Adem Bona PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, Wade, Bona
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 11:36 AM
Philadelphia 76ers
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, Dean Wade and Adem Bona will start Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown is back after sitting out Friday's win over the Knicks, but the 76ers are giving LeBron James and Joel Embiid the night off. As a result, Wade remains a starter, and Bona starts at center. |
Jabari Walker Jabari Walker, Tacko Fall available Saturday

Christopher Hine
Jabari Walker (knee) and Tacko Fall (quad) are available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: While Walker has missed Philadelphia's last three games, Fall was injured during the preseason and has not seen any action. With LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, the 76ers may have opportunities for Walker or Fall to provide frontcourt depth. |
Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (knee) upgraded to available Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 11:16 AM
Christopher Hine
Jaylen Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown is good to go after sitting out Friday's win over the Knicks. With LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, Dean Wade will likely start again after filling in for Brown on Friday. |

Jabari Walker Jabari Walker (knee) questionable Saturday vs. CHA
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:18 AM
Jabari Walker (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Walker has missed the last three games with a knee injury. If he's out again, Adem Bona should start and see plenty of minutes with Joel Embiid (foot) also out. |
|
Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (knee) questionable Saturday vs. CHA
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:16 AM
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown missed Friday's win over the Knicks, which was his first absence of the year. He's questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets with a knee injury. If he's out again, Dean Wade could move into the starting lineup just as he did Friday. |
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (foot) out Saturday vs. Hornets
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:10 AM
Joel Embiid (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Embiid had a 10/7/7 line in Friday's win over the Knicks, but he'll sit out Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back. With Embiid out, Adem Bona and Jabari Walker are candidates to move into the startling lineup. |
LeBron James LeBron James (sciatica) out Saturday vs. Hornets
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:06 AM
LeBron James (sciatica) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: James posted as 20/9/8 line in Friday's win over the Knicks, but he'll sit out Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back. At age-41, LeBron isn't going to play every night, but fantasy managers knew that going into the season. |

LeBron James LeBron James records 20/9/8/1/1 line vs. New York
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:57 PM
LeBron James put up 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: James made one of the game's biggest plays, tipping in a Tyrese Maxey miss with 11.9 seconds remaining to extend the 76ers' lead to five. That would be the final margin as Philadelphia moved to 5-1, and LeBron finished one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. At this stage in his career, the days of LeBron consistently providing robust stat lines are likely over. But he remains a valuable fantasy basketball player. |
Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons sinks five triples, scores 21
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:54 PM
Anfernee Simons tallied 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Friday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: That's two straight games of 20 points or more for Simons, who shot 5-of-8 from beyond the arc on Friday. While he remains a player who should be rostered in deep leagues at best, Simons' performance against the Knicks was encouraging. Depending on who's available, he may be worth a look for Saturday's game against the Hornets. |
Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey leads 76ers with 27 points vs. NYK
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:43 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Friday's win over the Knicks with 27 points (10-of-19 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: In two wins over the Knicks this season, Maxey has scored 55 points, shooting 19-of-38 from the field. On Friday, the 76ers' star guard scored 18 of his 27 points in the first half, making 8-of-12 from the field. Maxey has scored at least 26 points in each of Philadelphia's first six games, delivering the consistent scoring fantasy managers hoped for from a player who had a first-round ADP. |

Tyrese Maxey Sixers to start Maxey, VJ, LeBron, Wade, Embiid
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 1:05 PM
The Sixers will start Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, LeBron James, Dean Wade, and Joel Embiid against the Knicks
Analysis: Jaylen Brown (knee) is out tonight, so Dean Wade will take his spot in the starting lineup. Even if heavy minutes, Dean Wade is not a fantasy add unless it's in deeper leagues. With one less high usage guy in the starting lineup, LeBron and VJ might get a bump in production tonight. |
Dean Wade Nurse: Dean Wade likely to start vs. New York
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:05 PM
Adam Aaronson
76ers head coach Nick Nurse said that Dean Wade will likely start Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: The 76ers won't have Jaylen Brown for Friday's game, as he's been ruled out with a knee injury. Wade, who was assigned to defend Jaylen Brunson at times while with the Cavaliers, is likely the replacement in the starting lineup. That raises his ceiling slightly as a streamer, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should also see more playing time. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (knee) downgraded to out Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaylen Brown (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the first that Brown has missed this season. His absence likely means more minutes for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade, with one moving into the starting lineup. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (knee) downgraded to doubtful Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 10:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaylen Brown (knee) is now doubtful for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Brown was initially questionable for Friday's game, so the afternoon update isn't a good sign regarding his availability. If Brown can't play, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade are likely to play more, with one moving into the starting lineup. |
|
Jabari Walker Jabari Walker (knee) out again vs. New York
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 11:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jabari Walker (knee) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis: This will be a third straight absence for Walker, which will leave the 76ers thinner than usual down low. Adem Bona should take on a few extra minutes as the backup to Joel Embiid. |
|
Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (knee) questionable vs. New York
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 11:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis: Brown is managing some soreness in his left knee, which could keep him on the sidelines against New York. If that happens, one of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Dean Wade would likely slide into the starting unit, with both taking on extra minutes. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons with 20 points off the bench
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:15 PM
Anfernee Simons scored 20 points (7-of-11 FGs), got three rebounds, an assist, a steal, and six 3-pointers in win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Simons will have games where he hits 3's and provides the 76ers bench with some much-needed scoring. Simons has been in a slump but it's good to see him have a bounce back game. He's currently shooting 35.7% from the field and a regression to the mean would indicate that he's going to have a few more performances to balance out the bad shooting from this past week. In deeper leagues, he's a nice streamer for points and 3-pointers. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid finishes with 21 and 11 in 38 minutes
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:10 PM
Joel Embiid put up 21 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block in 38 minutes against the Pacers.
Analysis: Since Joel Embiid has slimmed down, he's been moving better than he has the past few years on defense. He's been guarding a bit on the perimeter when he was purely a drop big the past few years due to injuries. Obviously, we are worried that Embiid gets hurt given the injury history, but the fact he looks healthier is a great sign. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores 27 points in win over Pacers
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:08 PM
Tyrese Maxey scores 27 points (8-of-18 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, a steal, and three 3-pointers on Wednesday in win over the Pacers.
Analysis: It was a bad night for Maxey's standards up until he took over in the fourth quarter and carried the 76ers to a win with 17 fourth quarter points. He wasn't taking many shots during most of the game until he started to get going, which is great if you own him as a fantasy manager. He's established himself as the best player on the team and any worries about Maxey's production going down should subside. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown gets 20/10 double-double in win
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:02 PM
Jaylen Brown got 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), ten rebounds, two assists, a steal, a block, and a three in 114-109 win against the Pacers.
Analysis: Jaylen Brown has taken a step back from where he was in Boston, but that was to be expected going from being the primary option in Boston to sometimes being the fourth option in Philadelphia. Nick Nurse has done a good job with rotations to allow the stars to get their touches despite sharing the court together. We won't be expecting double doubles moving forward, but he won't have a shocking drop off like what Paul George had when he played for Philadelphia. |
