|---|---|---|
 |  | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 30-year-old will sit out this game due to left knee soreness. In his absence, De'Anthony Melton will move into the starting five. He played well earlier in the season when Tyrese Maxey was sidelined. That being said, Melton appears to be a decent streaming option for Saturday's slate. Matisse Thybulle could have an expanded role as well, but doesn't offer much upside on the offensive side. |
|  | Philadelphia 76ers forward Georges Niang (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 29-year-old has been cleared to play after missing morning shootaround due to a non-COVID related illness. Normally, Niang isn't worth looking at as a streaming option. However, Tobias Harris (knee) is sidelined on Saturday, so Niang is likely to have a bigger role in the rotation. D'Anthony Melton will make the start and is a much better streaming option than Niang. Possibly, Niang could have deep league streaming appeal, but don't get too excited. |
Tuesday, January 10
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) has officially been listed as probable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. He was forced to miss the team's last contest due to a non-COVID illness, but it looks like that eased up enough for him to take the court a couple of days later. The 37-year-old shouldn't be on any fantasy radars unless desperately needed or in a very deep league. Paul Reed and Georges Niang will likely see fewer minutes with Tucker playing. |
|  | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play and start against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. Embiid was questionable to play with foot soreness but will play through the discomfort, ending a three-game absence. If Embiid is limited in any way, Montrezl Harrell and P.J. Tucker would likely pick up the slack. |
Monday, January 09
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness. In his absence, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed have picked up additional playing time. Both players have been doing well, but Harrell is the more consistent option between the two of them. He'll be a fine streaming option while Embiid is sidelined. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update on Embiid. |
Saturday, January 07
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) won't play on Sunday against Detroit, marking his third consecutive absence. The big man is battling foot soreness, although it doesn't seem to be anything serious, so hopefully, he'll be back for Tuesday's rematch in Philly. In the meantime, Montrezl Harrell or Paul Reed may enter the starting lineup. However, Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, and James Harden should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. The veteran is under the weather, so he'll join Joel Embiid (foot) on the sidelines for this contest. Georges Niang, who scored 11 points in 25 minutes versus the Clippers, may see an uptick in production from off the bench, giving him streaming potential for managers in deep fantasy formats. |
Friday, January 06
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man missed Wednesday's game as well due to right foot soreness. The expectation is that Tyrese Maxey will remain in the starting five for Friday. Although, it's worth noting that Montrezl Harrell recorded 19 points with four blocks in 28 minutes of action on Wednesday. He is a risky fantasy play, but should have increased value while Embiid is off the court. The Sixers don't have many options, so Harrell is likely to play close to 30 minutes. |
Thursday, January 05
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) will move back into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Maxey will make his first start since returning from his injured foot. He's likely starting because center Joel Embiid (foot) is out, so the Sixers want to get a boost on offense. It's unknown if Maxey will move back to the bench after this game. Regardless, he should continue to carry reliable fantasy value whether it's in the starting five or off the bench. |
Wednesday, January 04
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Indiana. Prior to Monday's meeting with New Orleans, he was on the injury report with a back problem and Embiid now has a sore left foot. He had no trouble playing through injury against the Pelicans, going off for 42 points, and it's possible that he won't be bothered by his latest ailment either. However, if that's not the case and Embiid sits out the game, Montrezl Harrell is looking at his sixth start of the campaign and Paul Reed has a chance to play an active role in the rotation. Harrell has done well with the starting unit, averaging 11.8 points and 7.2 rebounds. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Indiana due to a sore left foot. The absence marks the first for Embiid since Nov. 27, paving the way for Paul Reed, Georges Niang and Montrezl Harrell to play elevated roles in the frontcourt. Without Embiid and his 33.5 PPG in the mix, James Harden, Tobias Harris and De'Anthony Melton all have elevated scoring upsides in their own right against a Pacers unit that is in the bottom third of the league in defensive efficiency. Embiid was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December, with his next chance to suit up coming Friday against the Bulls. |
Monday, January 02
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man is dealing with lower back soreness, so this will likely be more of a game-time decision. His absence would mean more playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed. Neither of them are great fantasy options, but Harrell is the better choice between the two. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Embiid. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is available for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The superstar big man was considered questionable earlier in the day due to back soreness. It appears he's good to go and shouldn't be limited during this contest. Embiid was fantastic during their last meeting against the Pelicans. Hopefully, he'll be able to do significant damage against them on Monday. Fantasy managers should make sure Embiid in their lineups for this game. |
