Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (biceps) will play on Tuesday versus the Timberwolves. The 24-year-old has played well since his arrival in Philly, averaging a career-high 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.0 steals. He popped up on the injury report heading into Tuesday's game because of Biceps soreness. However, Grimes will be on the floor. With Tyrese Maxey (back) sidelined, the former Knick should have the ball in his hands more than usual, giving him a bump in usage. Maxey's absence could also allow Grimes to remain more involved on the offensive end.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play on Tuesday in Minnesota. The veteran wasn't available for Monday's loss to the Blazers due to an illness and was back on the injury report heading into Tuesday's game. But it appears he's feeling better. With Tyrese Maxey (back) unavailable, Oubre, along with Paul George (groin) and Quentin Grimes (biceps), should pick up most of the slack on the scoring end, so all of them could exceed their usual expectations.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is available for Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He didn't suit up for the 119-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. As a result, Justin Edwards (ankle) entered the starting lineup and finished with 16 points and six rebounds. But Edwards won't suit up on Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey (back) also isn't available. With that in mind, George has an excellent chance to exceed expectations on the scoring end, so he's a must-start for fantasy managers. The same can be said for Quentin Grimes (bicep), Guerschon Yabusele (eye), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness), who are all good to go.

Philadelphia 76ers forwardPaul George(groin) won't suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday due to soreness. With George ruled out for this game,Guerschon Yabuseleshould step into some more minutes whileJustin Edwardscould move into the starting five. In terms of consistency, Yabusele would serve as the better fantasy option with averages of 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 threes in 26.3 minutes across 55 games this season.

Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.comreports that Philadelphia 76ers forwardKelly Oubre Jr.(hand) won't suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Oubre will be out of action for the first game since January 4th due to an illness. On Tuesday, he could return in the second leg of the 76ers back-to-back set against Minnesota. With the 29-year-old out of the club's rotation, Ricky Council, Lonnie Walker and Justin Edwards will likely see expanded roles this evening.
