Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Sixers visiting the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Maxey was always going to have a tough time suiting up due to a concussion with such a quick turnaround. The All-Star guard hopes to pass concussion protocol in time for Friday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. Since Kyle Lowry (rest) will catch a breather on the second night of Philly's back-to-back, Cameron Payne will get all the run he can handle at point guard as a chalky DFS value play against the injury-plagued Grizzlies, despite a woeful 212-point implied total.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (head) will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Experiencing concussion-like symptoms, Maxey has returned to Philadelphia to be further evaluated. He collided with a teammate in Sunday's victory over the Dallas Mavericks and was examined by attending physicians before being cleared to return to the game. The 23-year-old All-Star has tried to keep Philly afloat in the standings amid Joel Embiid's (knee) absence, and across Maxey's last nine games, he's putting up 28.0 points, 5.9 assists, 2.9 threes, and 1.0 steals in 38.7 minutes per contest. A short turnaround on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies is on deck for Maxey, so he's up against it to be cleared for that one. Kyle Lowry is averaging 8.0 points, 5.8 dimes, 1.2 triples, and 1.0 steals in 27.8 minutes over five games (two starts) for the Sixers and should direct the offense against Brooklyn.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's clash with Miami. He's been dealing with a right knee issue for a bit but was able to play in four consecutive contests before missing Sunday's matchup against Orlando. Grimes has started life in Motown as a member of the second unit, averaging 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 19.8 minutes. Marcus Sasser, Evan Fournier, and Simone Fontecchio are the first guys off the bench for Detroit and get a chance to grab a few extra minutes without Grimes. However, things might not come very easy for them on Tuesday, as Miami is one of the stingiest teams against opposing benches -- only four teams have allowed fewer points per game to second units.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gordon continues to be sidelined due to a lingering groin issue. He will be joined by Nassir Little (knee) during Saturday's game. The absence of Gordon should mean more playing time for Royce O'Neale. He'll be bounced to the second unit with Bradley Beal back in the picture. O'Neale won't be as appealing off the bench, but should still have some streaming value in deep leagues.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Oubre has a chance of returning to the court after sitting out on Friday due to right shoulder soreness. Kyle Lowry moved into the starting five with Oubre unavailable. Lowry played well with 15 points, six rebounds, and 10 assists in 36 minutes of action. He could be worth a look as a streaming option if Oubre is forced to miss another game.
