Dewayne Dedmon Leads Hawks In Scoring Versus Knicks
Dewayne Dedmon went for 21 points in Thursday's loss to the Knicks, finishing as the team's leading scorer. John Collins had only eight points and the rest of the starters combined just 26. Dedmon dropped four three-point bombs on New York, shooting 6-for-10 overall from the field. He was quiet on the boards with only two rebounds, but he did manage to get one steal and one block. Dedmon has scored at least 10 points in 11 of his last 13 outings, and he should do well again against the Pistons next Friday, but don't expect him to get many rebounds vs. Andre Drummond.

Dewayne Dedmon Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man hasn't played since early January before he joined the Sixers. That being said, it's uncertain how Dedmon is going to fit into the rotation. Montrezl Harrell has been playing well as the backup center to superstar Joel Embiid. Possibly, Harrell loses a few minutes to Dedmon, but we'll wait and see how head coach Doc Rivers shakes out his rotation. Regardless, it's unlikely that Dedmon gets enough minutes to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats right now.

Dewayne Dedmon Likely Good To Go On Sunday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is expected to play against the Nets. The 33-year-old journeyman has averaged only 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, so it wouldn't be a huge loss for fantasy managers if he doesn't suit up. However, with Bam Adebayo (thigh) questionable, there's a chance Dedmon may see more action. Still, it won't make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint, especially since he likely won't start even if Adebayo isn't available.

Dewayne Dedmon Returns On Wednesday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is set to make his return to the court on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran big man has missed the six games due to plantar fasciitis and the league's health and safety protocols. It's nice to have him back on the court, but he's unlikely to make a significant impact. Bam Adebayo is healthy and should see the bulk of the playing time at the center spot. That being said, Dedmon and Orlando Robinson will go back to playing minimal roles.

Dewayne Dedmon Questionable For Saturday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and it's been bothering him for a while, with the veteran center a regular on the team's injury report. Despite the health issue, Dedmon has played in 21 of 26 games this season, putting up 6.9 points with 3.6 boards. He's been able to pop up with a few good performances, but Dedmon plays behind Bam Adebayo and typically doesn't get enough minutes to make a significant impact in fantasy hoops.
