Paul George Paul George (knee) questionable Monday vs. IND
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Like Joel Embiid, George is on the injury report for Monday's game for left knee injury management. With the 76ers hosting Phoenix on Tuesday, it would be unsurprising if George did not play against the team that drafted him in 2010. Kelly Oubre could move into the starting lineup if George sits. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Monday vs. IND

NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Embiid is back on the injury report due to left knee injury management, but he has played in nine of the 76ers' last ten games. However, with Philadelphia hosting Phoenix on Tuesday, the 76ers may view Monday as an opportunity to get the 7-footer a night off. If he sits, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would handle the center responsibilities. |

Joel Embiid Embiid drops 33 points in loss to Cleveland
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:04 PM
Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 33 points (10-of-22 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two triples in a 117-115 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: This was Embiid's fifth 30-point game of the season, but it wasn't enough for the 76ers to get the win. His lack of contributions in categories other than scoring have limited his impact in category leagues; his 6.9 rebounds per game are the fewest of his career. Still, he's played 22 games now this season, which surpassed his total of 19 games last year. As long as he's out on the floor for Philadelphia, he'll continue to pour in the points. |

Tyrese Maxey Maxey tallies 22/5/9/5/2 line vs. Cleveland
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 3:59 PM
Tyrese Maxey posted a full line on Friday with 22 points (9-of-24 FGs), five rebounds, nine assists, five steals, two blocks and two three-pointers against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Maxey didn't do as much as a scorer, but he was able to contribute value across the board. He matched his career high for steals, which he has set two other times this season already. This game came after he was held to 14 points against the Cavs on Wednesday, so while it was a rough two-game series as a scorer, he was able to contribute in a bunch of other categories in this game. He'll look to get back on track against the Pacers on Monday. |

Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 12:33 PM
Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (back) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: Barlow took a hard fall on Wednesday, which forced him to exit early from that game. However, he'll be able to suit up in this one, so he should continue to occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup. |

Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: George is on the injury report for left knee injury management reasons, and the probable tag suggests that he'll be available on Friday. He played 30 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers and should take on a similar workload in the rematch. |

Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report

Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (back) questionable Friday vs. CLE
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Barlow fell hard on his back during the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers and did not return. If he's unable to play on Friday, the 76ers could look to Jabari Walker to fill the void since Cleveland starts Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. That said, Walker is not a must-stream player in that role, especially since the 76ers could also choose to start Adem Bona alongside Joel Embiid. |

Paul George Paul George records 17/4/4/1 line vs. Cleveland
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 3:36 PM
Paul George accounted for 17 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: While he hasn't been the elite fantasy option he's been in seasons past, George has continued to provide reliable category-league value. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats, aligning with his season-long production. That has exceeded George's ADP (83). Again, he may not be the elite version that he's been in the past, but George has been solid. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey limited to 14 points vs. Cleveland
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 3:35 PM
Tyrese Maxey tallied 14 points (5-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Give the Cavaliers credit for their work on the defensive end of the floor, especially in terms of defending Maxey. He never seemed comfortable offensively, resulting in one of his poorer performances of the season. Nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for Maxey, who should be an All-Star this season. So, fantasy managers should bank on his putting forth a better performance in Friday's rematch. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid scores 20 points vs. Cleveland
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 3:34 PM
Joel Embiid recorded 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Embiid shot the ball well and recorded a complete stat line, but the numbers were modest outside of the points and percentages. Also, the 76ers' center was responsible for six of the team's 12 turnovers. This wasn't the best night for Embiid, but more importantly for fantasy managers, his availability has not been an issue recently. He'll look to redeem himself on Friday when the two teams meet again. |

Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (back) will not return Wednesday
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 2:56 PM
Ky Carlin
Dominick Barlow (back) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Barlow took a hard fall early in the third quarter of Wednesday's game. After some time in the locker room, he has been ruled out for the rest of the night. Adem Bona and Jabari Walker should see their playing time increase as a result of Barlow's injury. |

Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 11:10 AM
Paul George (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: George sat out Sunday's game against the Raptors for left knee injury management reasons. The 35-year-old small forward returned and had 15 points Monday. George will likely be available Wednesday as well given his probable listing. He's provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. |

Joel Embiid (knee/adductor) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Paul George Paul George (knee) scores 15 points in return
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 4:03 PM
Paul George (knee) tallied 15 points (5-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: After being a late scratch for Sunday's loss to the Raptors, George played 29 minutes on Monday. The nature of the game may have also been a factor in the veteran wing's playing time, as the 76ers led by a comfortable margin for most of the night. Over the past two weeks, George has shot 41.5 percent from the field, which has been the most significant issue for his fantasy value. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid records 27/8/4/2 line vs. Toronto
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 4:02 PM
Joel Embiid accounted for 27 points (9-of-17 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Embiid was back in the lineup after missing Sunday's loss to the Raptors, and, for the most part, the overall production was excellent. However, he was responsible for seven turnovers, the most in a game for the 7-footer this season. High-turnover nights have not been the norm for Embiid this season, as he has two games with more than five, so there isn't much need for concern. |
