Kelly Oubre Jr. Plays 33 Minutes Off Bench
7 years agoWashington Wizards small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. played 33 minutes off the bench on Tuesday in his team's loss to the Sixers. Oubre came off the bench shooting, hoisting up four more shots than his average attempts per game. Unfortunately, he did not shoot very well, missing all six of his attempts from the behind the arc. He ended up with 10 points, four rebounds and three steals and was one of the three players on his team to record a positive plus/minus rating. On Thursday, the Wizards face the Celtics, who have held opposing small forwards to the lowest field goal percentage in the NBA. Don't look for Oubre to bounce back in this spot.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Ruled Out Versus Thunder
2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss his third straight game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran scorer has been dealing with a knee sprain, and there isn't a timetable for when he will return. With Oubre on Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all can take on more significant roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the three, as he posted a double-double two games ago against the Dallas Mavericks.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Sits Out Monday's Game
3 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss a third straight game on Monday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran scorer is struggling to overcome a knee sprain. With Oubre Jr. joining Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all have the chance to take on larger roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the trio. He notched a double-double in the last game against the Dallas Mavericks and has averaged 14.3 points with 5.3 rebounds over the past four contests.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Play On Friday
3 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) won't play on Friday against Indiana. Oubre had 13 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's loss to Toronto. However, he won't be available on Friday, joining Andre Drummond (toe), Justin Edwards (ankle), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), and Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) on the shelf. As a result, Philly will need to dig deep for production, with Jared Butler, Adem Bona, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Ricky Council IV, and Guerschon Yabusele on tap to see a sizable bump in scoring opportunities.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Available Against Toronto
3 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Raptors. The veteran didn't suit up for Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks because of a sprained ankle. As a result, Lonnie Walker IV moved into the starting lineup and finished with 11 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While Walker could move back to the bench, head coach Nick Nurse may continue to give his bench players extra work, meaning he should remain relevant for fantasy managers. As far as Oubre is concerned, he's a must-start, especially since he'll likely finish as one of the Sixers' top scorers, considering Tyrese Maxey (back, finger) and Paul George (groin) are out.
