Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers point guards Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Kyle Lowry (knee) won't play against the Pistons on Tuesday. The latter misses a second consecutive game, while Maxey will be sidelined after putting in a massive 54-minute shift in the last game against San Antonio. Cameron Payne looks set for his second consecutive start and will get a big boost from the backcourt absentees. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists as a member of the first unit in 2023-24.

Due to a left knee effusion, Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. Lowry sat out Sunday's meeting with the Spurs to rest. The 38-year-old has averaged 9.1 points and 4.0 assists in 28.4 minutes per game in his last seven outings. However, if he can't suit up, his absence should have little impact on DFS participants.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Pistons. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) sidelined for Sunday's double-overtime win over the Spurs, Maxey took advantage, finishing with a career-high 52 points. But with the Sixers a lock to at least make the Play-In, he might not be on the floor on Tuesday, especially with a 13-win opponent on tap. With that said, if Maxey sits this one out, Cameron Payne and Kyle Lowry (knee) could split time at the one, although neither player is a dependable DFS option.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Pistons. The 76ers are at least guaranteed a Play-In spot, so the reigning MVP could miss another contest. Truth be told, Philly doesn't really need him versus the 13-win Pistons. But if Embiid is ruled out, Paul Reed would continue to receive additional interest from DFS managers. In addition, Tyrese Maxey (hip), coming off a 52-point showing on Sunday in the win over the Spurs, would be a popular fantasy option for all DFS contests, assuming he plays, if Embiid misses another contest.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey had a career night with 52 points in Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime win against San Antonio. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) out of the lineup, Maxey took full charge of the offense and finished the game with a whopping 41 shot attempts. He had 19 makes with a 2-for-10 record from downtown. Across 54 minutes of playing time, Maxey also tallied five rebounds, seven assists, and two steals while committing only one turnover. The young Sixers star is now tied for most 50-point games in the league this season, with this having been his third such effort. Embiid will likely be back on Tuesday versus Detroit, but Maxey should have a very strong finish to the regular season as Philadelphia desperately tries to lock down a top-six seed in the East.
