Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers. The sinus fracture is nothing new. However, Embiid's left foot sprain could jeopardize his availability for Monday night. Andre Drummond (toe), who is questionable, is worth streaming if Embiid isn't out there, especially against a Portland squad that lacks on the defensive end. But if Drummond can't get out there either, Guerschon Yabusele, averaging 10.1 points and 6.7 boards in 10 starts, would be a logical replacement for all fantasy lineups. Yabusele would also see a surge in DFS popularity. Of course, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George could also be in line for more scoring opportunities without Embiid on the floor.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. This was an interesting turns of events considering Drummond started the day as probable, but now won't suit up for Saturday's game. Normally, Drummond's status wouldn't mean much, but starting center Joel Embiid (foot) remains uncertain for this game. If Embiid sits, Guerschon Yabusele would likely be asked to play heavy minutes. He has been a productive fantasy option lately and is worth a look as a streaming option with an expanded role.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's contest against Utah. Embiid can't seem to stay clear of injuries and even got hurt during the warm-ups ahead of Philadelphia's Christmas clash against Boston when he rolled his ankle. However, he came through 31 minutes of action on Wednesday and should have a decent chance of remaining in the lineup on Saturday. However, if Embiid needs to take time off again, Andre Drummond will likely get a spot start in a dream matchup. Only two teams have allowed more fantasy points to opposing centers this season than the Jazz.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not suit up for the team's Christmas Day matchup against Boston. He has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of tip-off. The 76ers have Joel Embiid available, so even if Drummond had been in the lineup, he would only have played a small role in the rotation. The veteran big man will get his first chance to return to action on Saturday against Utah. Guerschon Yabusele will take care of the backup minutes at the center position on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Eric Gordon (mouth) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with Boston. After undergoing oral surgery, Gordon will miss a second straight game. He was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Gordon, the 2017 Sixth Man of the Year, has played a limited role with the 76ers this season, averaging 5.0 points in 16.6 minutes. Therefore, his absence doesn't have a significant impact on how the team operates.
