Tobias Harris Cools Off Against Brooklyn

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris missed all three attempts from deep and shot just 8-for-17 from the field in Sunday's loss to Brooklyn which he ended with 17 points. Harris went into the game averaging 24.8 points this month, so he was a big disappointment, especially with Joel Embiid (illness) on the sidelines. He finished […]

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott scored 15 points while adding five threes and four rebounds in Thursday's 115-109 victory over the Celtics.

Al Horford Will Not Play Thursday Night

Al Horford is Questionable Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Al Horford (knee, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Horford was able to get through shootaround, so that's a good sign.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/10/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Well, we had a 1-for-5 night last night. Woof. Blake Griffin disappeared, and Derrick Rose had a vintage D Rose game in his absence (of course). Devin Booker was a free throw away from hitting the over, but landed half a point short. D'Angelo Russell went 6-for-22 and still almost hit his over. At least […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Richaun Holmes and Blake Griffin

I'm sure most of us are familiar with the strategy of selling a player high when he is on a roll, and with buying another low when he is playing poorly. This is usually a smart move, as streaks tend to end, and when they do we're left with the better player. I've taken a […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 8 (Dec 9 - Dec 15)

Recently I had a short conversation on Reddit (fantasybball subreddit of course) about the benefits and importance of streaming. The fantasy owner who started the conversation analyzed the stats his streamers have brought him over a three-week period and calculated that it was equal to a top-25 to top-40 production. Mind you, this was a […]

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 8)

Immediately upon Kyle Lowry's return to the starting lineup, Fred Vanvleet went down with an injury that looks like it will keep him out for at least two weeks. Since most people were concerned about how Lowry will impact VanVleet production, it's pretty clear now. Outside of the Raptors, there is one player that has […]

Josh Richardson is Upgraded to Probable

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's missed the last six games due to a hamstring issue.

Josh Richardson Questionable To Make Return Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson has missed each of his team’s previous six contests due to right hamstring tightness, but has left the door open for suiting up Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.

Matisse Thybulle is Questionable for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Saturday's blowout win over the Cavs. Furkan Korkmaz, James Ennis, and Trey Burke would be asked to play more if Thybulle sits out. None of them are great fantasy options, but […]

Joel Embiid Will Be Fine for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Saturday's game due to a left hip contusion. However, Embiid is not going to sit out a rematch versus Toronto. He was held to zero points last time they played against the Raptors. Embiid is going to be […]

Trey Burke Pours In Season-High 21 Points Off Bench
