Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) will now miss his second consecutive game on Sunday after getting ruled out later in the evening. Gordon has been seeing starter-level minutes this season since the Suns have dealt with so many injuries to their starting five. Whether he's starting or coming off of the bench, Gordon has been a consistent fantasy asset in scoring numbers. Since he's ruled out against the Memphis Grizzlies, however, Josh Okogie should pick up the open minutes. Okogie hasn't been great this year whether he's received added opportunities or not, so fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere for a backup option.
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies. The veteran has played relatively well during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.6 points and shooting 40.9% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he missed Friday's win over Miami because of a sore right knee. Nevertheless, there's a chance for Gordon to remain more involved offensively if Kevin Durant sits out his fourth straight game because of a strained hamstring. But if Gordon and Durant aren't available, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Grayson Allen should lead the way on the scoring end.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is now listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP injured his knee in Saturday's loss to the New York Knicks, so it was surprising when he began the day without an injury designation. Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Embiid is a game-time decision. However, there's a good chance he'll join Tobias Harris (ankle) on the shelf for the meeting with the 16-20 Jazz. If that's the case, Paul Reed and Mo Bamba are the favorites to split time in the middle and are worth considering for streaming purposes.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP had another impressive outing in the loss to the Knicks on Friday and extended his 30-point or more scoring streak to 16 straight games. However, he suffered a knee injury during the contest, which gave him trouble at times. At any rate, the 76ers shouldn't have any problem taking down the Jazz, so it's possible Embiid won't see a full workload. Still, he remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) finished with 30 points, 10 boards, and three blocks in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks. The reigning MVP extended his 30-point scoring streak to 16 games. Unfortunately, he suffered a left knee injury, although he finished the game. Embiid downplayed the ailment while speaking to the media after the contest. However, fantasy managers are used to this type of scenario from him over the years, so there's a good chance he may not play in Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. With Tobias Harris (ankle) also in danger of missing that one, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. could be the primary scoring options versus Utah. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba could also fill the void in the middle if Embiid misses time, with both men warranting streaming consideration in deeper fantasy setups, even if it's just for a game or two.
