Philadelphia 76ers

The NBA has fined Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. $50K each for "verbally abusing and directing an obscene gesture toward game officials." The incident occurred at the conclusion of Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Clippers after the referees missed a foul call on Kawhi Leonard on Oubre's layup attempt at the buzzer. Although this has no effect on his fantasy value, Oubre is returning top-60 numbers in points leagues during the last month of play. The 28-year-old swingman is averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers over his last 13 games, but Oubre will have to deal with a Cleveland Cavaliers defense on Friday that ranks second in the Eastern Conference in efficiency rating (109.0).

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is probable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. The 28-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game since early January, so his continued health has been a breath of fresh air for this team that has endured tons of injuries and missed games from their main rotation. Martin will likely receive north of 25 minutes in this contest since Tyler Herro (foot), Josh Richardson (shoulder), and Duncan Robinson (facet) all remain sidelined. Martin could garner some DFS attention in a game that's likely to be a blowout too.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) might return before the end of the regular season. Wojnarowski stated that it's not a matter of "if" but "when," while adding the team hopes to get him back with at least a few games left before the postseason begins. The 30-year-old averaged a career-high 35.3 points with 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.8 blocks before going down with a knee injury at the end of January. Of course, it could take him a few games to get back up to speed. However, Embiid's presence will immediately mean less work for Mo Bamba and Paul Reed, who have seen an uptick in production while the reigning MVP has been sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Los Angeles Clippers. He didn't play in Monday's loss to Sacramento because of shoulder soreness. As a result, Nicolas Batum slid into the starting lineup. However, Batum was held scoreless, so he'll be hard to trust from a fantasy standpoint if Oubre misses another contest. Instead, Buddy Hield, who also had a rough showing, has a much higher fantasy upside.

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 10, as the team considers him questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Warriors. Martin has been a frequent guest on the injury report and is currently dealing with right ankle discomfort, but he's had an impressive ironman streak of 34 consecutive appearances. The 28-year-old leads the Heat bench mob on a nightly basis, averaging 10.8 points and 4.7 rebounds for the month. Patty Mills and Haywood Highsmith are in line to benefit from Martin's absence, although Miami's second unit might struggle on Tuesday because the Warriors allow the sixth-fewest bench points in the league.
