Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Knicks. Head coach Nick Nurse is "hopeful" the 24-year-old will play on Wednesday, and he'll work out ahead of the contest to determine if he can go. But Joel Embiid (foot) is already ruled out, and Paul George (ankle) is questionable, so the team could be short-handed once again. If Maxey doesn't suit up, Reggie Jackson could draw another start. However, Jeff Dowtin Jr. should be the streaming option of choice for fantasy managers, especially after he had 18 points, five boards, two steals, and one block on Tuesday versus OKC.

Philadelphia 76ers forwardPaul George(ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. George was initially regarded as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Thunder. However, he was eventually a late scratch before tip-off. With Tyrese Maxey(hand) also listed as questionable and Joel Embiid(foot) set to be sidelined again, George would see plenty of action if he can suit up on Wednesday.
