Maxey had one of his least productive offensive performances of the season on Friday. He scored fewer the 20 points for the first time, due to inefficient shooting and relatively low volume, but also wasn’t as productive as a passer against the Bucks. The versatile combo guard made up for his lack of offensive output on the defensive end, however. Philadelphia ultimately didn’t need Maxey to be in top form, as the team cruised to a 15-point road win on the second night of a back-to-back. Maxey, one of the NBA’s top scorers, likely won’t have another performance like Friday’s for a little while. He should resume his offensive domination on Sunday against the Lakers.

Grimes had the hot hand on Friday and used it to finish as the Sixers’ leading scorer for the game. He was especially dialed in from deep, accounting for more than a third of Philadelphia’s 17 made three-pointers on the evening, while also making contributions on the glass and finishing as one of the Sixers’ most productive passers. Arguably, his only blemish was the five turnovers he committed, which were nearly half of Philly’s total. Still, Grimes was productive off the bench and continues to find ways to contribute.

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.

Embiid had 12 points and six rebounds in the loss to the Warriors on Thursday. It was his first game since November 30 and the 31-year-old center will sit out again Friday against the Bucks for injury recovery purposes. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center duties in Embiid’s absence.

With Joel Embiid under a minutes restriction and Paul George unavailable, Maxey was once again left to shoulder the offensive workload on Thursday. He had an excellent night, marking the ninth game this season in which he’s scored at least 35 points. And Maxey’s lone blocked shot was huge, as his rejection of a De’Anthony Melton shot attempt as time expired preserved the one-point victory. While many expected Maxey to provide excellent fantasy value this season, he has exceeded his Yahoo! ADP, providing top-5 value in eight-cat formats.

Edgecombe wasn’t the most impactful scorer on Thursday, but he did make the game’s biggest shot. His putback of a Tyrese Maxey fadeaway with nine-tenths of a second remaining gave Philadelphia the 99-98 victory, with the 76ers avoiding losing a game they led by at least 20 points after one quarter for the first time in franchise history. Despite averaging just 8.7 points per game, Edgecombe has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. His production in the rebound, assist and steal categories has been a factor, as it was against the Warriors.

Thursday’s game was Embiid’s first since November 30, so the minutes restriction was unsurprising. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the 7-footer missed all six of his three-point attempts. And until Embiid can get in a solid run of games, managers will have to deal with a lack of sharpness. Don’t expect to see him on the court when the 76ers visit the Bucks on Friday, meaning enhanced roles for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

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.

Embiid, who was sidelined for injury management reasons, will be available to play against the Warriors. Given the time missed and the fact that both knees have been problematic, his minutes will be restricted. That said, Embiid doesn’t need to log 33-35 minutes to provide solid fantasy value. Andre Drummond has a lower fantasy ceiling than he does when starting, but managers should hold onto him because of Embiid’s injury history.

Grimes missed Tuesday’s game with a calf injury, but will be back on the court on Thursday. With Joel Embiid (knees) also likely back on Thursday, there likely won’t be high usage for Grimes, but he should return to his normal allotment of minutes.

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.

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.

Embiid had been listed as doubtful, but with Paul George being ruled out with his own knee recovery, it seems the Sixers are hopeful to get Embiid on the court and stagger the missed games from their two aging stars. That would obviously mean fewer minutes for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona, with Drummond returning to a reserve role, but don’t expect Tyrese Maxey’s usage to change much.

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.

Embiid is dealing with right and left knee issues and appears unlikely to return to action on Thursday. When healthy, Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he will retain that role until Embiid is cleared to play. Managers in 12-team leagues should be rostering Drummond.

Grimes did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Wizards. His absence led to Justin Edwards picking up additional minutes off the bench and Eric Gordon entering the rotation. That may remain the case on Thursday if Grimes remains out, but only Edwards would be worth a look in deep leagues.

Walker has played a surprisingly large role for a player on a two-way contract, but that hasn’t led to much production in the box score. However, that didn’t hold true in this game, as he was able to record a double-double for the first time this season. Walker holds some value in dynasty formats, but he shouldn’t be relied on in redraft leagues, barring multiple injuries to forward currently in front of him on the depth chart.

Drummond returned to the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, and he immediately returned to dominating the glass. He needed just 17 minutes to record his eighth double-double of the year. Drummond’s value is tied to Embiid’s availability, and with a back-to-back coming up on Thursday and Friday, Drummond should get at least one more start this week. Unfortunately, his value takes a big hit when Embiid plays.

Maxey didn’t need long to dominate the lowly Wizards. His 29 minutes were the fewest he has played in a game this season, and he was able to lead both teams in scoring to help the 76ers rebound after a double-overtime loss on Sunday. Maxey also matched his season high for steals. There were questions in the past about how Joel Embiid or Paul George would impact Maxey, but it has become clear this year that this is now his team.

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.

Drummond is good to go for Tuesday’s game, but he was limited to six minutes off the bench in Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Hawks. Adem Bona, who played 22 minutes on Sunday, will figure prominently in the rotation despite coming off the bench. Joining Drummond in the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Dominick Barlow.

Grimes is unavailable due to a sore right calf. With the reserve guard having played 47 minutes in Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Hawks, there will be a lot of minutes available. Justin Edwards’ playing time should receive a boost, but he has not been consistently productive enough to impact fantasy basketball.

Initially deemed probable on Monday, Grimes’ most recent status suggests he’s in danger of missing Tuesday’s tilt with Washington. With Paul George (knee, back) also questionable, Jared McCain and Justin Edwards should be in line for additional work.

Due to a sore right calf, Grimes is a late addition to the 76ers’ injury report for Tuesday. With Paul George (knee, back) questionable, this could be a spot where Grimes starts if he’s able to play. If both players sit, Justin Edwards and Jared McCain will have added importance, with the latter being the player worth streaming in 12-team leagues.

With VJ Edgecombe (calf) back after a three-game absence, Grimes returned to playing a reserve role. However, Grimes started the second half in place of Edgecombe and ended up having an excellent night. Edgecombe only played 20 minutes in his return, but that will likely change as he plays more games. Grimes enjoyed an excellent night and will continue to play the sixth man role, but nights like this won’t come often.

Maxey’s late-game heroics helped force the first overtime, but he also faltered late, which resulted in a second overtime. He hit a three-pointer off an offensive rebound late in the fourth quarter to tie the game, but with a chance to seal the win in overtime, he missed two free throws. Still, it was an excellent performance for Maxey, which led to him exceeding 40 points for the fourth time this season. Even with Joel Embiid back and Paul George healthy, this is clearly Tyrese Maxey’s team.

Embiid suited up for the first time after a nine-game absence and was able to log 30 minutes. That was a new season high for him, and while he wasn’t great, he was at least back out on the floor, which is a step in the right direction. He was left on the bench for the second overtime, so he likely hit his minutes restriction. The 76ers have a four-game week upcoming, which includes a back-to-back, so Embiid should be able to suit up three times.

Drummond will be able to suit up despite suffering a knee contusion on Friday. However, with Joel Embiid back and starting, Drummond will be pushed back to the bench. Embiid likely won’t play significant minutes, so Drummond should still play a large role.

Edgecombe will be back after missing Philadelphia’s last three games. He’ll immediately return to the starting lineup, which will push Quentin Grimes back to his role as the 76ers’ sixth man. He’ll still play a large role, but Grimes won’t have the same upside as a reserve.
