Tonight features a solid six game slate that has numerous value plays which should allow for multiple studs to be rostered.

T.J. McConnell Goes For 16 Points Off The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers point guard T.J. McConnell finished Friday's 123-121 loss against the Atlanta Hawks with 16 points in 34 minutes off the bench, going a very efficient 7-for-8 from the field. Perhaps his biggest contribution didn't appear on the stat sheet, however, as he pulled Jimmy Butler away from a potential fracas after an elbow […]

Ben Simmons Posts Triple-Double In Home Setback

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons went for 23 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds with a pair of steals and a blocked shot over 43 minutes in Friday's 123-121 loss against the Atlanta Hawks.

Joel Embiid Unable To Play Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will sit out Friday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to an ankle injury. Mike Muscala will start at the center spot in his place, making him an appealing DFS option, although both Jonah Bolden and Amir Johnson could cut into those minutes. Additionally, a larger offensive roll could be […]

J.J. Redick Cleared To Suit Up Friday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick will take the floor for Friday’s match-up versus the Atlanta Hawks after being listed as questionable due to a back injury. Redick has been sidelined with the back issue for the past two contests, presumably knocking Furkan Korkmaz -- who had been starting in Redick’s place -- down the […]

Joel Embiid To Be A Gametime Decision Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has his status up in the air for Friday’s game versus the Atlanta Hawks due to an ankle injury that he aggravated Wednesday against Washington. Embiid has missed two games this season, with the most recent seeing Philadelphia blown out in a 34-point defeat. Head coach Brett Brown would have […]

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick is questionable to play in Friday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to a back injury that has cost him his team’s previous two games.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons came just two assists short of his seventh triple-double of the season on Wednesday, finishing a 123-106 loss to Washington with 15 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. He shot 7-for-15 from the field and 1-for-4 from the charity stripe. However, seven turnovers left an ugly stain on his […]

Jimmy Butler Scores Inefficient 23 Points On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Jimmy Butler shot just 7-for-18 from the field in Wednesday's loss to Washington, but his good 9-for-10 record from the free throw line still helped him get 23 points. Butler also had nine rebounds and two steals, although it wasn't a pretty performance as he finished with a minus-22 rating. Things […]

Joel Embiid Has Mixed Performance On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored a game-high 35 points and grabbed 14 rebounds on Wednesday against Washington, but he also committed seven turnovers and finished with an ugly minus-25 rating in a 123-106 loss. Embiid shot 11-for-17 from the field and 12-for-14 from the line while producing three blocks and one steal defensively. He'll […]

J.J. Redick Remains Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick will be on the bench for the second straight night versus the Washington Wizards, ruled out for Wednesday’s contest due to a back injury. Furkan Korkmaz will enter the starting lineup in his place and once again be an attractive DFS commodity due to his low price, but Landry […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards. Embiid also grabbed 10 rebounds and added four assists and a block.

J.J. Redick To Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game versus the Washington Wizards due to lower back tightness. Furkan Korkmaz will enter the starting lineup in Redick’s place and becoming a high-upside DFS play for the evening. Redick finds himself in the midst of another strong offensive season, averaging a career-high […]

Jimmy Butler is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Butler has missed the last two games due to an illness, but looked good during Monday's practice. Landry Shamet and Furkan Korkmaz will see reduced playing time with Butler back in the rotation.

Ben Simmons is Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Simmons was unable to practice on Monday, so it's unclear if he'll be ready by Tuesday. T.J. McConnell would have solid DFS value without Simmons in the rotation.

Jimmy Butler, Wilson Chandler Practice on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (illness) and forward Wilson Chandler (illness) were both full participants during Monday's practice. Butler has missed the last two games, but appears on track to return on Tuesday. Landry Shamet and Furkan Korkmaz won't have much fantasy value once Butler returns.
