Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard Quentin Grimes (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Grimes is dealing with back spasms that will force him to miss just his third game this season. Grimes has been a decent contributor off the bench for Dallas, averaging 10.2 PPG and 4.0 RPG. With Dallas very short on depth at the guard position, expect Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie to get extended minutes beyond their normal starter minutes today with both Jaden Hardy and Grimes unavailable off the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Yabusele will miss both games of the back-to-back set due to swelling in his right knee. The Sixers are going to be shorthanded once again with Joel Embiid (foot) also sidelined on Sunday. Adem Bona will likely see an increased role with Andre Drummond (toe) also out. Bona will be worth a look for Sunday's slate after a 12-point outing during his last game.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. George will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to groin tightness. The absence of George should mean increased roles for Ricky Council IV, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Eric Gordon. Oubre is already worth starting in most fantasy formats, but Council is also worth a look after an 18-point outing on Saturday. Tyrese Maxey should be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense with George and Joel Embiid (foot) both out.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Sunday versus the Bucks. The veteran missed six games before returning for Saturday's loss to the Pacers, finishing with eight points and three rebounds. However, Drummond will now take the night off for the second game of a back-to-back. With Joel Embiid (knee) out, Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will likely start if he's cleared to play. But if Yabusele isn't out there either, Paul George (groin), who is questionable, and Adem Bona could find themselves splitting time in the middle.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The veteran is dealing with right-knee swelling ahead of the game. It was reported by Keith Pompey that Yabusele, along with Paul George, Kyle Lowry and KJ Martin, didn't practice for the Sixers on Friday. Appearing in all 39 games for the 76ers so far, Yabusele has averaged 10.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. In games where Yabusele has played, the 76ers average 107.2 points per game, compared to 121 points when he is absent.
