Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) keeps receiving more and more bad news each week as he'll miss the team's upcoming road trip. According to the team, the former MVP will be re-evaluated in the next 7-to-10 days. While rehabbing his sprained foot, he experienced swelling in the same knee that needed surgery last season, so the Sixers didn't want to risk him coming back and hurting it again. Andre Drummond (toe) is finally listed as probable, so he should return to the starting lineup while Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is listed as questionable. They would both be the best streaming options until Embiid returns.

Philadelphia 76ers guardKyle Lowry(hip) won't play against the Knicks on Wednesday. Lowry will miss his sixth straight game as he is dealing with a hip issue. His next opportunity to return comes on Saturday against the Pacers. While Lowry is out,Reggie Jacksonwill continue to serve as the team's primary backup point guard, especially with the rest of the team stretched thin due to injuries toJoel Embiid(foot) andAndre Drummond(toe), who have been ruled out.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (ankle) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Knicks. He missed Tuesday's action against Oklahoma City due to an ankle problem, but George makes a quick return to the lineup after initially carrying a questionable tag before Wednesday's game. George has had his ups and downs as a Sixer, but he's recorded 25-point double-doubles in each of his last two outings. We also saw a double-double performance from George in this season's first clash with New York on Nov. 12.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hand) will play on Wednesday versus the Knicks. The 24-year-old didn't play in Tuesday's loss to OKC, allowing Reggie Jackson to start. However, Jeff Dowtin Jr. stole the show after ending the night with 18 points, five boards, two steals, and one block. With that said, Downtin's fantasy outlook isn't as bright with Maxey back in the equation. It will be even less favorable if Paul George (ankle) suits up.

Philadelphia 76ers centerAndre Drummond(toe) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Drummond is still dealing with a toe injury issue and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. The 31-year-old has been getting some on-court work in practice this week, and his next opportunity to suit up will be on Saturday versus the Pacers. Philadelphia will continue to have a depleted frontcourt with Joel Embiid(foot) also sidelined again for Wednesday, leaving Guerschon Yabusele as the primary option at center. Yasbusele posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and four assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 loss to the Thunder.
