Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Knicks. He's dealing with an illness and might be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Grimes has fallen sick at a bad time because he had just earned himself a larger role in the rotation, taking over Luka Doncic's (wrist) spot in the starting lineup. Grimes has contributed 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in the first unit this season. Jaden Hardy will be in line for his second start of the campaign if Grimes isn't available against his former team. The expectations for Hardy will be high following his 23-point, three-steal effort in Monday's 129-119 victory over Atlanta.

According to Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers, Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a right hip strain. Lowry did not practice on Tuesday and will likely be evaluated sometime this week. With the 38-year-old veteran unavailable, Jared McCain, Reggie Jackson, and Eric Gordon will continue to have more prominent roles in the rotation. Jared McCain is expected to be the best fantasy option among these three players.

Per NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will be unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Houston Rockets due to a knee bone bruise. George partially participated in practice, which means he will likely return soon. He could return on Saturday versus the Pistons. With George still sidelined, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon will likely see their roles increase.

According to NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Embiid missed Tuesday's practice after missing two consecutive contests. The 76ers continue to be cautious with Embiid's left knee. He has played in just four games this season, and his next chance to suit up will be on Saturday against the Pistons. While the franchise center is sidelined, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will likely continue to see an uptick in minutes.

Dallas Mavericks guard Quentin Grimes (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. As expected, Grimes has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his second game of the season. The Mavs are already shorthanded with Klay Thompson (foot) and Luke Doncic (wrist) also sidelined. That means, Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie are expected to see significant playing time. Between the two, Dinwiddie has been the more consistent fantasy option this season.
