Joel Embiid Posts Monstrous 59-Point Outing Against Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid posted an absurd career-high game as he led the team to a 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz. The perennial MVP candidate put up 59 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, seven blocks, and one steal as he shot 19-for-28 overall and 20-for-24 from the free-throw line. Embiid absolutely dominated both […]

Furkan Korkmaz To Remain Sidelined

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Korkmaz was forced to exit early on Saturday due to a left knee issue. The team will take the cautious approach here and rest Korkmaz. Luckily, De'Anthony Melton is […]

Joel Embiid Crushes The Hawks With 42 Points

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored with ease against the Hawks on Saturday, putting up a season-high 42 points in a 121-109 win. He nailed one of his six three-point attempts but shot a solid 14-for-25 overall from the field and had a good 13-for-16 record at the line. Embiid also posted his third consecutive […]

De'Anthony Melton To Sit Against Hawks

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His absence will move Matisse Thybulle into the starting five for Saturday's game. Thybulle is a good defender, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of scoring. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid are the focal points on offense […]

Joel Embiid Has Strong Outing On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was basically the only reliable option for this offense on Thursday. The big man notched 26 points on 9-of-18 shooting with 13 rebounds and two assists in the loss. The 28-year-old also had seven turnovers, which hurt, but the performances of Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris didn't help. Despite the […]

P.J. Tucker Good To Go Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (hip) is available and will start against Atlanta on Thursday. The veteran is dealing with a left hip contusion, but he's probably played through worse ailments in his career and is ready to contribute. Tucker doesn't do a lot for fantasy managers, but he's a big piece for the Sixers, […]

P.J. Tucker Considered Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's trip to Atlanta. The veteran is dealing with left hip contusion and could end up missing his first game of the season. Georges Niang put in an impressive 21-point performance against Phoenix on Monday and could end up getting most of the minutes […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 4

The league took Tuesday off to encourage voter turnout in the mid-term elections, which meant we had games on only Monday and Wednesday.

Joel Embiid Returns With A 33-10 Double-Double

He also had five assists with one block and three turnovers in 37 minutes. Shooting-wise, the comeback could have gone much better, but Embiid has been very efficient […]

Luguentz Dort (SG, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rostering Lu Dort in your fantasy team is the closest thing to rostering a linebacker--even if we're talking about basketball here. Dort is a goddam unit but that doesn't mean he can dance on the hardwood. He's definitely not one to target […]

De'Anthony Melton Likely To Start Moving Forward

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton is expected to move into the starting lineup, starting on Friday night versus the New York Knicks. With James Harden (ankle) sidelined for at least a month, Melton will have a chance to see a rise in production until the former MVP returns. The 28-year-old has averaged only 9.5 points […]

Joel Embiid Receives Questionable Tag For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been upgraded to questionable for the team's game against the New York Knicks. He's been suffering from a non-COVID illness that has kept him out of the last two games. After the news about James Harden (foot) missing a month of action, Embiid's health becomes that much more […]

James Harden Ruled Out For A Month

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out of action for a month. The Beard has been diagnosed with a right foot tendon strain. The news comes after Joel Embiid (illness) sat out for the third time in four games Wednesday against Washington. It's currently unclear if Embiid is able to return Friday […]

De'Anthony Melton Dealing With Back Stiffness

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) was a late scratch for Wednesday's clash with Washington and his status for Friday's game versus the Knicks is currently unknown.

Matisse Thybulle Suffers Injury On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) picked up an injury during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The young guard was expected to have an increased workload with the team shorthanded. However, Thybulle only lasted 16 minutes due to a sprained ankle. Thybulle has strong upside on defense, but has been buried on the depth […]

James Harden Tweaks Leg In Loss

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (leg) suffered a minor injury during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran sharpshooter tweaked his left leg, but it's believed to be a minor contusion. He finished with 24 points, 10 assists, five rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss. It's uncertain whether or not Harden will be […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Wednesday With An Illness

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. The 28-year-old will now miss his second straight game while hampered by a non-COVID-related illness. De'Anthony Melton is also out, so head coach Doc Rivers will likely continue to run his starting unit into the ground. As a result, Tyrese Maxey and James […]

Joel Embiid Questionable Wednesday With Illness

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Embiid has already missed one game with the non-COVID illness, but may have a chance to suit up in their rematch against the Wizards. While Embiid sat, the Sixers have gone small with P.J. Tucker as small-ball center and De'Anthony […]

James Harden Matches Career High With 17 Assists
