Barlow fell hard on his back during the third quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the Cavaliers and did not return. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the 76ers could look to Jabari Walker to fill the void since Cleveland starts Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. That said, Walker is not a must-stream player in that role, especially since the 76ers could also choose to start Adem Bona alongside Joel Embiid.

Diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis just before Christmas, Whitmore has begun the recovery process and will not play again this season. While his absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, it does ensure some of Washington’s younger wings will have more opportunities later in the season.

Bagley saw extended minutes on Wednesday after Alex Sarr was ejected in the second quarter against the Clippers. Bagley took advantage, using efficient shooting to record his best scoring game of January and attacking the glass hard for his first double-double since December 14. Bagley has shown on multiple occasions this season that he can put up big numbers in the right amount of playing time. But in his reserve role, he’s unlikely to sustain enough consistent production to become a reliable option in fantasy leagues.

Middleton logged one of his more productive games of the season on Wednesday, utilizing the three-point shot to pave the way for his success on offense. The veteran forward also led all Wizards starters in assists in his 27 minutes of game action. Middleton is having one of the least productive seasons of his career as he plays the veteran role for a Wizards team trying to develop young talent. He’s not someone fantasy managers should consider rostering at this time.

George led all Washington players in scoring on Wednesday, getting the job done both inside and outside the paint. He made some plays with his athleticism and showed off his well-roundedness as a facilitator along the way. George has played well throughout his sophomore season — his consistency leaves optimism for even greater ceilings as a fantasy basketball player. He’ll look to land even more production on Friday against the Kings.

Sarr picked up his second technical foul with less than two minutes remaining in the first half, prompting a premature end to his night. In 13 minutes, the second-year center accounted for four points, one rebound, one assist and two blocked shots. Marvin Bagley III and Tristan Vukčević will handle the center responsibilities during the second half.

While he hasn’t been the elite fantasy option he’s been in seasons past, George has continued to provide reliable category-league value. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats, aligning with his season-long production. That has exceeded George’s ADP (83). Again, he may not be the elite version that he’s been in the past, but George has been solid.

Give the Cavaliers credit for their work on the defensive end of the floor, especially in terms of defending Maxey. He never seemed comfortable offensively, resulting in one of his poorer performances of the season. Nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for Maxey, who should be an All-Star this season. So, fantasy managers should bank on his putting forth a better performance in Friday’s rematch.

Embiid shot the ball well and recorded a complete stat line, but the numbers were modest outside of the points and percentages. Also, the 76ers’ center was responsible for six of the team’s 12 turnovers. This wasn’t the best night for Embiid, but more importantly for fantasy managers, his availability has not been an issue recently. He’ll look to redeem himself on Friday when the two teams meet again.

Edgecombe is dealing with a left adductor contusion. The 20-year-old shooting guard had 15 points in Monday’s win over the Raptors. It’s likely that Edgecombe will be available once again given his probable designation. He’s been one of the best players in fantasy basketball recently, providing first-round per game value over the last two weeks.

After getting up 19 shots in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, Edgecombe only attempted seven in Monday’s rematch. A significant reason for the decrease was the returns of Joel Embiid and Paul George, who were both unavailable on Sunday. That said, Edgecombe made the most of his opportunities, shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Add in the eight assists, and this was a solid start to Week 13 for the rookie guard.

After being a late scratch for Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, George played 29 minutes on Monday. The nature of the game may have also been a factor in the veteran wing’s playing time, as the 76ers led by a comfortable margin for most of the night. Over the past two weeks, George has shot 41.5 percent from the field, which has been the most significant issue for his fantasy value.

Embiid was back in the lineup after missing Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, and, for the most part, the overall production was excellent. However, he was responsible for seven turnovers, the most in a game for the 7-footer this season. High-turnover nights have not been the norm for Embiid this season, as he has two games with more than five, so there isn’t much need for concern.

One day after scoring 38 points in a loss to the Raptors, Maxey dropped in another 33 in Monday’s rematch. He’s played at an All-Star level this season and is ranked among the best players in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. The lone negative for Maxey managers is Philadelphia’s schedule: they have only two games left in Week 13 and will be finished on Friday.

Embiid sat out Sunday’s loss to Toronto, but it remains to be seen if he will get back on the court for the second leg of the Sixers’ back-to-back set against the same opponent. If Embiid misses a second straight game, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should see increased playing time.

George was a late scratch on Sunday, but he’s got a chance to take the court for the second leg of Philly’s back-to-back set. If George is out for a second straight game, Kelly Oubre Jr. could remain in the starting lineup. Oubre Jr. delivered 13 points, five rebounds, four steals, three swats and a triple across 34 minutes on Sunday, and he’s worth adding off the waiver wire in the hopes that he can build off of that performance.

With the Wizards trading CJ McCollum, Johnson will have every opportunity to show what he can do the rest of the way. He was efficient in Phoenix, sharing the team lead in points with Alex Sarr. Along with Sarr and Kyshawn George, Johnson may offer the highest rest-of-season ceiling of any player on the Wizards’ roster. Washington plays three games in Week 13, starting with the Clippers on Wednesday.

