Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard Quentin Grimes (illness) picked up a doubtful tag on Monday while dealing with an illness. Klay Thompson (foot) and Kyrie Irving (illness) are questionable for this game while Luka Doncic (wrist) has been ruled out. With what could be an extremely thin backcourt, there could be a few streamers for fantasy managers looking for guard stats. Jaden Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Naji Marshall would all see added minutes if anyone has to miss this game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will be out until at least next week. After playing in three consecutive games, Embiid was removed from the lineup on Friday against Brooklyn, and according to ESPN's Shams Charania, the former MVP will continue to sit on Sunday when Philadelphia faces the Clippers. Embiid is managing swelling in his left knee and is receiving treatment. Guerschon Yabusele drew the start on Friday after Andre Drummond had covered for Embiid on previous occasions this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid was a game-time decision coming into this one as he planned to test out his knee pre-game. It doesn't sound like it went well for Embiid as he'll take a seat on Friday. His absence should result in Andre Drummond moving into the starting five. Drummond has been a solid streaming option whenever Embiid is absent. Guerschon Yabusele could all see an increased role after scoring 17 points in his last game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is currently being considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid is currently dealing with a knee injury and is going to test it out pre-game before making a final decision. He didn't participate in shootaround on Friday after re-aggravating his knee during Wednesday's game. The absence of Embiid would mean more playing time for Andre Drummond. The veteran center has been a viable fantasy option whenever Embiid is sidelined. He'll be worth a look if Embiid is unable to play.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was a late addition to the injury report ahead of their Friday night game against the Brooklyn Nets. The former MVP is listed as questionable due to left knee injury management. Usually, injury management is the reason he misses back-to-back games, but the team hasn't played since Wednesday and their next game after this one is on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for any updates leading up to the 7:00 PM game time. If he's unable to play, Andre Drummond will start again with Guerschon Yabusele getting big minutes too.
