Dominick Barlow
Dominick Barlow (elbow) to remain out Tuesday
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (elbow) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Barlow's right elbow laceration may not be considered “super serious” in the words of 76ers head coach Nick Nurse. Still, he hasn't appeared in a game since Philadelphia's October 25 win over the Hornets. His absence has freed up opportunities for Jabari Walker, who has started three of the 76ers' last four games.
Paul George
Paul George (knee) still out vs. Chicago
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: George's season debut will be delayed at least one more game. Kelly Oubre will continue to occupy a spot in the starting lineup after scoring 29 points in Philadelphia's last game.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (knee) removed from injury report
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:35 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Embiid is back after sitting out Sunday's win over the Nets. He'll likely remain on a minutes limit (20-25 minutes thus far), and the 76ers also play Wednesday night in Cleveland. Adem Bona will head to the bench in Chicago, but it's likely that he'll be back in the starting lineup the following night.
Quentin Grimes
Quentin Grimes tallies 22 points, 13 assists
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:52 PM
Quentin Grimes accounted for 22 points (7-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Grimes had one of his best all-around games as a pro on Sunday, dishing out a career-high 13 assists while scoring efficiently. Despite coming off the bench, he's providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, far exceeding the expectations of most fantasy managers. Grimes has benefited from the absences of Jared McCain and Paul George, so it's fair to question his fantasy value once the 76ers are whole. However, they aren't right now, so Grimes should be rostered in some 12-team leagues.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey scores 26 points vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:48 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Sunday's win over the Nets with 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Maxey has scored at least 26 points in all six games he's played this season, averaging 33.7 per game. While some believed the 76ers' point guard was capable of providing first-round value in standard leagues, Maxey's been even better than that. He goes into Week 3 providing top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Joel Embiid's playing time being managed and Paul George (knee) still out, the 76ers need Maxey to produce at an elite level. He's been up to the task.
Kelly Oubre
Kelly Oubre scores 22 first-quarter points
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:39 PM
Adam Aaronson
Kelly Oubre Jr. amassed 29 points (12-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: 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.
Adem Bona
PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Oubre, Walker, Bona
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 11:45 AM
Philadelphia 76ers
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jabari Walker and Adem Bona will start Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: The 76ers are without Joel Embiid for Sunday's game, as the team is looking to get their star center additional time off whenever possible. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Bona, whose production has been limited this season. However, this is a big opportunity for the second-year center, especially if he can avoid foul trouble.
Dominick Barlow
Dominick Barlow (elbow) to remain out Sunday
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:50 AM
Noah Levick
Dominick Barlow (elbow) will sit out Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: While Barlow's right elbow laceration is not considered “super serious,” according to 76ers coach Nick Nurse, the healing process has taken longer than expected. The 76ers will likely provide an update on Barlow's status early next week.
Paul George
Paul George (knee) to remain sidelined Sunday
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 11:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: George has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from an offseason procedure on his knee. Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards have received opportunities to start in George's absence, but neither has done enough to be relied on in most fantasy leagues.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (knee) out Sunday vs. Brooklyn
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 11:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Embiid remains restricted to 20-25 minutes per game, and the 76ers also give him the occasional night off to help manage the 7-footer's workload. He'll sit out Sunday's game against the Nets, opening up a space in the starting lineup for Andre Drummond or Adem Bona. While Bona has a slightly higher ceiling, he struggles to avoid foul trouble.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey has 26/8/14 line in loss to Celtics
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:25 PM
Tyrese Maxey had 26 points (8-of-16 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, two blocks and four three-pointers against the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: Maxey had scored at least 39 points in three of the first four games of the season, but attacked the Celtics in a different way on Friday. The 24-year-old point guard took fewer shots than usual, but had 14 assists. He's had at least nine assists in three of the last four games. Maxey looks like he's the 76ers' primary offensive force on any given night.
Joel Embiid
Embiid has 20 points in 25 minutes vs. Celtics
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:16 PM
Joel Embiid had 20 points (6-of-14 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one three-pointer against the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: Embiid scored at least 20 points for the third consecutive game. The 31-year-old center is only playing about 20-25 minutes per game in an effort to keep him fresh later in the season. Embiid can't give fantasy managers those ceiling games they're used to without playing more minutes, but he's certainly been effective when he's been on the floor so far this year.
Jabari Walker
PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Oubre, Walker, Embiid
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 12:35 PM
Philadelphia 76ers
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jabari Walker and Joel Embiid will start Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: There's just one change to the 76ers' starting lineup: Walker replaces Justin Edwards. While the change gives Walker a shot at providing value, he is not a must-stream player.
Paul George
Paul George (knee) ruled out Friday vs. Boston
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 11:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: George has been doing more in practice recently but still has not reached the point where he can play in games. The 76ers will continue to call on players such as Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards to fill the void while they await PG's return. Neither Walker nor Edwards merits serious streaming consideration.
Quentin Grimes
Quentin Grimes hits three triples, scores 22
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 4:15 PM
Quentin Grimes tallied 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: While he hasn't been as prolific a scorer as he was late last season, Grimes has reached double figures in all four games for the 76ers. On Tuesday, he knocked down three more three-pointers as part of a complete stat line that included five “stocks.” He's rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and would make for a solid “add” to end Week 2 as Philadelphia plays on Friday and Sunday.
Kelly Oubre
Kelly Oubre Jr. posts 17/11/1/1/1 line vs. WAS
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 4:12 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. accumulated 17 points (5-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: 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.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid notches career milestone vs. Wizards
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 4:08 PM
Joel Embiid finished Tuesday's win over the Wizards with 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday's win over the Magic, Embiid was supposed to be on a limit of 20 minutes. He played 23 against the Wizards, and the production was solid in a case of good news for fantasy managers. Embiid grabbed his 5,000th career rebound during the overtime victory and was a steal shy of a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. While playing time may concern Embiid managers, Philadelphia's goal is to do what it can to ensure he's healthy for the stretch run.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey records 39 points, 10 assists
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 3:58 PM
Tyrese Maxey accounted for 39 points (11-of-25 FGs, 14-of-16 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Maxey has now scored at least 39 points in three of his first four games, and the 76ers are off to a 4-0 start. Asked to take on a larger leadership role, he has answered the call. Maxey attempted a season-high 16 free throws while shooting 44 percent from the field, and this was his first double-double of the season. The fantasy managers willing to use a late-first to draft Maxey have to feel good about that decision, based on how he's played thus far.
Trendon Watford
Trendon Watford (hamstring) available Tuesday
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 11:41 AM
Noah Levick
Trendon Watford (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Watford will make his 76ers' debut on Tuesday, giving Philadelphia another frontcourt option off the bench. Head coach Nick Nurse said he'll use the forward in short stints, which limits Watford's fantasy potential. He'll be helpful due to the facilitation abilities, especially with Paul George and Dominick Barlow out due to injury.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (knee) off the injury report Tuesday
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 8:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Wizards.
Analysis: Embiid will be back for the second leg of a back-to-back set after sitting out on Monday. He hasn't played many minutes to open the season, so his court time and production on Tuesday are far from certainties.
