Montrezl Harrell Starts On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Montrezl Harrell will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers will be without superstar big man Joel Embiid (foot) for this contest. This doesn't appear to be serious injury, but the Sixers want to be cautious with Embiid. Harrell is averaging 18 points per game […]

P.J. Tucker Won't Play On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. The veteran is under the weather, so he'll join Joel Embiid (foot) on the sidelines for this contest. Georges Niang, who scored 11 points in 25 minutes versus the Clippers, may see an uptick in production from off the bench, giving him streaming […]

Joel Embiid Won't play On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) won't play on Sunday against Detroit, marking his third consecutive absence. The big man is battling foot soreness, although it doesn't seem to be anything serious, so hopefully, he'll be back for Tuesday's rematch in Philly. In the meantime, Montrezl Harrell or Paul Reed may enter the starting lineup. […]

Joel Embiid To Remain Sidelined On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man missed Wednesday's game as well due to right foot soreness.

Tyrese Maxey Returns To Starting Five

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) will move back into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Maxey will make his first start since returning from his injured foot. He's likely starting because center Joel Embiid (foot) is out, so the Sixers want to get a boost on offense. It's unknown if […]

Joel Embiid Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Indiana due to a sore left foot. The absence marks the first for Embiid since Nov. 27, paving the way for Paul Reed, Georges Niang and Montrezl Harrell to play elevated roles in the frontcourt. Without Embiid and his 33.5 PPG […]

Joel Embiid Questionable On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Indiana. Prior to Monday's meeting with New Orleans, he was on the injury report with a back problem and Embiid now has a sore left foot. He had no trouble playing through injury against the Pelicans, going off for 42 points, […]

Joel Embiid Dominates Against New Orleans

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid crushed the Pelicans on Monday with 42 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in a 120-111 win. There were fears of him potentially missing the game, as Embiid was on the injury report with a lower back issue, but it looks like the ailment didn't bother him at all, with […]

Joel Embiid To Play On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is available for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The superstar big man was considered questionable earlier in the day due to back soreness. It appears he's good to go and shouldn't be limited during this contest. Embiid was fantastic during their last meeting against the Pelicans. Hopefully, […]

Joel Embiid Questionable For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man is dealing with lower back soreness, so this will likely be more of a game-time decision. His absence would mean more playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed. Neither of them are great fantasy […]

De'Anthony Melton (SG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: James Harden missed the Sixers' last game of the year on Dec. 31 as he was given a day off by Philly. Tyrese Maxey came back from injury on Dec. 30 but didn't play on the second leg of that back-to-back, either. […]

Joel Embiid Collects His Fifth Career Triple-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid recorded his fifth career triple-double on Saturday, finishing a comfortable 115-96 road win over the Thunder with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a whole lot of years of NBA/BAA basketball (it's been around since 1947) and even more debutants (I don't know how many rookies there have been through history, but you bet it's been more than a handful), only 128 of them […]

Tyrese Maxey Unavailable On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young guard played for the first time in a month and a half on Friday. Understandably, the Sixers are going to take the cautious approach and rest Maxey in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fellow […]

James Harden Resting On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard will sit this game out due to rest management because of his right foot issue. His absence should mean an increased workload for Shake Milton and De'Anthony Melton on Saturday. Both players should be considered […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/31/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't think of a better day to make some money with daily fantasy basketball contests. The matchups are reasonably evenly spread in terms of their fantasy appeal tonight. Still, there is a clear tier break in the implied totals after the Nets-Hornets, Pelicans-Grizzlies, Mavericks-Spurs, and Pistons-Timberwolves matchups. The Nets, […]

Tyrese Maxey Faces Minutes Limit In Return Friday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) will suit up for the first time since Nov. 18 on Friday against New Orleans, but fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate a full workload. Head coach Doc Rivers wouldn't say exactly how many minutes the 22-year-old would draw, but it will be far from his 36.4 average across his […]

Tyrese Maxey Listed As Probable To Return On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) has been given the probable status to make his return from an 18-game absence after fracturing his left foot in a mid-November game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the first time the Sixers will have all three of their core starters together since October 29th. With Maxey […]

Joel Embiid Has Another 40-Point Game In Losing Effort

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid moved to second in team history with 32 games of 40 or more points. He surpassed Wilt Chamberlain and now has Allen Iverson in front of him who has 76 games at that same mark. During Tuesday's loss to the Washington Wizards, Embiid posted 48 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, […]
