Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is back on the injury report for his Achilles tendinitis, but he's considered probable to play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks are locked into a play-in spot, but still could fall out of the eighth seed as they sit just one game ahead of the Chicago Bulls. Luckily, having Young against the battered and bruised Sixers should mean at least one win in these last two games. This should also make him a popular DFS option, but if he doesn't suit up for some reason, Terance Mann would likely move into the starting lineup while Caris LeVert would also get a bump in minutes.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards (ribs) has drawn another questionable tag on Friday for their contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The rookie has missed the last two games due to a rib contusion and could possibly miss a third. While he's been sidelined, Lonnie Walker IV joined the starting five alongside Quentin Grimes (shoulder) and Jared Butler. With Grimes also questionable, Walker and Butler could see a big bump in usage. In terms of scoring, Walker has been a bit better, as shown by his 24 points (7-17 FG) in their last game, but Butler has a bit more all-around potential. He averages 10.7 points, 4.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game in 26 games with the Sixers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (shoulder) received a questionable status ahead of Friday's tip-off with the Atlanta Hawks due to a shoulder sprain. Grimes has been a fantasy basketball hero in the playoffs, but the Sixers are actively trying to make sure they retain their first-round pick by finishing in the bottom six. That means they'll likely take the cautious route with Grimes, which makes Jeff Dowtin Jr., Jared Butler, and Lonnie Walker IV solid streaming options. Dowtin dropped 30 points, three assists, and four steals in their last game while Butler registered 13 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Walker even had 24 points, one assist, and one steal.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Friday. He will be re-evaluated in six weeks. The 2023 NBA MVP dealt with the injury for the entire 2024-25 campaign. Unfortunately, it limited him to only 19 games. In addition, Embiid wasn't productive, at least compared to previous season, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and a career-low 29.9% shooting from behind the arc. While his days of being the best player in the league could be over, he at least could remain in the conversation. But first Embiid will need to figure out how to stay healthy, something he hasn't been able to do since being selected as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) remains on the injury report but has been tagged as probable for the Friday night showdown with the Detroit Pistons. Currently, the Bucks are ahead in the season series after beating the Pistons twice, but their final two games are both against each other. That means Antetokounmpo and company will need all hands on deck to make sure they stay in the fifth seed. If, for some reason, Antetokounmpo doesn't end up playing, Bobby Portis would likely move into the starting five.
