Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is good to go for Tuesday's game versus Denver. The 34-year-old has spent plenty of time on the injury report this season. However, he's missed the last two games because of a groin injury. But now that George has been cleared, fantasy managers can get him back in their starting lineups. Unfortunately, George's return will likely result in Ricky Council IV heading back to the bench, significantly decreasing his fantasy value.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Denver. He may be out for a third consecutive game due to a knee issue. Joel Embiid (knee) will not be on the court, and Andre Drummond (toe) is also questionable, meaning Philadelphia might be forced to roll with an extremely shorthanded frontcourt against Nikola Jokic. Adem Bona and Pete Nance shared the minutes at center against Milwaukee on Sunday. They will play significant roles again versus the Nuggets if Yabusele and Drummond can't make it.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's matchup against Denver. His absence will stretch to a ninth consecutive game as Lowry continues to deal with a hip sprain. Starting point guard Tyrese Maxey has logged 40-plus minutes regularly with Lowry out, while Jeff Dowtin Jr.'s role has grown in the rotation. He has logged 21.3 minutes per game across the past four games, averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Lowry's next opportunity to return will come on Friday against Cleveland.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Paul George (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's game in Denver. The multi-time All-Star hasn't been the healthiest throughout the 2024-25 campaign, missing time for various reasons. However, his latest ailment, a groin strain, has recently kept him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous two contests. With Joel Embiid (knee) still on the shelf, Tyrese Maxey, who scored 37 points and shot 14-for-28 from the field on Sunday versus the Bucks, could continue to see an increase in fantasy production if George is also out of the equation. That would also apply to Ricky Council IV, who has averaged 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in three starts this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Nuggets. The toe injury has been bothering the 31-year-old, limiting him to just one appearance in the last eight games. With Joel Embiid (knee) still sidelined, Drummond may draw the start if he's healthy enough to get on the floor, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers. But with Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele (knee) both in danger of missing Tuesday's contest, Adem Bona, amassing 10 points, six boards, one block, and one steal as a starter in Sunday's loss to the Bucks, may be in line for another productive performance.
