Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, uhh, Wayne Ellington has been moving a moment. On January 15th, the Pistons/Wizards game was postponed. In five games since then, Ellington hasn't played under 26 minutes in a game and hasn't made fewer than three three-pointers in any contest. And while […]

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside. Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games […]

Royce O'Neal (SF/PF, UTA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale hasn't had the most consistent season, but his high minutes per game and role as a starter for the Jazz makes him an ideal pickup in deeper fantasy basketball leagues. O'Neale's not going to consistently give fantasy managers […]

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, LAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough. Coming into Saturday's contest with the Bulls, Caruso had made six three-pointers over the past four games, […]

Ben Simmons Has Near Triple-Double

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons racked up 20 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over the Pistons. Simmons has only scored 15 or more points in two of the past seven games, but his versatility makes him a solid fantasy option. The guard is averaging […]

Joel Embiid Notches Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid compiled 33 points, 14 rebounds, one assist, two blocks, and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's win over Detroit.

Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris Will Play Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back), point guard Ben Simmons, and small/power forward Tobias Harris have all been given the green light to take the floor for Saturday's game versus the Pistons. Embiid spent the past two games demolishing Boston's interior defense to the tune of 42 and 38 points, respectively. He's once again in […]

Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris Late Adds To Saturday’s Injury Report

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons and small/power forward Tobias Harris have had their statuses thrown into doubt just prior to tip-off Saturday after head coach Doc Rivers noted that he wasn't sure that either would play after getting "banged up" on Friday. Rivers did not reveal the ailment for either player, but Philadelphia could […]

Joel Embiid Might Sit Out Versus Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Embiid sit out here. On Friday, Embiid played 30 minutes and put up monster numbers against the Boston Celtics. The team is likely going to wait until […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: While veteran Garrett Temple logged his second start of the season last Monday, that was all thanks to Patrick Williams opening him the door while being off the squad. The rook came back on Friday, and that threw Temple back to the bench. […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry is listed as probable to play Friday night against the Boston Celtics. Curry missed Wednesday against Boston despite not being listed on the injury report.

Seth Curry Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics due to COVID-19. He was cleared from the NBA's health and safety protocols but won't play on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid And Seth Curry Not On Injury Report For Wednesday

The Philadelphia 76ers do not have either center Joel Embiid (knee) or guard Seth Curry listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Joel Embiid Expected To Play Versus Boston

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The fact this game was pushed back gave Embiid time to rest his banged up knee.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice due to COVID-19. However, it appears he's finishing up the final stages of the NBA's health and safety protocols.
