Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 1:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Embiid is off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Pistons, Philadelphia's second game in as many days. His return will push Andre Drummond to the bench. |

Cameron Payne Cam Payne (hamstring) to be evaluated in two weeks
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 1:35 PM
Adam Aaronson
Cam Payne (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Payne strained his right hamstring during the first half of Saturday's loss to the Pistons. While his availability does not affect fantasy basketball, it does cut into Philadelphia's depth at point guard. VJ Edgecombe may have to do a bit more, especially when Tyrese Maxey is not in the game. The two-week time means that Payne would not be available for the Play-In tournament if Philadelphia can't earn a top-six seed. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. starts, struggles vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:41 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. tallied three points (1-of-4 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Oubre moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, his first start since returning from an elbow injury. And he struggled, shooting 25 percent from the field and not offering much value outside of the rebounds. Dominick Barlow, who moved to the bench, finished with eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in 29 minutes. Philadelphia begins a four-game Week 24 in San Antonio on Monday. |

Paul George Paul George posts 20/5/4/2 line vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:40 PM
Paul George finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: George played both games of the 76ers' first back-to-back since his return from suspension, logging 28 minutes in Saturday's defeat. His production was solid, with the veteran forward shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Philadelphia's Week 24 schedule includes another back-to-back, with George's availability likely depending on potential playoff seeding implications. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 23 points vs. DET
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:39 PM
Tyrese Maxey recorded 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Maxey led all scorers with 23 points, but this was not one of his better games. The 76ers guard, who Ausar Thompson hounded for most of the night, recorded just one assist in 33 minutes. Given how many fantasy managers have benefitted from Maxey's production throughout the season, this was a disappointing end to Week 23 for those competing for league championships. For managers whose seasons will be active in Week 24, Philadelphia plays four games. |

Ky Carlin
Cam Payne (hamstring) will not return to Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Payne played nine minutes before heading back to the locker room during the second quarter. The veteran backup has since been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain. His absence for the remainder of Saturday's game may push Kyle Lowry into the rotation, but it does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Kelly Oubre PHI starts Maxey, VJ, Oubre, George, Drummond
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 12:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George and Andre Drummond will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: The 76ers have made two changes to their starting lineup, one caused by Joel Embiid (oblique) being out. He's been replaced by Drummond instead of Adem Bona, while Oubre has replaced Dominick Barlow in the starting five. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) upgraded to available vs. DET
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 12:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: George was initially probable, so the status upgrade was expected. With Joel Embiid sitting, the Pistons should run more of their offense through George and Tyrese Maxey. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) probable vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 7:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: George is probable for injury management reasons, so he should be good to go for Saturday's matchup. It is part of Philadelphia's first back-to-back since George returned from his 25-game suspension, so the playing time could take a slight hit. However, as long as he's on the floor, fantasy managers will receive good value from the veteran forward. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) out vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 7:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Saturday is Philadelphia's second game in as many nights, so it's unsurprising that Embiid won't play. Adem Bona has been the replacement in the starting lineup on most nights, but he was passed in the rotation by Andre Drummond during Friday's win over the Timberwolves. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre hits four triples, scores 21 points
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:36 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. produced 21 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: On a night when Joel Embiid and Paul George weren't as accurate as they could be, Oubre stepped up with a good performance off the bench. Friday was his first game with at least 20 points since returning from the elbow injury that sidelined him for eight games last month. Depending on Joel Embiid's availability for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Oubre may take on a more prominent role offensively, even though he's likely to come off the bench. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid records 19/13/7 line, two blocks
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:35 PM
Joel Embiid accounted for 19 points (6-of-17 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 13 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Back in the 76ers' lineup after missing Wednesday's win over the Wizards, Embiid logged 34 minutes against the Timberwolves. While he did not shoot the ball well, the 7-footer had one of his best efforts of the season defensively. In addition to the three blocks, Embiid was engaged defensively throughout Friday's victory. Fantasy implications aside, the 76ers will need their center to put forth that effort consistently during the postseason. Philadelphia hosts Detroit on Saturday; fantasy managers should consider Embiid questionable for injury management reasons. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey posts 21 points, eight assists
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:35 PM
Tyrese Maxey notched 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Maxey has dished out eight assists or more in each of his last four appearances. Add in the points, rebounds and blocks, and Friday was a good night for the 76ers' star point guard. Maxey shot the ball well, making over 50 percent of his field-goal attempts. Philadelphia plays once more in Week 23, as they host the Pistons on Saturday. That stands to be a stiffer test for Maxey and the 76ers than Friday's win over the Timberwolves. |

Paul George Paul George leads 76ers with 23 points vs. MIN
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:34 PM
Paul George amassed 23 points (6-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: George did not have the most efficient night, shooting 40 percent from the field and committing six turnovers. However, he did finish with a complete stat line and has scored at least 23 points in four of five games since returning from suspension. The 76ers play once more in Week 23, as they host the Pistons on Saturday. If Joel Embiid sits, the 76ers will need more scoring from George. |

Joel Embiid PHI starts Maxey, VJ, George, Barlow, Embiid
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 12:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Embiid, who has missed Philadelphia's most recent game with an illness, is good to go. His return means that Adem Bona will head to the bench, eliminating the second-year center's streaming value. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (illness) upgraded to probable Friday
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 8:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Embiid managers, rejoice! The star big man is set to be available on Friday, and he can be a big help for the final push of Fantasy Championship Week. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will have limited fantasy ceilings as a result of Embiid's availability. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (illness) doubtful vs. Minnesota
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Embiid was held out of Wednesday's win over the Wizards, with Adem Bona replacing him in the starting lineup. Bona played 21 minutes, finishing with 13 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot, shooting 5-of-5 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line. He'll likely get another start on Friday, with Andre Drummond serving as the backup. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey posts 28 points, nine assists vs. WAS
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:20 PM
Tyrese Maxey amassed 28 points (12-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Maxey had an efficient night at the office on Wednesday, shooting 60 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers. While he did take a fall during the second half where it appeared that his right hand got caught underneath his body, Maxey was fine. The 76ers had to put their starters back into the game after the Wizards trimmed the margin to 12, resulting in Maxey logging 34 minutes on a night when the team may have preferred to get him a little more rest. |

Paul George Paul George torches Wizards for 39 points
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:20 PM
Paul George finished Wednesday's win over the Wizards with 39 points (15-of-22 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, three steals and six three-pointers.
Analysis: While Joel Embiid (illness) being out did free up additional scoring opportunities for George and the other 76ers starters, he has played consistently well since returning from his 25-game suspension. The veteran wing has scored 26 points or more in three of the four games he's played, with Wednesday's tally representing a new season-high. The 76ers play two more games in Week 23, which is good news for those rostering George. |

Adem Bona PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, George, Barlow, Bona
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 12:35 PM
Philadelphia 76ers
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: The 76ers won't have Joel Embiid for Wednesday's game, as he is out due to illness. As has been the case in the past, Bona will start, with Andre Drummond moving into the backup center role. |
