Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) won't play on Tuesday against the Mavericks. The 34-year-old has been banged up all season for various reasons. However, he's missed the last four games because of a strained left finger. Joel Embiid (knee), Andre Drummond (toe), Eric Gordon (knee), and Caleb Martin (hip) are all questionable, so Tyrese Maxey, coming off a 34-point outing in Sunday's loss to Boston, may be tasked with taking on more of the scoring load once again. Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Council IV, and Guerschon Yabusele may also be in line for added production, depending on who is ruled out.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. Embiid hasn't been on the court in a month, most recently suiting up for the January 4 game against the Brooklyn Nets. While there's still a chance he'll miss another contest, it seems he's moving in a favorable direction, so fantasy managers may have him back sometime soon. With Andre Drummond (toe) questionable, Guerschon Yabusele may draw the start once again. Yabusele has been on a roll of late, amassing 49 points and 13 rebounds in the last two games.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Eric Gordon (knee) won't play against the Celtics. Gordon had been getting some action as a starter of late. But the 76ers now have even more holes to fill in the lineup, with Paul George (finger), Caleb Martin (hip), Andre Drummond (toe), and Joel Embiid (knee) all on the shelf. Of course, Tyrese Maxey should remain the top option for the 76ers. But Guerschon Yabusele, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Ricky Council IV should see more scoring opportunities, increasing each of their fantasy potential.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Sunday versus Boston. At this point, most fantasy managers just assume he won't be out there. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) still out, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to start. The 29-year-old has averaged 11.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23 starts this season, so he has a place in most fantasy lineups. Adem Bona will also stay in the equation, although he's not a reliable fantasy contributor.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) has been ruled out for the matchup with the Denver Nuggets while he nurses an extensor tendon injury in his left pinky. The veteran doesn't have a firm timetable for his return, so Kelly Oubre Jr. and Justin Edwards will continue to take over his role in the starting lineup. Edwards is more likely to be available in a broader range of leagues and averages 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.6 threes per game over his last 10 appearances. Oubre is the more consistent streaming option, but Edwards could be a sleeper waiver addition in deeper leagues.
