Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has played in 14 straight games, but that streak will come to an end on Wednesday against the Wizards since he was listed as out due to left groin tightness. George played 38 minutes on Monday in the Sixers' loss to the Suns and finished with 13 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. He and Joel Embiid (foot) will both be sidelined, leaving plenty of work for Tyrese Maxey in a smash spot against the Wizards. When George missed time earlier this season, Kelly Oubre and Caleb Martin were more involved, but both were already in the starting five on Monday. Eric Gordon and Ricky Council IV could get more work in George's place on Wednesday, but Maxey will have to step in and carry most of the offense, which he has proven he can do regularly so far this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) could be returning to a big role on Wednesday against the Wizards since fellow center Joel Embiid (foot) was listed as out. Drummond has started 14 games this season, averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 24.2 minutes in those contests. He'll be an interesting option for DFS and streaming if he does get the start in place of Embiid, but if he misses another game with his sprained toe, Guerschon Yabusele could be set for a second straight start. On Monday in the Sixers' 10-point loss, Yabusele played 36 minutes with Drummond and Embiid both out and racked up 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Wizards have been a very favorable matchup for centers, so either Drummond or Yabusele will have a good ceiling on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will miss a second straight game on Wednesday after he was listed on the team's injury report as out for the home game against the Wizards due to a left-foot sprain. Embiid has been limited to only 13 games this season but has played in nine of the team's last 13 contests. He had back-to-back 28-point double-doubles in his last two games but sat out the team's 109-99 loss to the Suns on Monday. Andre Drummond (toe) also missed Monday's game, and Guerschon Yabusele got the start and had 14 points, 10 rebounds, a block, and an assist while playing 36 minutes. Yabusele could be lined up for a big role once again if Drummond is also out, but the big man was initially listed as questionable. With Paul George (groin) joining Embiid on the sideline, most of the Sixers' offense will have to come from Tyrese Maxey in a very favorable matchup against the Wizards.

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss Monday's matchup with the Suns. The 76ers have a depleted frontcourt going into the contest with Joel Embiid(foot/nose) also out. Guerschon Yabusele will be able to take on extra minutes, which will make him a decent streaming option this evening. He posted three points, six rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes in his last outing on Saturday against the Nets.

According to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com, Philadelphia 76ers guardKyle Lowry(hip) won't play against the Suns on Monday due to a hip injury. His next chance to suit up will come versus the Wizards on Wednesday. With the 38-year-old sidelined, the 76ers' backcourt could see a shift, with Tyrese Maxey potentially taking on a more minutes. Meanwhile, Reggie Jackson, Eric Gordon,and Caleb Martin will be provided plenty of opportunities to put up points.
