Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (ankle) is now out for Sunday's matchup with the Bucks. He was initially listed as probable on Saturday, so things must have taken a turn in the wrong direction since then. The 23-year-old has averaged 7.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and shot 44.4% from behind the arc in February, his best stretch this season. However, it still hasn't been enough to make him a reliable fantasy contributor. At any rate, Martin's absence could at least allow Ricky Council IV to receive a few more minutes of action, although he's not worth adding to any fantasy roster.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (conditioning) will not play in the second half of the team's back-to-back as part of his back-to-competition reconditioning. The veteran point guard made his presence felt during his Philly debut on Thursday as the team looked a lot more organized while he was on the floor. With a familiar coach in Nick Nurse, Lowry will likely flourish in a leadership role for this team, but that's not always going to translate to fantasy value. He's supposed to be Tyrese Maxey's backup and now that De'Anthony Melton is returning, there will be fewer minutes to go around in the backcourt. While he's out, Melton and Payne will likely see some more opportunities.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry is available to make his team debut on Thursday against the New York Knicks. Off the court since mid-January, Lowry will suit up on Thursday and provide the Sixers with some much-needed depth. Considering the 37-year-old floor general's role is unclear in his Philly debut, Lowry is not a recommended fantasy option in both DFS and season-long settings against a Knicks group giving up the third-fewest points per game (109.9).

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Warriors will convert the contract of guard Lester Quinones to a standard deal. The two-way player has appeared in 19 games for Golden State this season. He got off to a slow start. Yet, Quinones is beginning to get a consistent role in the rotation and has averaged 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in his nine games in February. While he still has a way to go before earning a spot on most fantasy rosters, there could be streaming opportunities somewhere down the line.

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, point guard Kyle Lowry had several options available to him after being bought out by Charlotte, but he chose to link up with his hometown team because the veteran sees the Sixers as the best fit for him. Having Nurse as the coach could have been one of the biggest factors in Lowry's decision to move to Philadelphia, as the two won the NBA championship together in Toronto five years ago. Lowry will be backing up first-year All-Star Tyrese Maxey at his new club. "He gives us another ball handler, backup point guard, whatever," Nurse said of Lowry. "Second point guard, whatever you want to say with that. You got some three-point shooting, and you got some very good defensive knowledge, especially team defense, schematically and stuff like that."
