Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been deemed questionable for their Monday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The reigning MVP wasn't even on the injury report ahead of their matchup with the Denver Nuggets but was quickly ruled out with knee soreness right before tip-off. He remains questionable since then, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more updates after shootaround. If he's unable to suit up again, Paul Reed will move into the starting five again while Marcus Morris Sr. and Mo Bamba will split up the remaining minutes off of the bench.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (groin) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran has been managing a groin injury and carried the same designation before Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors. However, he was on the floor, ending the night with 21 points, two blocks, and a steal. George logged just 28 minutes, which will help his chances of being active versus the Celtics. But if he doesn't suit up, Russell Westbrook, Norman Powell, and Kawhi Leonard could benefit from a statistical perspective.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old is coming off a 22-point outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. However, he could miss Saturday's contest because of a sprained left ankle. With Tobias Harris (illness) also questionable, it's anyone's guess what the starting lineup will look like. But it's reasonable to assume Patrick Beverley would remain with the first five, keeping him in the streaming conversation. Of course, Joel Embiid would likely take on more of the scoring load if Maxey isn't in the equation.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran guard is in danger of missing his third game in a row due to right wrist soreness. The Suns reserve players haven't performed great during Gordon's absence. Josh Okogie has seen an increase in playing time, but he hasn't done much with it. Fantasy managers can probably find a better streaming option for Friday's slate.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said after Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Los Angeles Lakers that forward Paul George (groin) is dealing with a groin issue. Lue didn't mention anything about the wrap on George's knee. The Clippers start a seven-game East Coast road trip with a back-to-back set on Friday versus the Toronto Raptors and Saturday against the Boston Celtics, so there's a chance they could give George a maintenance day on one leg or the other for what sounds like a minor problem. PG-13 is netting first-round fantasy numbers in a mostly healthy campaign for the Clips, averaging 23.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.6 threes, and 1.6 steals after scoring 17 points on 8-for-12 shooting in 30 minutes during Tuesday's victory.
