De'Anthony Melton Has Solid Night From The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton played well in the Game 1 postseason win over Boston. Although Doc Rivers ran his starting lineup into the ground, with each of the five logging at least 36 minutes, Melton still got some action. He had an impressive showing, amassing 17 points off 6-for-10 shooting from the field and 5-for-6 […]

Paul Reed Has A Double-Double In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Paul Reed had a double-double in Monday's win over the Celtics. With Joel Embiid (knee) out, the 23-year-old was back in the starting lineup, finishing with 13 rebounds and 10 points. However, despite Reed's uptick in production, his fantasy value will plummet once Embiid is back on the floor, which may come […]

Tobias Harris Drops 18 Points In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris had 18 points in the Game 1 win over the Boston Celtics. James Harden and Tyrese Maxey combined for 71 points.

Tyrese Maxey Has Big Night On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey scored 26 points in Monday's playoff victory over the Boston Celtics. He also had four steals. The 22-year-old averaged 21.8 points during the series against the Brooklyn Nets, so he had no trouble staying hot in this one. Of course, Joel Embiid (knee) wasn't available, meaning Maxey was afforded additional […]

James Harden Leads Philly To Game 1 Victory

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden finished with a game-high 45 points in Monday's postseason win over Boston. Joel Embiid (knee) didn't suit up for this one, so the former MVP put on a show, going 17-for-30 from the field and 7-for-14 from deep while adding six assists and two steals. This was the type of […]

Joel Embiid Might Return For Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) didn't suit up for Monday's postseason clash with the Celtics. However, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, there's "optimism" he'll return for Game 2 on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid Ruled Out For Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Monday. As expected, the superstar big man is unable to play due to a sprained right LCL.
