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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (ankle) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Tuesday.

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (ankle) questionable Tuesday
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 8:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Grimes is a late addition to the injury report with a right ankle sprain, which doesn't bode well for his availability. The severity of the injury is unknown, but it's possible Philadelphia is taking a cautious approach on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon may see a few extra minutes if Grimes sits out, but neither are appealing fantasy streaming options. |

Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 8:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Embiid sat out the first leg of the Sixers' back-to-back set, but he's got a chance to take the court on Tuesday. If Embiid is ultimately ruled out, Andre Drummond should remain in the starting lineup, with Adem Bona earning additional run off the bench. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) probable Tuesday vs. Bucks
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 8:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: George sat out Monday due to left knee injury management, but he's expected to play on the second night of Philadelphia's back-to-back set. George's return should push Dominick Barlow back to the bench, but fantasy managers shouldn't have been rostering Barlow. Kelly Oubre Jr. should still retain his fantasy value regardless of George's availability. |

Tyrese Maxey Maxey limited to six points in blowout defeat
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:36 AM
Tyrese Maxey amassed six points (3-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in Monday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid and Paul George sitting out due to injury management, many likely expected a big afternoon from Maxey. Unfortunately for him and the 76ers, the Hornets had other ideas. Maxey had one of his worst games of the season, missing all three of his three-point attempts and shooting 33.3 percent from inside the arc. The seven assists were nice, but fantasy managers are left to hope that Maxey bounces back on Tuesday against the Bucks. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. scores team-high 17 points
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:35 AM
Kelly Oubre Jr. finished Monday's loss to the Hornets with 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Oubre was the lone 76ers starter in double figures on Monday, continuing a nice run of production for him. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Oubre is in the starting lineup, he'll be worth rostering in deep leagues and some standard ones as well. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) out Monday vs. Charlotte
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: George will sit out Monday's game due to left knee injury management, and the change in start time may have been a factor. The game will start at 3 PM Eastern instead of 7 PM, cutting down on the time that George and Joel Embiid would have to get their bodies ready. So, both will sit. George's absence may push Dominick Barlow back into the starting lineup, but he isn't worth streaming. However, fantasy managers should target Kelly Oubre Jr. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) out Monday vs. Hornets
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:05 AM
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Embiid had 38 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in Saturday's loss to the Knicks, but is set to miss Monday's game against the Hornets. The 31-year-old center is out for left knee injury management reasons. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should handle the center minutes and Embiid should be back Tuesday for the game against the Bucks. |
