Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 16

The product on the NBA court this week is not as important as the drama taking place off it. By the time you read this, it's possible that the Feb. 6 trade deadline has come and gone, and perhaps the landscape of the league is noticeably different. We got an advanced taste of this frenzied […]

Joel Embiid Struggles On His Way To 28th Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid posted his 28th double-double of the season on Thursday, but things came really hard for him in a 112-101 loss to the Bucks, as he shot just 6-for-26 from the field and 4-for-7 at the line. Half of his makes were from downtown, and he finished with 19 points, 11 […]

Tobias Harris Scores Team-High 25 Points

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris finished Thursday's loss to Milwaukee with a team-high 25 points, shooting 10-for-23 from the field and a spectacular 5-for-6 from downtown. He added seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 38 minutes of action. Harris had managed just 16 total points in the first two games of the month, […]

Ben Simmons Stuffs Stat Sheet In Thursday's Loss

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons was busy all over the court in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee, picking up 11 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block, and four turnovers. He played a massive 42 minutes and shot 5-for-6 from the field. Philly took another painful road loss, but they can dwell on […]

James Ennis Gets Traded for Draft Pick

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward James Ennis has been traded to the Orlando Magic for a second-round pick. He wasn't a big part of the rotation and they needed to clear roster spots with Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III joining the roster. Ennis is going to be lost in the shuffle while battling Evan Fournier, Terrence […]

Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III Traded to Sixers

Golden State Warriors guard Alec Burks and forward Glenn Robinson III have been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for three second-round picks. It's a great move for Philly who finally gets some much needed depth. Unfortunately, Burks is going to lose most of his fantasy value with the move to Philly. He could […]

Josh Richardson is Ruled Out for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was given around a two or three week timetable to return and Thursday marks the two week mark. Richardson has been able to get in some work during practices, but it doesn't sound he's ready to play […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Damian Lillard and Tobias Harris

The NBA trade deadline is looming, but that's not necessarily the case for fantasy leagues. Most of us still have the opportunity to improve our teams through some clever wheeling and dealing. And what better to do than to try and turn your in-form player into a more valuable guy who isn't at his best […]

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 16)

The Portland Trail Blazers have had an interesting season to say the least. Not only have they been carried by Damian Lillard for the past month or so, but if it weren't for players like C.J. McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, Rodney Hood, and a few others stepping up at just the right time, this explosion from […]

The Fantasy Basketball Drop List: Week 15

It's been a long week. Kobe Bryant's passing last Sunday has cast a pall over basketball, and has made it hard to see the games as what they're meant to be: games. Instead, turning on an NBA game has been met with this huge sense of sadness and grief, and this feeling that everything is […]

Ben Simmons Fills The Stat Sheet In Loss To Celtics

The Philadelphia 76ers may have gotten trounced by the Celtics 116-95, though their point guard Ben Simmons came to play. He was aggressive and locked in on both ends of the floor. In 37 minutes, the former No. 1 overall pick tallied 24 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and one steal. Simmons scored the ball […]

Joel Embiid Struggles Mightily In Blowout Loss To Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had undoubtedly one of his worst individual performances of the season in a 116-95 defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics Saturday. The 2020 NBA all-star played 23 minutes and finished with just 11 points on 1-for-11 shooting from the field, while also failing to connect on any of […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had the best game of his young NBA career, setting new career highs with 27 points, six assists, five rebounds and five three-pointers in a loss to the Hawks.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons shot 10 of 15 from the field versus the Hawks on Thursday to finish with 31 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Ben Simmons is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with a minor illness, but is expected to suit up for this game. He'll likely see his usage dip back down to normal with Joel Embiid (hand) back in the rotation. Fantasy owners should check back […]

Al Horford Won't Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Joel Embiid (hand) is back in the rotation, so it's not surprising that the Sixers are letting Horford rest here. Kyle O'Quinn and Mike Scott should be asked to play more without Horford in the rotation. Embiid could […]

Al Horford is Questionable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with left knee soreness, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Sixers give him a day off. Kyle O'Quinn and Mike Scott (knee) would likely see more minutes in the rotation if Horford sits out. […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Khris Middleton and Karl-Anthony Towns

Trading is an integral part of both NBA and fantasy basketball. As the whole sports world mourns the death of the great Kobe Bryant, it is hard to imagine him in any other outfit except purple and gold. But if the Lakers hadn't had such great vision and traded Vlade Divac for him back in […]

Joel Embiid Will Return To Action Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been cleared to return to the floor for Tuesday’s contest against the Golden State Warriors. Embiid had missed each of his team’s nine previous outings after undergoing hand surgery, so it’s possible that head coach Brett Brown eases him back into the mix. Regardless, Al Horford is likely to […]