Sunday, January 01
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young guard played for the first time in a month and a half on Friday. Understandably, the Sixers are going to take the cautious approach and rest Maxey in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fellow guard James Harden (rest) will also be sidelined during this contest. That means, Shake Milton and De'Anthony Melton are going to play big roles on Saturday. Both players are looking like excellent fantasy options with two of the Sixers' starters sidelined. |
Friday, December 30
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) has been given the probable status to make his return from an 18-game absence after fracturing his left foot in a mid-November game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the first time the Sixers will have all three of their core starters together since October 29th. With Maxey coming back to claim his minutes again, Shake Milton and De'Anthony Melton will take a hit to their fantasy value. Milton more so taking the brunt of that one. |
Sunday, December 18
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (back) was able to practice on Sunday. This is great news after Harris was forced to sit out of Friday's game. He has been removed from the injury report, so it sounds like it's only going to be a one game absence for Harris. His return will send Matisse Thybulle to the second unit, which is going to limit his fantasy value. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Harris back in their lineups for Monday. |
Wednesday, December 14
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will not play Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Melton is dealing with back tightness so the Sixers are likely using precaution by holding Melton out on Tuesday. Matisse Thybulle will get the spot start with Melton out and is a good stream for defensive stats. Shake Milton should also get an uptick in minutes and usage. |
Tuesday, December 13
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers forward Danuel House Jr. (foot) is expected to play versus the 14-11 Sacramento Kings. The 29-year-old missed the previous two games because of a left foot laceration. However, considering House has averaged only 4.9 points in 18.4 minutes per game this season, there probably aren't many fantasy managers who are anxiously awaiting an update on his official status for Tuesday's matchup. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been given the questionable tag ahead of their game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old was able to play around 28 minutes in their last contest against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. This could just be a precautionary injury report, but popping up as questionable that close to tipoff isn't a great sign. If he can't suit up, look for Shake Milton to enter the starting lineup and Furkan Korkmaz to get some added time off of the bench. |
Wednesday, December 07
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) was able to participate in Wednesday's practice in an extremely limited fashion, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, but a return appears protracted, as he is still unable to jump. There was optimism that the third-year guard could return in 3-4 weeks from a broken left foot, but it appears Philly and fantasy managers will be facing some time added on. The 22-year-old was in the midst of a potential All-Star campaign, averaging 22.9 points per game, while shooting 42.2 percent from long range across his first 15 contests. James Harden and Shake Milton will continue to hold down ballhandling duties in Maxey's absence and can be seen to have elevated floors for as long as the guard is sidelined. |
Sunday, December 04
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) said after Sunday's practice that he's on pace to play in Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar guard has been sidelined since November 3rd due to a right foot sprain. There is no word on whether or not Harden will be limited during his first game back. Regardless, fantasy managers should make sure to get Harden in their lineups if he's active. De'Anthony Melton and Shake Milton will take a hit in fantasy value with Harden returning to the roster. However, the Sixers are still banged up, so both Melton and Milton should continue getting significant playing time. |
Friday, December 02
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) had to leave the team's last game after playing just 23 minutes because he wasn't feeling well. He's still dealing with this non-COVID illness and the team has listed him as questionable for Friday's game. He was not able to make the team's shootaround but said that he was starting to feel better. It's hard to say whether or not Harris is trending towards playing or sitting at this point. Updates will be needed closer to game time. If he can't go, Georges Niang and Danuel House Jr. will likely receive some more minutes. |
Monday, November 28
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar center has missed each of the last four games due to a left foot sprain. The return of Embiid will mean less playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed. They were getting increased value without Embiid, but won't offer much upside with the big man healthy. Fantasy managers should expect Embiid to have a full workload, so get him back in your lineups. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar center has missed each of the last four games due to a left foot sprain. Although, it appears he has a chance of returning for this game. There is no word on whether or not Embiid would be limited during his first game back. Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would lose most of their streaming appeal if Embiid does suit up for this game. |
