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. (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. (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. (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.