One of the few positives to take from the Wizards’ blowout loss was Sarr’s play, with the second-year center recording another double-double. With it unknown when (or if) Trae Young will make his debut for the team, Sarr may not get many opportunities to establish in-game chemistry with the Wizards’ new point guard. However, as long as he isn’t shut down later in the season, Sarr should continue to offer excellent fantasy value.

Maxey heated up in the second quarter, finishing the opening half with a team-high 14 points, despite going just 4-of-10 from the floor. He took over the game in the second half, scoring 24 of his 38 points in the final two quarters and overtime, including a trio of key buckets in the final minute. The 25-year-old scoring machine drained a clutch step back three-pointer with 20 seconds left to give Philadelphia a four-point advantage which they were unable to hang onto. He finished just shy of reaching the 40-point plateau for the fifth time this season and has scored at least 27 points in 10 of his last 12 games since December 19. The two teams will square off again on Monday night for the tail-end of a back-to-back as the 76ers kick off a three-game week that also includes a pair of showdowns against the Cavaliers.

Edgecombe connected for a game-tying three-pointer with 16 seconds left in overtime, his first trey of the night after missing his first six attempts.

There were few positive takeaways for the rebuilding Wizards at the outset of the Trae Young era as they gave up 128 points on the defensive end of the floor and shot just 42.5 percent on the night. The 20-year-old big man has been extremely impactful for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 17.2 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks through 28 games. The Wizards close out the week with a road tilt against the Suns on Sunday evening.

It was a bit of a mixed bag from George against the Magic. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 18 points on 21 shots and missed all seven of his three-point attempts.

Embiid has progressed to the point where he’s played for three weeks in a row now without missing time due to injury. The 31-year-old center has mostly played over 30 minutes in those games, as well. That translated into good production Friday as Embiid had at least 22 points and at least nine rebounds for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided fifth-round value over the last two weeks in per game value. Embiid is in line for his fourth game this week against the Raptors Sunday.

Robbins claims that “the plan is for [Young] to rehab his ankle in-house” and take his time returning to the court. The Wizards then anticipate Young picking up his $49 million player option for 2026, at which time they will see how well he fits alongside young players like Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George. Slow-playing Young this season makes sense, considering the Wizards’ first-round pick is top-eight-protected. That means that, if the Wizards lose enough games to pick inside the top eight in the 2026 NBA Draft, they will keep their pick, but if they pick outside of the top eight, the New York Knicks will control the rights to the Wizards’ pick.

With CJ McCollum (quad) sidelined for the first time this season, Carrington entered the starting unit for Washington. It seems likely that he’ll get at least one more start on Friday against the Pelicans since the Wizards traded for Trae Young and shipped out McCollum right after the game ended. Young had been dealing with a quad injury, so Carrington should start until he is available to make his debut for the Wizards, giving him limited streaming value.

Rumors had been heating up, and now it’s official. Young will head to Washington after appearing in just 10 games during his eighth season with the Hawks. Young will be reunited with Travis Schlenk, who drafted Trae in 2018 and is now an executive with the Wizards. The Wizards will have the rest of this season and, assuming he opts into his contract for next year, all of next season to decide if they want to keep Young around. It was a low-cost move for Washington, and they added a former All-NBA player that led the NBA in assists last season. If they’re able to add another top pick in the draft this season, the Wizards will have one of the best young cores in the NBA and a star point guard to help facilitate things on offense. Plus, Washington has enough length to make up for Young’s defensive limitations. Trae has been sidelined recently with a quad injury, but that could certainly heal up quickly now that he’s on a new team.

Between injuries and subpar performances, it was a rough start to the season for Coulibaly. However, this recent stretch has been a productive one. He wasn’t able to contribute any defensive stats, which has inflated his recent value, but he was able to have a solid night on offense. He’s known for his defense, but any consistency on offense will help him be even more valuable for fantasy managers, which makes his recent games encouraging.

This was the second 20-point game of his rookie season, with the other also coming during the seven games since he moved back into the starting lineup. Johnson has flashed plenty of upside as a rookie, mostly as a scorer and shooter, though his production in standard fantasy leagues has been limited this season.

Coulibaly was one of six Wizards in double figures on Tuesday, but the steals category is where he set himself apart. The five steals were a career-high for the third-year wing, who recorded four in a January 2 win over the Nets. Rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coulibaly has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While those who have him rostered may consider selling high, managers in leagues where Coulibaly is available should think about picking him up.

While not as prolific as twin brother Julian was on New Year’s Eve against the Knicks, Champagnie gave the Wizards welcome scoring off the bench on Tuesday. His four three-pointers were a season-high, and the Wizards’ wing also offered solid production in the assist and steal categories. Champagnie’s fantasy ceiling hinges on the availability of other wings, most notably Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert. Both were out on Tuesday, resulting in more opportunities for Champagnie.

Sunday’s game was Kispert’s first since December 23, when he exited a loss to the Hornets with a hamstring injury. The former first-round pick had a solid night shooting-wise, making 50 percent of his attempts from the field and knocking down two three-pointers. However, Kispert is not worth the risk in most leagues, even with Kyshawn George (hip) essentially week-to-week. Players like Tre Johnson (13/3/3/1 with one three-pointer) will be a priority for the Wizards, and there will likely come a point when Will Riley (6/3/0/1) figures more prominently in the rotation as well.
