Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed three games, but he's been back in practice this week, which is a sign that he's trending in the right direction and could be available again on Wednesday. Melton has done well as Tyrese Maxey's backcourt partner this season, recording 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.7 steals. He'll have a crucial role in trying to slow down Trae Young on Wednesday if Melton is good to go.
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said forward Tobias Harris (ankle) and guard De'Anthony Melton (back) practiced on Monday. Robert Covington (illness) and Furkan Korkmaz (illness) were also seen at the session. Harris exited Friday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks early and is nursing soreness in his left ankle after missing Saturday's second half of a back-to-back. The versatile 31-year-old has some extra time to recover with the Sixers off until Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Melton, on the other hand, has missed three straight outings due to lumbar spine soreness, so his presence back on the court is certainly encouraging. Kelly Oubre Jr. has averaged 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 treys, and 1.2 steals in 14 starts for Philly this year and would likely continue to do so if one or both of Harris and Melton remain off the floor on Wednesday.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kuminga came into Friday's game with the same issue, but managed to log in 36 minutes during that contest. It's worth noting that Kuminga was probable ahead of that game, but has since then been downgraded to questionable. His absence would mean that Andrew Wiggins would likely move into the starting five. A move to the starting unit would give Wiggins greater streaming appeal.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (suspension) was reinstated by the league on Saturday. The veteran sat out 12 games, during which he underwent counseling and routine "progress meetings" with the team and league representatives. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported it will take him "approximately a week to ramp up," so fantasy managers may not see him back in the lineup until next Saturday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. Without question, the 33-year-old has been a valuable fantasy option throughout his career. He's averaged 9.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign. However, with Chris Paul (hand) out of commission for the forseeable future, Green should benefit in all statistical areas.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The young forward has reportedly said that he's not happy with his current role on the team. Kuminga sat out the final 18 minutes of Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. The expectation was that he'd have a bigger role with Draymond Green suspended, but that hasn't really happened. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better option even if he does play on Friday.
