PHI • Forward-Guard • #9

Oubre scored in double figures in the 76ers’ final three games of the regular season and picked up right where he left off to kick off the postseason. His five triples matched his season high, which was great to see after he hit four triples total over the final five games before the postseason. He’ll look to stay hot in their series against the Celtics, which will start on Sunday in Boston.

Oubre moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, his first start since returning from an elbow injury. And he struggled, shooting 25 percent from the field and not offering much value outside of the rebounds. Dominick Barlow, who moved to the bench, finished with eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in 29 minutes. Philadelphia begins a four-game Week 24 in San Antonio on Monday.

The 76ers have made two changes to their starting lineup, one caused by Joel Embiid (oblique) being out. He’s been replaced by Drummond instead of Adem Bona, while Oubre has replaced Dominick Barlow in the starting five.

On a night when Joel Embiid and Paul George weren’t as accurate as they could be, Oubre stepped up with a good performance off the bench. Friday was his first game with at least 20 points since returning from the elbow injury that sidelined him for eight games last month. Depending on Joel Embiid’s availability for Saturday’s game against the Pistons, Oubre may take on a more prominent role offensively, even though he’s likely to come off the bench.

Oubre did not start in his first game back from an elbow injury, but the playing time was not an issue. He logged 28 minutes while starter Dominick Barlow (three points and two rebounds) played 15. The question is, how long will 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stick with Barlow as his starter? During the preseason, the expectation was that Philadelphia would go small, with Oubre and Paul George being the starting forwards. However, the combination of injuries and Barlow’s play led to him starting. That may change ahead of the playoffs, possibly as soon as Monday in Miami.

Oubre is officially back after missing close to three weeks with a sprained left elbow. He’ll come off the bench against the Hornets, with Dominick Barlow remaining in the starting five. Barlow’s playing time is likely to decrease, so his fantasy value will take a hit.

While Oubre said earlier Friday that he plans to play on Saturday, the 76ers are officially listing him as questionable. The question regarding Oubre’s role is whether he’ll return to the starting lineup immediately upon his return. Dominick Barlow is the player to watch, as he would be the odd man out if Oubre starts.

Oubre Jr. is quoted as saying, “I’m playing basketball tomorrow.” He hasn’t officially been cleared to take the court, but Oubre Jr. is on track to return after nearly three weeks on the sideline. Quentin Grimes’ playing time could take a hit with Oubre Jr. back in action.

Oubre, who was diagnosed with a sprained left elbow on March 11, appears to be closing in on a return to action. While he will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Bulls, the ability to resume on-court workouts and participate in pregame shootaround is a step in the right direction. Quentin Grimes, who returns to action after a one-game absence, should remain in the starting lineup until Oubre is cleared.

The 76ers will be down another starter for the foreseeable future, as Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL in his left elbow. Trendon Watford is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, and this would make him worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Oubre stepped up in a big way for the shorthanded 76ers in this one. He set new season highs for both points and rebounds in the win while also recording his fourth double-double of the season. Oubre has been a decent option when he has started this year, but with Tyrese Maxey (pinky) set to miss a few weeks and both Joel Embiid and Paul George still unavailable, Oubre will continue to be vital to the team’s success, which should lead to more outings like this.

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 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.
