PHI • Forward-Guard • #9

Back in the 76ers’ lineup after a two-game absence, Oubre looked spry in his 36 minutes on the court. The lone negatives for him were the free-throw percentage and turnovers, with Oubre going 1-of-3 from the charity stripe and committing five turnovers. Depending on what happens with Tyrese Maxey, who injured his right hand during the fourth quarter, Oubre could move up in the offensive pecking order for Philadelphia’s five-game Week 20.

Oubre is back after missing the last two gams with an illness. With VJ Edgecombe (back) out, Grimes will remain in the starting five, with Oubre pushing Trendon Watford to the bench.

Oubre Jr. will be back in action following two games on the sideline, which should send Quentin Grimes back to the bench. Grimes’ production in his pair of spot starts was a bit underwhelming, so fantasy managers who streamed him won’t be heartbroken by this development.

This will be a second straight absence for Oubre, which means Quentin Grimes should start once again. He struggled mightily in Tuesday’s blowout loss and was held to just two points, but he should get the opportunity to bounce back against Utah.

Since shooting 0-of-6 from the field and scoring two points in the 76ers’ February 11 blowout loss to the Knicks, Oubre has hit double figures in five straight games. This run includes two games with at least 21, with the 76ers’ wing producing a solid stat line against the Heat. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. With Paul George suspended for 13 more games, Oubre is worth the risk in some 12-team leagues if he’s still on the waiver wire.

Oubre has seen an uptick in creation possessions with Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf, attempting at least 12 shots in seven of nine games since January 31. The 30-year-old forward has topped 20 points just once during that span but he’s been a consistent double-digit scoring threat for the last couple weeks.

It may have come in a losing effort, but Oubre produced another solid stat line on Monday. The six defensive contributions were one shy of his season-high, which the veteran wing recorded in a January 11 loss to the Raptors. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, there isn’t a good reason to leave Oubre on the waiver wire in deep leagues. And Monday’s performance will likely get him on the radar in some 12-team leagues as well.

Oubre’s had at least 15 points and at least three three-pointers in four of his last five games. The 30-year-old small forward doesn’t contribute much in the other categories, but he can deliver some points and threes. Oubre has returned 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

No Paul George (suspension) frees up scoring opportunities for 76ers not named Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey, with Oubre being at the top of that list. The Tsunami Papi had a good night against the Pelicans, recording his third double-double and first since returning from the knee injury that sidelined him for nearly two months. Oubre is still available in over 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He’s worth picking up ahead of Philadelphia’s four-game Week 16.

Oubre was the lone 76ers starter in double figures on Monday, continuing a nice run of production for him. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Oubre is in the starting lineup, he’ll be worth rostering in deep leagues and some standard ones as well.

Oubre had another solid performance for the 76ers, once again showing that he can be valuable to category-league managers. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 76ers’ wing has been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks. With Philadelphia opening Week 15 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, it’s possible that Oubre is only available for three games.

Paul George’s return after a two-game absence did not result in Oubre moving to the bench, as both were in the starting lineup. And Oubre had one of his best games of the season, knocking down four three-pointers and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. At a minimum, those who are already rostering him should hold onto the Tsunami Papi.

George is back in the lineup after a two-game absence, but his return does not push Oubre to the bench. For the first time this season, the 76ers will go with the starting five that was projected during the preseason, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. Barlow is still on a two-way contract, so Thursday’s lineup may become the norm once everyone is healthy.

Oubre scored 16 points in the first half of Tuesday’s game, giving the 76ers a needed boost with Tyrese Maxey struggling to get going. Unfortunately, for those with the Tsunami Papi rostered, there wasn’t much offensive production after halftime. Still, Oubre totaled 39 points in two starts for the injured Paul George. If George remains out for Thursday’s game against the Rockets, Oubre will be worth streaming.

With Paul George (knee) sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back, Oubre was able to get the starting nod. He has been an inconsistent producer as a reserve, but he took advantage of this opportunity and had his highest scoring game since Nov. 8. He can be productive as a starter, but that is a role that he’ll only have when there is an injury in front of him. George should be back to take on the Suns on Tuesday, so Oubre should head back to the bench.

Paul George (knee) is sidelined, which results in Oubre returning to the starting unit. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should return to take on the Suns on Tuesday. However, Oubre will get at least one game of increased value.

Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, but that could change on Wednesday. His minutes will likely be restricted, but Oubre’s return would likely mean fewer minutes for Jabari Walker if he doesn’t fall out of the rotation entirely.

Oubre will miss another game, but a return to action may not be far away. Ahead of Saturday’s win over the Knicks, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said that Oubre and Trendon Watford (adductor) are ready to play 5-on-5 in practice. For most players, that tends to be one of the final thresholds to cross before being cleared to play in games.

Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return. The 76ers will continue to rely on Quentin Grimes for wing production off the bench, and he’s worth rostering in deep leagues. Also, Dominick Barlow will remain in the starting lineup.

Oubre, who last played on November 14, has not reached the point where he can play in games. Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain will continue to provide reliable minutes on the wings, while Dominick Barlow remains in the starting lineup.

Oubre has been out since November 14th, and the team said last week that he would be re-evaluated this week. It seems that the evaluation didn’t change much in terms of his recovery time. Quentin Grimes will continue to play big minutes and put up top-60 value in fantasy formats.

Oubre has been out since November 14, recovering from a sprained LCL in his left knee. At the time, it was announced that he would be out for at least two weeks, but the timeline will be closer to four at a minimum. In addition to next week’s evaluation, there will likely be a ramp-up period for Oubre once he’s cleared for contact. His absence has enhanced the fantasy values of Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain, with the former having moved into the starting lineup.

Injured during the 76ers’ November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined.

Oubre left Friday’s game against the Pistons with a knee injury. Now the 29-year-old small forward is set to see a specialist after being diagnosed with an LCL (lateral collateral ligament) injury. Oubre is without a timetable for return. Quentin Grimes would be in line for a bigger role and boost in fantasy value while Oubre is out.

Oubre’s early exit should lead to Quentin Grimes taking on a larger role and being part of the closing unit. If Oubre remains out past this game, Grimes could slide into the starting lineup and see a boost in minutes and usage.

Oubre continues to provide excellent fantasy value, and according to Basketball Monster, he’s approaching the top-25 in nine-cat formats. While the rebounds were limited on Tuesday, the Tsunami Papi was efficient offensively and recorded four “stocks.” Oubre’s rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues and is worth adding until Paul George (knee) returns and can take on a full workload. However, fantasy managers who already have Oubre should consider selling high.

Oubre put on a show during the first quarter of Sunday’s game, scoring 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. Cam Thomas was guarding him for most of that run, and Thomas has never been known for his defensive ability. Oubre was comparatively quiet for the rest of the night, but the damage had been done. The only negative was that he tweaked his ankle during the second half. While Oubre could have returned, there was no need to risk it with the 76ers up big. The “Tsunami Papi” continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball, providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. The 76ers play four games during Week 3, and Oubre’s value will remain high for as long as Paul George and Jared McCain are out.

While Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe (14/6/4/1 with four three-pointers) have received most of the attention for Philadelphia’s 4-0 start, Oubre’s production has been valuable. He’s scored 17 points or more in three of the four games, recording his second consecutive double-double on Tuesday. The eventual return of Paul George (knee) may impact Oubre’s usage, but he’ll remain a fixture in the starting lineup. He’s only rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues. And with the Sixers playing twice within the final three days of Week 2, Oubre makes for a solid add before Friday’s games.
