acquired Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans at the February trade deadline.

Barrett was back after getting a rest night against Chicago on Tuesday, and based on recent trends, he will likely get another one against the Pistons on Friday. However, while available against Portland, Barrett was able to have a productive night in the loss. He typically hasn’t been productive on the defensive end, but his four total defensive stats in this game were a new season-high for him, and his three steals were the most he has had in a game since before the All-Star break. However, managers shouldn’t expect this to be the new norm for Barrett.

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.

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.