Tuesday, November 22
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded to probable for the team's game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. This is great news for the Sixers who are already going to be missing Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey. Fantasy managers will also be excited when he's the number one option on the team as the other only other starter that's playing is PJ Tucker. Harris should get the highest usage he's seen all season as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks. |
Monday, November 21
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will miss at least the next two contests. The superstar big man has been diagnosed with a left mid-foot sprain, which means he'll sit out Tuesday and Friday night. This is awful for the Sixers with multiple starters already on the sideline. The combination of Shake Milton, Montrezl Harrell, Georges Niang and Paul Reed will attempt to fill the void. Milton being the best streaming option out of the bunch. Also, De'Anthony Melton is someone who is worth looking at as well, assuming he's still available in fantasy formats. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) was back at practice on Monday. This is a great sign that Harris can possibly return for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers desperately need Harris back with Joel Embiid (hip), James Harden (foot), and Tyrese Maxey (foot) all sidelined right now. If healthy, Harris would see all the touches he can get with significant playing time on Tuesday. He'll be an excellent fantasy option, assuming he's able to suit up for their next contest. |
Saturday, November 19
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) exited in the first half of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a left foot injury. He did not return. The 22-year-old was scorching before his night ended, amassing 24 points, five assists, and a block in only 21 minutes of work. The team announced he would have an MRI on Saturday. However, Maxey will likely miss some time. With Philly also without James Harden (foot), De'Anthony Melton and Shake Milton, who combined for 25 points in the win, are expected to make up the backcourt, with the former being the better fantasy option. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks because of a left foot ailment, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The 22-year-old injured his foot during Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, opening the door for Shake Milton to finish with 15 points and six assists in 31 minutes of work. With James Harden (foot) also out, Milton, Danuel House Jr., and De'Anthony Melton should hold things down in the backcourt for the foreseeable future while drawing interest from managers in nearly all fantasy setups. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) is not expected to play Saturday against Minnesota. He already sat out Friday's win over Milwaukee and is officially questionable for Saturday's action with a sore left hip, but his participation seems unlikely. The Sixers have already been without James Harden (foot), just lost Tyrese Maxey (foot), and now have to play without Harris, which puts a lot of pressure on Joel Embiid to navigate the team through rough waters. He's been on a huge tear lately and seems set for another monster night against the T-Wolves. Georges Niang and Shake Milton also contributed a lot off the bench Friday and should do so again. |
Sunday, November 13
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His absence will move Matisse Thybulle into the starting five for Saturday's game. Thybulle is a good defender, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of scoring. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid are the focal points on offense for this team right now. Thybulle should get increased playing time with Melton sidelined, but he's really more of a deep league asset. |
|  | Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Korkmaz was forced to exit early on Saturday due to a left knee issue. The team will take the cautious approach here and rest Korkmaz. Luckily, De'Anthony Melton is off the injury report, so he'll return on Sunday. The expectation is that Melton, Matisse Thybulle and Shake Milton should all see increased role with Korkmaz sidelined. However, none of them are likely to make a significant enough impact to warrant streaming. |
Thursday, November 10
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's trip to Atlanta. The veteran is dealing with left hip contusion and could end up missing his first game of the season. Georges Niang put in an impressive 21-point performance against Phoenix on Monday and could end up getting most of the minutes left over by Tucker if his hip ailment is bad enough that he can't play. Tucker's injury could also help Montrezl Harrell back into the rotation, and the rest of the Sixers starters should stay ready for some heavy minutes. |
Thursday, November 03
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (leg) suffered a minor injury during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran sharpshooter tweaked his left leg, but it's believed to be a minor contusion. He finished with 24 points, 10 assists, five rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss. It's uncertain whether or not Harden will be available for Friday's contest. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for an update on his status. |
