Poeltl has not appeared in a game since December 21, and it’s unknown when that will change. With that being the case, now is a good time to add Collin Murray-Boyles if he’s sitting on the waiver wire. Sandro Mamukelashvili is another suitable option, but he does not offer CMB’s ceiling in category leagues.

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. George was a force on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s averaging 15.8 points per game as his shooting woes continue, but he’s provided fifth-round per game value on the season.

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.

Maxey has scored at least 27 points in seven of his last eight games. The 25-year-old point guard had a highlight layup late in the third quarter where he displayed perfect footwork as he broke down the defender for the easy bucket. It was truly a Maxey masterclass. He’s fourth overall in all of fantasy basketball in per game value this season. The 76ers close out the week Sunday against the Raptors.

Quickley has shouldered more of the offensive workload for the injury-plagued Raptors, who were without a trio of key contributors in this one with Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all on the shelf. They also lost RJ Barrett to an apparent left ankle injury during the late stages of the fourth quarter. The speedy 26-year-old guard dished out a season-high 13 helpers but it still wasn’t enough. He should see an uptick in creation opportunities and three-point attempts with Barnes, Ingram and Barret out of the mix, which provides a short-term boost to his fantasy appeal. The Raptors are back in action with back-to-back contests against the 76ers starting on Sunday night.

The absence of several key contributors due to injuries should lead to increased touches and creation possessions for Walter moving forward, which provides an immediate boost to his fantasy profile. The 21-year-old lacks significant scoring upside on a consistent basis, but the opportunities are there on a short-term basis with RJ Barrett (ankle), Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all dealing with injuries. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues.

Barrett injured his left ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday’s game and was ruled out late in the period. He finished with 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers. More will be learned about the severity of Barrett’s injury on Saturday, and the Raptors were without Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes for Friday’s game.

An early exit from Brandon Ingram (thumb) resulted in Barrett leading the way offensively for the Raptors. He fell one point shy of matching his season high for scoring, which he set four days prior to this game. Barrett’s production has been up and down since he returned from a 15-game absence due to a knee injury. However, he was able to step up on offense in this game, which certainly didn’t hurt for fantasy managers. Still, his fantasy impact will continue to be limited due to his lack of production in other categories.

Though CMB didn’t do much scoring, he was able to dominate the glass for Toronto. He set a new career high for boards, which came two days after the best performance of his young career. CMB should continue to start, at least until Jakob Poeltl returns. His production may come inconsistently, but he continues to show that he holds enough value to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

Quickly has been an inconsistent producer for Toronto for most of the season, and this recent stretch is no exception. He has scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games, but also has a four-point dud mixed in. However, the highlight of this game for him wasn’t in the box score. Quickley hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Raptors their third straight win. Next up on the schedule is an outing in Boston on Friday.

It had been a subpar stretch for George, but this game could help him get back on track. This matched his second-highest scoring total of the season, and it was his first time scoring at least 20 points since mid-December. George isn’t the player he once was, but he’s still more than capable of making an impact for fantasy managers.

Embiid has been on a scoring tear recently, and this game kept that going. He only played 25 minutes, though he didn’t end up needing to play the fourth quarter for the 76ers to get the win. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has scored at least 25 in seven of those. Embiid still isn’t producing consistently in other categories, but he’s clearly still one of the best scoring options in the NBA.

Edgecombe has been a fantasy beast recently. His offense wasn’t quite as good in this game, but his recent defensive impact has been unreal. Over his last five games, Edgecombe is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.6 three-pointers per game. The only player that has been better in nine-category leagues during that stretch has been his teammate Tyrese Maxey. The shooting was subpar in this game, but he’ll look to get back on track in Orlando on Friday.

Edgecombe had a rough first half shooting the ball, and he entered the break scoreless. However, he came alive after that and nearly recorded a triple-double. The poor first half resulted in a subpar field goal percentage for him, but the counting stats were incredibly strong from him. Edgecombe has found fantasy success while playing alongside ball-dominant stars, which should allow him to be productive for the rest of the season.

Though availability has been an issue, Embiid has been productive when available this season. Recently, he’s been available, and the minutes have increased as well. He has played in four straight games, his longest stretch of the season. He’s also played at least 33 minutes in each, which is more than he has played in any other game this year. He played a season-high 40 minutes in this game, which led to his third double-double in four games. Don’t expect to see him play back-to-backs, but Embiid is in the midst of a strong stretch right now.

The rookie got a second straight start and ended up having the best performance of his young career. This was what Toronto envisioned when they drafted him. The combination of passing and defensive production was fantastic for both the Raptors and fantasy managers alike. Developing a shot from deep is important, but he was able to figure out ways to score in this one. Jakob Poeltl (back) is getting closer to returning, but as long as CMB is starting, he has enough upside to be worth streaming.

Barnes fell short of a triple-double, but he was able to turn in a strong stat line in the win over Atlanta. This was the third time in his last five games that Barnes has finished with at least 10 assists. It has been an excellent season for Barnes, which has been highlighted by a major leap in efficiency. That held true in this one, as he shot at least 50 percent for a third straight game. He’ll look to keep it going in Charlotte on Wednesday.
