Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.comreports that Philadelphia 76ers center, Joel Embiid(foot and face), won't play against the Suns on Monday due to dealing with a sprained left foot and a sinus fracture. While the 30-year-old is missing in action, fantasy managers could move toward Andre Drummond, as he is averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 14 starts during the 2024-25 season. Guerschon Yabusele will also likely to see an uptick in minutes on Monday with the big man out.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's missed the last three contests with a sprained left hand after hitting his hottest stretch of the season. In the 16 games leading up to his injury, Oubre averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 50.0% from the floor. Caleb Martin has joined the starting five in his place with mixed results so far, but can serve as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the visiting Suns. He's back on the injury report, although fantasy managers are used to it at this point. But Embiid has appeared in the Sixers' previous two contests, most recently amassing a 28-point, 12-rebound double-double in Saturday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Fantasy managers should be ready to pivot to Andre Drummond if Embiid doesn't suit up, with the 2012 No. 9 overall pick averaging a serviceable 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 14 starts during the 2024-25 campaign. Granted, Drummond isn't the scorer he once was. Still, category managers would benefit from his rebounding prowess.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is officially active and in the starting lineup for the Sixers' matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid has been able to play in four of Philly's last five games, averaging 31 PPG and 9.3 RPG. These averages are what fantasy managers are more accustomed to from the 30-year-old who's been dealing with injuries for much of the past calendar year. Embiid should be considered a must start in all fantasy formats, especially against a weak Brooklyn Nets team.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) has officially been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Oubre is dealing with a left hand sprain that's caused him to miss each of Philadelphia's last two games. The 29-year-old has been a decent fantasy option this year, posting up 12.8 PPG and 5.7 RPG. In his absence, expect Caleb Martin and Guerschon Yabusele to get extended run in Philly's lineup.
