Philadelphia 76ers guard Buddy Hield (recently traded) will not make his team debut in Friday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. Hield's Sixers debut following Thursday's trade with the Indiana Pacers will have to wait until Saturday at the earliest, when Philly travels to D.C. to face the Washington Wizards. Tyrese Maxey (illness) is a late addition to the injury report, so the backcourt could be extremely undermanned on Friday. Kelly Oubre Jr. is the best bet for fantasy purposes against a Hawks team that's allowing the most points per game (124.0) in the NBA this season. Since Jan. 27, Oubre is averaging 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 three-pointers, and 0.9 blocks in 32.4 minutes over his last seven games.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) will suit up ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Wiggins made his return to the court on Wednesday and was limited during that game. However, the fact he was limited was probably because the game was a blowout. The expectation is that Wiggins should go back to his normal role on Thursday. Fellow forward Draymond Green (knee) has also been cleared for this game. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups ahead of Thursday's game.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran forward was questionable coming into this game due to a knee contusion. He was limited on Wednesday, but that was likely because the game was a blowout. Fantasy managers should expect Green to go back to his normal role on Thursday. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups ahead of tip-off.
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. In return, the Pacers receive Furkan Korkmaz, Marcus Morris Sr., and three second-round picks. Overall, the 76ers dealt two expiring contracts with some added filler to get themselves a bona-fide shooter who was falling out of the Pacers' rotation. Hield should instantly see a bump in fantasy value, as he'll become a key piece in the Sixers' rotation as someone who can score and play off the ball along with Tyrese Maxey. So far this year, Hield has averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.6 made threes, and 1.2 turnovers per game while shooting 44.3% from the floor and 38.4% from deep.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wiggins will make his return to the court after missing one game due to a left ankle sprain. Brandin Podziemski figures to take a hit in fantasy value with Wiggins back in the picture. Although, Podziemski has seen an increased role recently which means he might still be worth holding in certain fantasy formats.
