Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre drops 19 points, 10 rebounds vs. NOR
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:02 PM
Kelly Oubre amassed 19 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: No Paul George (suspension) frees up scoring opportunities for 76ers not named Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey, with Oubre being at the top of that list. The Tsunami Papi had a good night against the Pelicans, recording his third double-double and first since returning from the knee injury that sidelined him for nearly two months. Oubre is still available in over 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He's worth picking up ahead of Philadelphia's four-game Week 16. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey records 18 points, eight assists
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:02 PM
Tyrese Maxey accounted for 18 points (7-of-18 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: While he's had better nights shooting the basketball, Maxey was a positive asset for managers seeking assists and a low turnover count. He's dished out at least eight assists in three consecutive games, and Saturday's eight helpers came with just one turnover. With Paul George suspended for 25 games, Maxey's ability to set up others becomes even more critical. While high-scoring nights have been the norm for the All-Star guard, don't be surprised if the assists increase in the coming weeks. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid posts 40/11/4/1/2 line vs. New Orleans
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:01 PM
Joel Embiid finished Saturday's win over the Pelicans with 40 points (13-of-27 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers.
Analysis: On a night when the 76ers were honoring the 2001 Eastern Conference champions, Embiid turned back the clock with one of his best performances of the season. The 7-footer finished with his first 40-point game and seventh double-double of the season. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, Embiid's health and productivity take on added importance for the 76ers and for fantasy managers. Philadelphia now heads west for a five-game trip that begins on Monday against the Clippers, with four being played during Week 16. |

Dominick Barlow PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Oubre, Barlow, Embiid
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: The 76ers won't have Paul George for Saturday's game, as he begins serving a 25-game suspension for violating the league's anti-drug policy. As expected, Barlow returns to the starting lineup, making him a player worth considering in deep leagues. George's absence also raises Edgecombe and Oubre's fantasy ceilings. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond (illness) available vs. NOR
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 1:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Andre Drummond (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Drummond is good to go after being added to the 76ers' injury report early Saturday afternoon. With Joel Embiid and Adem Bona available, the veteran backup is not guaranteed to be in the rotation, much less play the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (ankle) upgraded to available
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 12:34 PM
Adam Aaronson
Quentin Grimes (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Grimes is back after a two-game absence, and the timing couldn't be better for the 76ers. With Paul George beginning a 25-game suspension for violating the league's anti-drug policy, there will be more minutes available to Grimes, even if he continues to come off the bench. |
|
Andre Drummond Andre Drummond (illness) questionable vs. NOR
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 6:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andre Drummond (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Drummond is a new addition to the 76ers' injury report, which may not bode well for his availability. However, with Joel Embiid and Adem Bona available, Philadelphia will have enough depth at the center position. |

Paul George George suspended 25 games for anti-drug violation
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 5:58 AM
NBA Communications
The NBA has suspended Paul George for 25 games for violating the terms of the league's anti-drug program.
Analysis: Just when the 76ers were playing well and strengthening their on-court chemistry, the league announced that George will be suspended for 25 games. His absence likely means that Dominick Barlow, who remains on a two-way contract, will return to the starting lineup. Not having George also means the 76ers will need more production from starters VJ Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre, which could raise the fantasy ceilings of both players. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (ankle) probable vs. New Orleans
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 11:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (ankle) is probable to play against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Analysis: Grimes has missed the last two games for the 76ers, but he is expected to return this weekend. Justin Edwards has taken on extra minutes with Grimes unavailable, but he should see a smaller role with Grimes likely to play. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey drops 40, hits game-winning layup
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:18 PM
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 40 points (12-of-18 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four three-pointers in a 113-111 win over the Kings on Thursday.
Analysis: It was a subpar two-game stretch for Maxey entering this game, but he got back on track in a big way. Not only did he have his first 40-point game since November, but he also hit a game-winning layup with less than two seconds left. Maxey has had a fantastic season and continues to be one of the most effective players in fantasy basketball. He'll look to stay hot against the Pelicans on Saturday to wrap up the week. |

Joel Embiid Embiid puts up 37/5/8/1/1 line vs. Sacramento
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:10 PM
Joel Embiid lit up the Kings with 37 points (13-of-21 FGs, 10-of-13 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer on Thursday.
Analysis: Embiid stayed hot in this game and has now scored at least 30 points in five of his last six games. Over the past wo weeks, Embiid has provided top-five value in nine-category leagues, which is incredible value for a player drafted in the fifth round. Of course, the caveat of âhe has to stay healthyâ will remain until April, but he's playing at an incredibly high level. As long as he's on the floor, he'll continue to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball. |

Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 12:35 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Embiid was initially probable for Thursday's game, so the status upgrade was expected. He'll take on his usual starting center duties, with Adem Bona serving as the primary backup. Given how the rotation has been handled recently when all three bigs are available, Andre Drummond may be the odd man out. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) available Thursday vs. SAC
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 12:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Two days removed from his most productive game of the season, George is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Thursday night. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Dominick Barlow consigned to a bench role. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (ankle) downgraded to out Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 12:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Thursday's game will be the second that Gimes has missed due to a sprained right ankle. Justin Edwards played 24 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Bucks, and he may take on a similar workload against the Kings. However, there is not much to gain from streaming the second-year wing. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (ankle) questionable Thursday
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 11:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Grimes was held out of Tuesday's win over the Bucks, resulting in more playing time for Justin Edwards. If Grimes remains out, look for Edwards to remain in the rotation. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) probable Thursday vs. SAC
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: George is back on the injury report, but he should be good to go Thursday night. If he's unable to play, the 76ers would turn to Dominick Barlow and possibly even Justin Edwards to absorb those minutes. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) probable Thursday vs. SAC
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 11:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Embiid is back on the injury report, but his availability shouldn't be an issue since he's listed as probable. If he's unable play, the 76ers would rely on Andre Drummond and Adem Bona to handle the center responsibilities. Embiid playing would drop Drummond out of the rotation. |

Paul George George knocks down season-high nine triples
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 5:26 PM
Paul George led the 76ers with 32 points (11-of-21 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and nine three-pointers in a 139-122 win over the Bucks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Considering George scored nine total points in his last game, a new season high of nine triples was the last thing anyone was expecting. It was George's second 30-point game of the season, and it was enough to snap the 76ers' two-game losing streak. Even though George has struggled this year, his game is so fantasy-friendly that he has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues this season. He'll look to keep it going against the Kings on Thursday. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid puts up 29/9/5 line vs. Milwaukee
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 5:20 PM
Joel Embiid lit up the Bucks with 29 points (11-of-24 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer on Tuesday.
Analysis: Embiid's streak of 30-point games came to an end, but he certainly came close to extending it to a fifth game. He got off to a hot start by scoring 18 points in the first quarter, but he cooled down to close out the rest of the game. Still, considering where Embiid was drafted because of injury concerns, Embiid has been an incredible value in recent weeks. As long as he stays healthy, he'll continue to be a fantasy superstar. |

Keith Pompey
Joel Embiid (knee) is available to play against the Bucks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Embiid will be back after sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back on Monday. His return will push Andre Drummond back to the bench. Embiid has scored at least 30 points in four straight games, and he'll look to keep that streak going in this one. |
