Watford lands on the injury report due to an illness, but the good news is that he’s probable to play on Wednesday. With the 76ers healthy aside from Joel Embiid (appendicitis), they should have the bodies needed to account for Watford’s absence if his condition worsens.

The Spurs were already locked into their playoff seed and Fox wasn’t having an efficient game, but he still played 33 minutes in the regular season finale. San Antonio still managed to lose the game to a Nuggets team that played Nikola Jokic fewer than 20 minutes. Fox still had a good game, adding in rebounds, assists and a block, which he tends to do when Victor Wembanyama is out. In his first full season with the Spurs, Fox has provided seventh-round per game value.

Harper suffered a left thumb injury during the second half of Sunday’s game. The rookie guard played 18 minutes, finishing with nine points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Jordan McLaughlin may play a few more minutes in the fourth quarter, but the bigger concern is Harper’s availability for the playoffs, which begin next weekend.

Maxey and the 76ers closed the season with back-to-back wins. The 25-year-old shooting guard was excellent against the Bucks on Sunday, dropping 21 points on 13 attempts from the field.

The clear betting favorite for Sixth Man of the Year, Johnson was able to turn in another strong performance in this game. He still isn’t a great option in category leagues; he simply doesn’t produce in enough categories consistently. However, he has had his most efficient season this year and has been a reliable scoring option off the bench for San Antonio all season long. He has yet to miss a game, so he may suit up for the season finale despite the Spurs already locked in as the second seed in the West.

With Stephon Castle sidelined for this game, Fox stepped up as a playmaker and recorded his first double-double in over a month. Fox is still capable of producing at a high level, but he hasn’t been as aggressive as a scorer this season. The younger guards have stepped up, but Fox reminded us in this game that he can still facilitate at a high level. This type of performance was great to see with the playoffs a little over a week away.

Wemby returned from a one-game absence and played 26 minutes, which was a little more than enough for him to qualify for a 65th game played and be eligible for awards. However, he didn’t just coast to get there; he dominated this game with his third 40-point double-double in his last five appearances. Wemby has once again been one of the best players in fantasy basketball and will look to carry this dominant production into his first playoff appearance.

Edgecombe continues to stuff the stat sheet in a way that few rookies typically do. He did a little bit of everything in this game to help the 76ers end a three-game losing streak. Edgecombe has taken on a large role during his first year in the league, and he’ll need to continue to make large contributions to help the 76ers make it out of the play-in tournament. Edgecombe isn’t in contention for Rookie of the Year, but he has made a huge impact for fantasy managers and will continue to do so for a long time.

Though it wasn’t his most efficient shooting night, Maxey was able to have a strong scoring performance to help Philadelphia snap a three-game losing streak. It was also great to see Maxey have his first 30-point game since before his 10-game absence with a finger injury. With Joel Embiid (appendicitis) set to miss some time, Maxey will have to take on even more responsibility on the offensive end to carry the 76ers through the play-in tournament. That’s just more of what he’s done all season long.

Drummond was once again the backup center behind Adem Bona, but Drummond played 29 minutes to Bona’s 19. This was the second straight game that Drummond played a much larger role than Bona despite coming off the bench. This was a strong performance for Drummond, and with Joel Embiid sidelined indefinitely after undergoing an appendectomy, Drummond will be a pivotal piece for the 76ers entering the play-in tournament.

Edgecombe did many things well against Houston. He was productive from the three-point line as a scorer, but also was the lead table setter for the Sixers’ offense. And on the defensive end, the rookie guard had active hands in coming up with a pair of steals, helping round out a balanced overall performance. Edgecombe has had a very good rookie season and should only become more productive as his career lengthens.

Maxey played 33 minutes against the Rockets and finished as Philadelphia’s leading scorer. The versatile combo guard used the three-point shot to find most of his production on Thursday, while also making some contributions as a passer. While the sixth-year guards’ numbers were solid, they weren’t exceptional — the Sixers will almost certainly need Maxey to perform at a higher level down the stretch of the season, so long as Joel Embiid is out of the lineup recovering from injury.

