Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In meeting with the Miami Heat. The reigning MVP reaggravated his left knee injury during Friday's win over Orlando and didn't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Brooklyn Nets. Mo Bamba got the start in that one, although Paul Reed was more productive, amassing a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double with two steals and two blocks. Embiid has practiced in the last few days, which is a good sign. However, DFS managers will anxiously await another update on his availability for the pivotal contest.

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. His absence has opened up more playing time for Dalen Terry in the rotation. He has put together some decent performances and would likely be asked to play more minutes if Drummond sits out. Terry would have some low-end DFS appeal if Drummond is unable to play.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was able to get through a full practice session on Tuesday. The big man is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Embiid sat out of the regular-season finale for precautionary reasons. It's hard to believe the reigning MVP wouldn't suit up for this important play-in game. If he sits, Mo Bamba would likely start with Paul Reed getting increased minutes off the bench. DFS players will have to check back on Wednesday for another update.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) practiced on Monday. The reigning MVP logged 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, finishing with 32 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and one block. However, he briefly exited the contest after tweaking his knee, although he returned to finish the game. Embiid wasn't available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Brooklyn Nets, so there is some concern about his health. Yet, head coach Nick Nurse indicated the 30-year-old was held out for precautionary reasons. With that said, it would be surprising if Embiid weren't available for Wednesday's Play-In battle with the Miami Heat. But if he can't suit up, Paul Reed would see a surge in interest from DFS managers.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) didn't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Brooklyn Nets. He tweaked his knee during Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, causing him to exit the contest briefly. Naturally, there remains apprehension regarding his availability for Wednesday's Play-In meeting with the Miami Heat. However, head coach Nick Nurse seemingly put any concern to rest by stating Embiid would "be ready to go." Of course, DFS managers won't be satisfied until he is listed as available on the injury report. But for now, everyone can plan on Embiid being on the floor versus Miami.
