Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will miss Monday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Embiid was a late scratch for Saturday's showdown against the Denver Nuggets due to soreness in his left knee and will sit out Monday's first part of Philly's back-to-back. The NBA's scoring leader (36.0 points per game) sets his sights toward returning for Tuesday's outing against the Golden State Warriors. After going off for a 30-point, 13-rebound double-double on Saturday, Paul Reed remains a streaming option for multiple fantasy categories. Reed is averaging 12.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 11 games without Embiid this season.
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.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning MVP logged 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, scoring 36 points and draining all 11 attempts from the charity stripe. But he's dealing with left knee soreness, so there's a good chance he won't suit up versus the nine-win Hornets. Of course, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Tobias Harris should absorb most of the scoring opportunities without Embiid in the lineup. However, Paul Reed, averaging 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals this season in games without Embiid, is worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is not seen on the team's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. After returning to play for 31 minutes on Monday after a three-game absence due to swelling in his left knee, Embiid is ready to go for this interconference showdown against Denver. With Nikola Jokic (hip) and the rest of the Nuggets' stars all expected to be out there as well, Tuesday's marquee matchup between two championship contenders certainly carries plenty of anticipation. The 29-year-old reigning MVP is leading the NBA with 34.9 points per game and has registered a whopping 17 consecutive showings with at least 30 points, shooting 55.6% from the floor with 1.2 triples and 3.4 combined steals and blocks per game since Nov. 17. Embiid is safe to deploy in all season-long fantasy leagues.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday against Denver after he returned to action on Monday. The reigning MVP crushed the Rockets with a 41-point, 10-rebound performance in 31 minutes. Embiid had missed three games with a left knee issue. However, it looks like he's fully recovered now, with Philadelphia ready to use him in a back-to-back situation. Hopefully, we also get to see Nikola Jokic (hip) on the court. The Nuggets star is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's big encounter.
