Jalen McDaniels Exits With A Hip Problem
Jalen McDaniels featured for only eight minutes Sunday against Washington, leaving the game with a right hip contusion. He was able to put up six points and had one rebound before exiting. Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said after the game that McDaniels's injury isn't serious, so it's possible that he won't have to miss any games. McDaniels has lost most of his fantasy appeal with the move to Philadelphia, but he's a versatile player who can help out the team in multiple ways and his absence would be felt. The 25-year-old recently had an outstanding game as a starter with 20 points and eight rebounds versus Indiana, and McDaniels could become a good streaming option again if he finds his way back into the starting unit.

Jalen McDaniels Uncertain For Game 3
Jalen McDaniels (illness) is questionable ahead of the postseason meeting in Brooklyn. The 25-year-old has averaged only 2.5 points in 19.5 minutes per game in the series with the Nets. However, he's dealing with a non-COVID illness, so he may not be out there. If that's the case, Georges Niang and Danuel House Jr. could see more work. But neither man will likely receive enough to make a dent for DFS managers.

Jalen McDaniels Ruled Out Wednesday
Jalen McDaniels (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. McDaniels has been in and out of the lineup the past week and will now sit with a hip bruise. Danuel House and Georges Niang should continue to have solid roles as McDaniels has not been playing much regardless of injury.

Jalen McDaniels Questionable With Hip Soreness
Jalen McDaniels (hip) has been listed as questionable due to hip soreness for their contest against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The 25-year-old only played eight minutes in their last game on Monday against the Bulls and has been a limited fantasy asset unless some bigger names are out of the lineup. Currently, James Harden (Achilles) is also questionable, so if he can't play and McDaniels does, there are some more opportunities available. At this time, however, McDaniels isn't recommended as an option in any fantasy format.

Jalen McDaniels Will Sit Out Versus Cavs
Jalen McDaniels (hip) will not play Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. McDaniels has a hip contusion which forced him out of their last game and will cause the forward to sit Wednesday at the least. De'Anthony Melton and Georges Niang should absorb most of the leftover minutes while Danuel House also sees some extra run.
