FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/15/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It feels like a get-away-day in baseball. We have two slates for the NBA today, and none of that two game slate garbage! There are actually 11 games on this Martin Luther King day (I hope you're off and get to enjoy the games), but FanDuel has essentially split them into two "main" slates - […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 14)

Recapping the past week of basketball in a string of words without any context: Porzingis. Lonzo??? OVERTIME. DOUBLE OVERTIME. Le...LeBron? CP3! London. Udoh again? LOU WILL LOU WILL LOU WILL.  It was a wild week in some ways. This is accidentally a guard-heavy edition of Risers and Fallers. I think part of that is because […]

J.J. Redick Heats up Against the Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was feeling it in London, scoring 13 in the first quarter to end the game with an efficient 22 points (7-for-12). Redick knocked down five triples in the loss and was rebounding the ball very well on top of that, finishing with seven boards in his 30 minutes. He […]

Ben Simmons Scores 16 Points With Supporting Stats

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons played well in London against the Celtics, scoring 16 points on an above-average 8-for-12 shooting. Simmons wasn't his usual passing or rebounding self with only two boards and three assists in this one. The defensive numbers were there, however, as he came away with two steals and two blocks […]

Joel Embiid Posts Double-Double Against the Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid made the most of the international stage on Thursday, scoring 15 points on a less than efficient 6-for-17 shooting, while grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds in his 30 minutes on the court. Embiid was also showing off his passing skills in this one, pulling off a nice five assists from […]

Robert Covington's Slump Continues in London

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington's struggles persisted across the pond, shooting a lousy 2-for-8 from the field to finish with five points against the Celtics. Worse yet, Covington turned the ball over four times in this one while only adding three rebounds and one assist elsewhere. He has really had a tough time lately, but […]

Dario Saric Plays Well in London

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric was effective on Thursday against Boston despite struggling with his shot (4-for-11). Saric scored 14 points in the contest, to go along with four boards and three assists. He showed his usual active hands on defense as well and came away with two steals for his efforts. Sixers rookie guard […]

T.J. McConnell has a Nice Game on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard T.J. McConnell had a fine game off the bench in London, as he shot 6-for-11 from the field to score 12 points in his 26 minutes of action. McConnell was doing it out of the scoring column as well, racking up four rebounds and five assists in the loss to Boston. He […]

Amir Johnson Ruled Out Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Amir Johnson (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is the Sixers only game of the week, so Johnson will have plenty of time to rest up. The Sixers don't play again until Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Joel Embiid is healthy, so Johnson would've seen […]

Ben Simmons Scores 26 Points In Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons dropped 26 points en route to beating the San Antonio Spurs. Over the last couple of games, Simmons has been attacking the hoop with a purpose and has seen dividends, as he got to shoot 15 times from the free throw line, though it hasn’t come without a cost, as he’s shooting […]

Joel Embiid Posts Double-Double Despite Injury

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid battled through a right hand injury to lead his team to a victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. He dropped 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while blocking four shots. Embiid also shot 9-for-11 from the charity stripe, as the Spurs didn’t quite have the muscle to […]

Joel Embiid Surprisingly Active

Updating an earlier report, Philadephia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hand) is now active after going through warmups ahead of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Embiid was originally ruled out, but somehow feels better and will start. It is unknown if Embiid will be on any restrictions, however, knowing Philadelphia, they could be cautious […]

Joel Embiid Officially Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Sixers center Joel Embiid (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday night's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Embiid was considered "very doubtful" coming into the game, so the absence comes as no surprise. X-rays came back negative on Embiid's injured shooting hand, but he appears to still have discomfort and will get […]

Joel Embiid Remains Doubtful on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is doubtful to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not participate in shootaround, and is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest. If Embiid sits, Ben Simmons will benefit the most and should see a spike in usage. Richaun Holmes will see […]

Joel Embiid is Doubtful for Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The X-rays on Embiid's hand came back negative, but it sounds like his hand has swelled up since Sunday. The Sixers tend to handle Embiid carefully, so it's likely he watches Wednesday's game from the sidelines. If […]

Markelle Fultz in Final Stages of His Return

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz (shoulder) is in the final stages of his return-to-play program. Fultz will ramp up his activities at practice and his conditioning work will increase. The Sixers have not yet announced a timetable, but Fultz is getting close. T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless will lose playing time and value once Fultz […]