|  | Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) picked up an injury during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The young guard was expected to have an increased workload with the team shorthanded. However, Thybulle only lasted 16 minutes due to a sprained ankle. Thybulle has strong upside on defense, but has been buried on the depth chart this season. He looks more like a deep league option right now. Hopefully this ankle injury won't cost him significant time. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) was a late scratch for Wednesday's clash with Washington and his status for Friday's game versus the Knicks is currently unknown. Melton was ruled out of the game with lower back stiffness. Matisse Thybulle ended up starting in his place but sprained his ankle and wasn't able to finish the game, so this was a bad night for Philadelphia on the injury front. Melton had just found some rhythm and started to produce solid numbers at both ends of the floor. Shake Milton logged a season-high 15 minutes Wednesday and should pick up the slack once again if Melton and Thybulle are unavailable Friday. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out of action for a month. The Beard has been diagnosed with a right foot tendon strain. The news comes after Joel Embiid (illness) sat out for the third time in four games Wednesday against Washington. It's currently unclear if Embiid is able to return Friday against the Knicks. Either way, Tyrese Maxey is set for a huge role going forward, and Harden's absence will also boost De'Anthony Melton's fantasy stock, although he missed Wednesday's game with a back problem and might need some time to recover. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been upgraded to questionable for the team's game against the New York Knicks. He's been suffering from a non-COVID illness that has kept him out of the last two games. After the news about James Harden (foot) missing a month of action, Embiid's health becomes that much more important. If he still can't give it a go, a combination of Montrezl Harrell, Paul Reed, and Georges Niang should receive more opportunities. The inconsistency of their playing time makes them not-so-great options as streamers. |
Wednesday, November 02
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. The 28-year-old will now miss his second straight game while hampered by a non-COVID-related illness. De'Anthony Melton is also out, so head coach Doc Rivers will likely continue to run his starting unit into the ground. As a result, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden are expected to lead the way offensively once again. Guys like Georges Niang, Danuel House Jr., and Montrezl Harrell could also get some action. However, all three are risky fantasy options. |
Tuesday, November 01
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Embiid has already missed one game with the non-COVID illness, but may have a chance to suit up in their rematch against the Wizards. While Embiid sat, the Sixers have gone small with P.J. Tucker as small-ball center and De'Anthony Melton starting. If Embiid is out again, this trend would likely continue with James Harden and Tyrese Maxey having huge usage rates yet again. |
Monday, October 31
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) did not attend shootaround on Monday. That being said, the superstar big man should be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It sounds like Embiid is dealing with an illness, so the team is likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Tyrese Maxey went off for 44 points last time Embiid sat out a contest. P.J Tucker is expected to have an increased role if Embiid is unable to play. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time. |
| | Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed shootaround and clearly he isn't feeling well enough to suit up for this game. Last time Embiid missed a game De'Anthony Melton got the spot start. Although, Tyrese Maxey went off for 44 points during that game. It's uncertain if Melton will start or if the Sixers will go big with Montrezl Harrell. Fantasy managers will have to check back and see who head coach Doc Rivers decides to start. |
Tuesday, October 25
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Melton is coming off his best game of the season but appears to be dealing with some soreness in the groin area. Melton does not have a huge role with the Sixers right now, averaging only 18 minutes per game off the bench this season. However, if he were to be ruled out, Melton's absence would lead to some extra minutes for Shake Milton, Furkan Korkmaz and Danuel House Jr. |
Saturday, October 15
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Paul Reed had his contract fully guaranteed by the team on Friday. Reed was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft. Since then, the 23-year-old has averaged only 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 64 games with Philly. While Reed won't draw much redraft consideration, he may make a few appearances in the starting lineup in 2022-23, potentially giving him some streaming value in deeper formats. Of course, dynasty managers should continue to stash him due to his untapped potential. |
Monday, October 10
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
|  | Philadelphia 76ers center Montrezl Harrell (ribs) was unable to suit up for Sunday's practice. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor ribs issue, but it shouldn't be something that sidelines him for very long. Harrell is currently the third string center behind Joel Embiid and Paul Reed. He signed a two-year deal with the Sixers over the offseason. The expectation is that he'll have a decent role in the rotation, but we'll see. Charles Bassey should see more action, assuming Harrell doesn't suit up for Monday's preseason contest. |
Wednesday, September 14
| TEAM | PLAYER | TRANSACTION |
|---|---|---|
| | Free-agent forward/center Montrezl Harrell is officially a Sixer, according to a press release from the team. The deal is worth over $5 million, and the second year of the contract is a player option. The 28-year-old has an impressive resume, posting career averages of 12.9 points and 5.3 rebounds while earning the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2020. With Harrell's legal issues behind him, he'll look for a fresh start in Philly and presumably support Joel Embiid from off the bench. He may even start here and there throughout the season. Either way, Harrell should see plenty of attention from deep league fantasy managers heading into the year. |
