PHI • Forward • #8

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.

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.

George wasn’t a prolific scorer in Saturday’s victory, but he hit two three-pointers early in the third quarter that would help Philadelphia tighten its grip on the game. PG shot the ball relatively well and provided solid value in rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. For the season, George is providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (83). The 76ers open a four-game Week 12 on Monday against the Nuggets.

George knocked down four three-pointers but wasn’t much of a threat against his former organization as the Thunder’s athleticism and depth proved to be a mismatch for the 76ers all night. The 35-year-old veteran forward has failed to break 20 points in four consecutive games since erupting for a season-high 35 against the Hawks back on December 14.

George was initially listed as probable, so it isn’t surprising that he’ll suit up against his former team. George has shot worse than 40 percent in each of his last three appearances and will look to get back on track in this one.

While the 76ers are still taking steps to manage George’s left knee properly, he’s on track to play on Sunday against the Thunder. If, for some reason, he cannot play, Quentin Grimes is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.

George struggled with his shooting for a third consecutive game and is now shooting 12-of-39 from the field over that span. The inefficiency led to a below-average scoring performance from the decorated veteran forward. Yet, even without the scoring, George hit the glass hard to earn his first double-double of the season, and also tied a season high in assists to finish with a solid outing from a fantasy basketball perspective. Still, fantasy managers are hoping he can regain his shooting touch soon and return to form as a scorer.

George didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but to the delight of fantasy managers, he recorded a complete stat line. The six defensive contributions were the most in a game for him this season, surpassing his five-steal effort against the Hawks on November 30. Like Joel Embiid, George should benefit from getting a little time off, as the 76ers won’t play again until Friday in Chicago.

George was held to a season-low seven points in Friday’s win over the Knicks, and he’ll sit out the second leg of the back-to-back. Quentin Grimes started during George’s most recent absence and could get the nod in this one, though he’ll at least see a bump in minutes.

Having scored at least 20 points in two of his three games before Sunday, George is beginning to round into form. The 76ers’ wing was elite in Atlanta, as he shot 7-of-10 from three and recorded a season-high point total. Over the past two weeks, George has provided top-40 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Unfortunately for those who have PG rostered, the 76ers’ Week 9 schedule is not good. In addition to them playing just twice, the games are part of a back-to-back.

George shared the team lead in assists with VJ Edgecombe, a byproduct of the 76ers’ lack of starting point guard Tyrese Maxey (illness). While the veteran wing has started slowly after undergoing offseason knee surgery, he enjoyed his best game of the season on Friday. With Joel Embiid able to say the same thing, the 76ers (and fantasy managers) are likely encouraged by what they saw, even with the Pacers being one of the worst teams in the NBA. George will look to end Week 8 on a high note when Philadelphia visits Atlanta on Sunday.

George has been a fixture on Philadelphia’s injury report throughout the season, and that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. With George set to take the court, Justin Edwards could see a reduction in playing time.

George is back on the injury report as the 76ers look to manage his return from offseason knee surgery. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, Justin Edwards’ playing time would increase after logging just one minute in Friday’s win over the Bucks. However, Edwards would be worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

George notched one of his better performances of the season on Friday. In his seventh appearance, the veteran wing reached the 20-point mark for the second time, while also tying a season-high in assists. Most importantly, George logged 30 minutes for the first time all season, which could serve as an encouraging sign in terms of where he’s currently at from a health standpoint. His final line against the Bucks isn’t elite by any means, but it should allow fantasy managers to at least be optimistic about George’s potential this season.

George had been listed as questionable, but will now miss this game with Joel Embiid (knee recovery) being upgraded to questionable. The 76ers also play the Bucks on Friday, so it appears that the team would prefer for Embiid to play on Thursday and then likely sit him on Friday with Paul George returning for that game.

George had been listed as questionable, but will now miss this game. During George’s last absence, Justin Edwards started and contributed 13 points in 22 minutes. Edwards may start again, but with Quentin Grimes (calf) after a one-game absence, he will likely take on more of George’s minutes.

