Paul George Paul George has 18/9/3 line as 76ers win Friday
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 3:51 PM
Paul George had 18 points (8-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: It was a bit of a mixed bag from George against the Magic. He wasn't particularly efficient with 18 points on 21 shots and missed all seven of his three-point attempts. George was a force on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He's averaging 15.8 points per game as his shooting woes continue, but he's provided fifth-round per game value on the season. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid has 22/9/3 line in win over Magic
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 3:44 PM
Joel Embiid had 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Embiid has progressed to the point where he's played for three weeks in a row now without missing time due to injury. The 31-year-old center has mostly played over 30 minutes in those games, as well. That translated into good production Friday as Embiid had at least 22 points and at least nine rebounds for the third time in his last four games. He's provided fifth-round value over the last two weeks in per game value. Embiid is in line for his fourth game this week against the Raptors Sunday. |

Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 3:34 PM
Tyrese Maxey had 29 points (10-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, one assist, three steals and three three-pointers in the 76ers' 103-91 victory over the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Maxey has scored at least 27 points in seven of his last eight games. The 25-year-old point guard had a highlight layup late in the third quarter where he displayed perfect footwork as he broke down the defender for the easy bucket. It was truly a Maxey masterclass. He's fourth overall in all of fantasy basketball in per game value this season. The 76ers close out the week Sunday against the Raptors. |

Paul George Paul George posts 23/4/5/ line with four triples
Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 4:07 PM
Paul George lit up the Wizards with 23 points (7-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers on Wednesday.
Analysis: It had been a subpar stretch for George, but this game could help him get back on track. This matched his second-highest scoring total of the season, and it was his first time scoring at least 20 points since mid-December. George isn't the player he once was, but he's still more than capable of making an impact for fantasy managers. |

Joel Embiid Embiid scores game-high 28 points vs. Wizards
Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 4:04 PM
Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 28 points (10-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 131-110 win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
Analysis: Embiid has been on a scoring tear recently, and this game kept that going. He only played 25 minutes, though he didn't end up needing to play the fourth quarter for the 76ers to get the win. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has scored at least 25 in seven of those. Embiid still isn't producing consistently in other categories, but he's clearly still one of the best scoring options in the NBA. |

Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 12:18 PM

Analysis: Wednesday's game will be Watford's first since November 25. Like Kelly Oubre, he will have his playing time restricted, and Watford is not expected to play much. While there may be rotation minutes available to Watford, fantasy managers can afford to hold off on adding him until it's known how the playing time will be distributed. |

Ky Carlin
Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Oubre is officially available to play in a game for the first time since November 14. However, he will be under a minutes restriction, and 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said during his availability that Oubre won't play much. Don't slot him into fantasy lineups until it's known what the 76ers' rotation will look like with everyone healthy. |

Analysis: Embiid is poised to play his fifth straight game, which is a welcomed surprise for fantasy managers after the big man logged 40 minutes in Monday's loss to Denver.

Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kelly Oubre (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: 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. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knees) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 11:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knees) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Embiid has been available for Philadelphia's last four games, most recently logging 40 minutes in Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets. While Wednesday's game is not part of a back-to-back, the 76ers may view it as an opportunity to get their 7-footer a little time off. If Embiid sits, more playing time will be available to Adem Bona, and Andre Drummond may re-enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD on Monday. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid drops 32 points in overtime loss
Mon, Jan 5, 2026, 6:02 PM
Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 32 points (13-of-22 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block, one three-pointer and six turnovers in a 125-124 loss to the Nuggets on Monday.
Analysis: Though availability has been an issue, Embiid has been productive when available this season. Recently, he's been available, and the minutes have increased as well. He has played in four straight games, his longest stretch of the season. He's also played at least 33 minutes in each, which is more than he has played in any other game this year. He played a season-high 40 minutes in this game, which led to his third double-double in four games. Don't expect to see him play back-to-backs, but Embiid is in the midst of a strong stretch right now. |

Mon, Jan 5, 2026, 5:56 PM
Tyrese Maxey lit up the Nuggets with 28 points (10-of-22 FGs), six rebounds, six assists, four steals, two blocks and four three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: Maxey remained on a tear in this game, though it wasn't enough for the 76ers to continue their win streak. This was the sixth straight game that Maxey scored a least 25 points, and there have been plenty of stats in other categories along the way. Maxey has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, and that hasn't slowed down with despite the 76ers getting healthy. This is Maxey's team, and he'll continue to shine. |

Analysis: Embiid was initially listed as probable, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. This will be the fourth straight game that he has suited up for, which is his longest availability stretch of the season. He should feast on the Nuggets, who are without Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas. |

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. |