George had one of his least impactful games of the season against the Rockets. He failed to convert any of his five three-point attempts and finished with more turnovers than made field goals on the evening. As a result, the veteran forward tied a season-low in points and scored in single digits for just the fifth time all season. The Sixers will need him to bounce back on Friday against the Pacers.

What was initially announced as an illness by the 76ers is reportedly something far more serious for Embiid. According to the team, the 7-footer is dealing with appendicitis and will undergo surgery on Thursday. Embiid is out indefinitely, and the 76ers will have to account for the likelihood that they won’t have the former league MVP for the postseason.

With no Victor Wembanyama for Wednesday’s game, Bryant effectively served as the backup center against the Trail Blazers. And the look caused the visitors some trouble defensively, with the rookie forward stepping out to shoot 5-of-6 from beyond the arc. Whether the Spurs will call on that smaller lineup on occasion during the playoffs remains to be seen. Carter showed on Wednesday that he’s capable of taking on that responsibility if called upon.

Johnson was one of six Spurs to finish Wednesday’s victory in double figures, recording his first 20-point stat line since March 23. Yet to miss a game this season, Johnson is the clear betting favorite to win NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and with good reason. The Spurs forward has been consistently productive off the bench, one of the many reasons why San Antonio has the second-best record in the NBA.

Harper was one of two replacements in the Spurs’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s game, filling the void left by Stephon Castle (knee). And the rookie had a solid night overall, recording a complete stat line in 33 minutes. The lone negative was the turnover count, as Harper was responsible for five. That said, young players are going to have nights like that on occasion. Luke Kornet, who started for Victor Wembanyama, tallied 10 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 26 minutes.

No Victor Wembanyama or Stephon Castle for Wednesday’s game meant more scoring opportunities for Fox, whose 20 shot attempts were the most in a game for him since a March 5 win over the Pistons. And the Spurs’ guard was efficient, shooting 50 percent from the field. Fox’s turnover count was a tad high, as he was responsible for four, but he finished with an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2-to-1. The Spurs are locked into the second seed in the West, so they may use Fox a little less than usual in the final two regular-season games.

Harper came off the bench and provided a significant offensive boost. He connected on all of his three-point attempts before finishing as one of San Antonio’s best scorers, but also proved to be one of the team’s best playmakers, as well.

Wemby was dialed in early in this game, shooting the ball efficiently while providing his usual presence on the defensive end. Yet, he was forced to exit in the second quarter with a rib injury and never returned. Wembanyama’s third NBA season has been sensational, one that has also led to team success. His status moving forward is one to monitor with the playoffs around the corner. His next chance to play will be on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Castle had himself a night. He was sensational as a facilitator, as reflected in the 13 assists he compiled, while his double-digit defensive rebounds were equally as impressive. The second-year guard also scored enough to finish as San Antonio’s leading scorer on the evening, despite not reaching the 20-point mark. Castle’s Year 2 leap has helped the Spurs become a legitimate title contender. His ability to impact multiple areas of the game also led him to a strong fantasy season.

Maxey logged 40 minutes on Monday but recorded an underwhelming final stat line. In his lowest-scoring game in over two months, inefficient shooting both inside and outside the arc was a big factor. And while Maxey came close to notching double-digit assists, he committed four turnovers in the process. Monday’s game aside, Maxey has played well down the stretch of the regular season. He’s constantly been one of the Sixers’ best fantasy performers, when healthy.

George had his least productive outing since returning from suspension.

Vassell shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and he’s now 6-of-16 over his last two games.

Champagnie’s six three-pointers were the most in a game for him since February 26, when he hit that many in a win over the Nets. The Spurs’ wing also provided value in the rebound category, closing Week 23 with a solid performance.

While Castle did not record any defensive stats in Saturday’s overtime defeat, his work on that end of the floor helped limit Jamal Murray to 15 points. And the second-year guard had a good day offensively, as he scored 20 points on 50 percent shooting and dished out nine assists.
