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.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey goes off for game-high 33 points
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 4:01 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Monday's win over the Raptors with 33 points (10-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and six three-pointers.
Analysis: One day after scoring 38 points in a loss to the Raptors, Maxey dropped in another 33 in Monday's rematch. He's played at an All-Star level this season and is ranked among the best players in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. The lone negative for Maxey managers is Philadelphia's schedule: they have only two games left in Week 13 and will be finished on Friday.

Paul George (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: A late scratch for Sunday's loss to the Raptors, George is available for Monday's rematch. His return means that Kelly Oubre Jr. will head to the bench, with his playing time decreasing after logging 34 minutes on Sunday.

Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Monday vs. TOR
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 9:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Raptors.
Analysis: Embiid sat out Sunday's loss to Toronto, but it remains to be seen if he will get back on the court for the second leg of the Sixers' back-to-back set against the same opponent. If Embiid misses a second straight game, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should see increased playing time.
Paul George

NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Raptors.
Analysis: George was a late scratch on Sunday, but he's got a chance to take the court for the second leg of Philly's back-to-back set. If George is out for a second straight game, Kelly Oubre Jr. could remain in the starting lineup. Oubre Jr. delivered 13 points, five rebounds, four steals, three swats and a triple across 34 minutes on Sunday, and he's worth adding off the waiver wire in the hopes that he can build off of that performance.
Tyrese Maxey
Maxey erupts for 38 points in loss to Raptors
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 3:19 PM
Tyrese Maxey exploded for a game-high 38 points (13-of-27 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks over 44 minutes in Sunday's overtime loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Maxey heated up in the second quarter, finishing the opening half with a team-high 14 points, despite going just 4-of-10 from the floor. He took over the game in the second half, scoring 24 of his 38 points in the final two quarters and overtime, including a trio of key buckets in the final minute. The 25-year-old scoring machine drained a clutch step back three-pointer with 20 seconds left to give Philadelphia a four-point advantage which they were unable to hang onto. He finished just shy of reaching the 40-point plateau for the fifth time this season and has scored at least 27 points in 10 of his last 12 games since December 19. The two teams will square off again on Monday night for the tail-end of a back-to-back as the 76ers kick off a three-game week that also includes a pair of showdowns against the Cavaliers.

Ky Carlin
Paul George (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Initially announced as a starter for Sunday's game, George has been scratched with a sore left knee. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Kelly Oubre Jr., whose fantasy ceiling is raised even with a potential minutes restriction.
Andre Drummond
PHI starts Maxey, VJ, George, Barlow, Drummond
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 11:39 AM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: The 76ers won't have Joel Embiid for Sunday's game, as it's the first of two games in as many nights for Philadelphia. Drummond receives the starting nod, but Adem Bona should play plenty despite coming off the bench. That's the lone change to the starting lineup.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (knee) out Sunday vs. Raptors
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:02 AM
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, snapping a six-game active streak for the 31-year-old center. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center duties in his absence. Drummond is worth streaming in most formats.
Joel Embiid

Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 11:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Embiid is back on the injury report due to left knee injury management, but he has appeared in each of Philadelphia's last six games. If he's unable to play on Sunday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center responsibilities.
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.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey has 29 points in win vs. Magic Friday
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.
Joel Embiid

Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 12:33 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Friday's game, Embiid has been given the all-clear to play. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Adem Bona and Andre Drummond missing out on boosts to their minutes.

NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Embiid most recently played 25 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Wizards, with his playing time being limited since the game was a blowout. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond would handle the available minutes at the center position if Embiid were to miss Friday's game.
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, 12:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knees) is available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Embiid was upgraded to probable on Wednesday afternoon, so the final upgrade was expected. He'll take on his usual role as the starting center, with Andre Drummond potentially not being in the rotation again. Adem Bona has recently handled the backup center responsibilities.