The good news is that the 76ers are no longer listing the back issue that was included on the injury report for Tuesday’s win over the Wizards. George only played 18 minutes as the team continues to manage his workload. If allowed to play on Thursday, he will remain restricted as the 76ers take a measured approach to PG’s playing time.

George will be available to play in a third straight game despite the initial questionable tag. He played a season-high 28 minutes on Sunday and should be in for a similar workload in this game. Quentin Grimes (calf) is out, so George could see a couple extra minutes.

George was back in the starting lineup after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Heat, pushing Justin Edwards (4/0/1/2 with one three-pointer in 16 minutes) to the bench. While he played only 21 minutes, George was efficient with his time on the floor. He shot 60 percent from the field and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. The 76ers host the Hawks on Sunday in their final game of Week 6.

George will be back after a one-game absence and will immediately return to the starting unit. His return will push Justin Edwards back to the bench, but the rest of the starters will remain unchanged.

George practiced on Wednesday and is considered questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Nets. If he can play, Dominick Barlow is the player most likely headed to the bench. And with Trendon Watford (adductor) out for at least two weeks, the 76ers could really use an infusion of depth at the forward positions.

It’s an encouraging update for the Sixers who are also without Trendon Watford (adductor) and Kelly Oubre (knee) for at least the next two weeks. Joel Embiid (knee) has been out for the last eight games, so Philly is sorely shorthanded right now. If George and Edgecombe are forced to sit out Friday’s matchup with the Nets, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Eric Gordon and Dominick Barlow will pick up the slack by committee.

George was initially listed as probable for Tuesday’s game against the Magic, but he’ll ultimately miss the contest with a sprained right ankle. Even if George was active, he’d have been on a minutes restriction. Trendon Watford had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists against the Heat on Sunday and could see more minutes off the bench with George out.

George has a sprained right ankle, but it does not appear severe enough to keep him out of Tuesday’s game. The veteran forward will be under a minutes restriction, as he continues to work his way back from an offseason knee procedure.

George came out scalding hot on Thursday, scoring 11 of the game’s first 15 points. He remains on a minutes restriction, which nailed PG to the bench in crunch time and the extra period, but he made the most of his 25 minutes. It’s unknown when George’s restriction will be removed, but Thursday showed that he’s capable of providing reliable value immediately. The 76ers host Miami in their final game of Week 5 on Sunday, and it isn’t part of a back-to-back.

George is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors. He’ll serve as the small-ball power forward in this lineup, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. While he should remain in the rotation, Barlow is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball.

George made his debut on Monday in 21 minutes against the Clippers, but then sat out on Wednesday against the Raptors. He’ll now return on Thursday and should continue to play minutes in the mid-20s. We should not expect the 35-year-old to play in both ends of a back-to-back for a few weeks, so he will remain off fantasy radars in shallower formats for now.

George logged 21 minutes in his season debut on Monday, but he’ll be held out against Toronto. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should suit up against the Bucks on Thursday. Quentin Grimes or Justin Edwards should fill in as a starter, with Grimes playing a larger role regardless of who gets the nod.

Making his first appearance of the season, George was on a minutes restriction on Monday. Given the time missed, it’s unsurprising that he was rusty offensively. However, the veteran wing did provide solid value in the rebound and blocked shot categories. George was used at both forward positions, starting the second half at the four with Quentin Grimes replacing Dominick Barlow (7/1/0/3). Obviously, George’s restriction isn’t going away anytime soon. And with a midweek back-to-back, fantasy managers should anticipate him sitting out either Wednesday’s game against Toronto or Thursday’s game in Milwaukee.

At long last, George will make his season debut on Monday. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from the veteran forward in his first game back. He steps into the void left by Kelly Oubre Jr., who is out with a sprained left knee. The other change to the lineup is Barlow, who began the season as a starter and will resume those duties with Trendon Watford heading to the bench.
