Nicolas Batum's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) won't feature against Miami on Wednesday, missing a ninth consecutive game. The French veteran is trying to recover from a hamstring strain but still needs more time to heal. However, the good news for the Sixers and him is the fact that the team will be off until Feb. 22 following Wednesday's action, which will give Batum a lot of time to get ready for the next game. With Tobias Harris (hip) also out of the lineup, Kenyon Martin Jr. moved to the starting unit on Monday versus Cleveland. Philadelphia's injuries have also boosted the playing time of Ricky Council IV.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) will not play in Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A strained left hamstring will cause an eighth straight absence for Batum, but head coach Nick Nurse said before Friday's defeat to the Atlanta Hawks that the veteran forward has a "decent chance" to return prior to the All-Star break. The Sixers host the Miami Heat on Wednesday, which is their final outing before the break. Philly's rotation remains incredibly thin, so Buddy Hield will be needed for heavy minutes in their starting group, and he's logged at least 20 points, four treys, six assists, and 36 minutes in each of his first two games with his new team since arriving at last Thursday's trade deadline. Cleveland ranks first against opposing swingmen, per DraftKings scoring, but Hield's volume makes him a must-start in all season-long fantasy setups.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is set to miss his sixth consecutive game after the team already ruled him out for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran forward has gone through multiple stints on the sidelines so far this season, and his absence is felt more than ever with four players already out and the two newcomers not ready to make their debut. After trading away five players for two in return, the 76ers are going to be very thin in this game. Kenyon Martin Jr., Kelly Oubre Jr., and Ricky Council IV will all see added minutes. Each one of them presents a high-risk streaming situation though, so fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere unless they're in a pinch.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) continues to deal with a left hamstring strain that will keep him out of at least one more game. The team has already ruled him out on Monday for their game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 35-year-old's absence has been felt as the team's defense and ability to spread the ball around on offense have both suffered in the past few games. Batum, along with Joel Embiid (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (back), will be three of the five starters to watch from the sidelines while Tobias Harris (illness) could join them. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been in the starting lineup in his place, and could serve as a solid streaming option in deeper leagues.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) sits on the injury report as questionable for Saturday's clash with the Nets. The veteran is bothered by hamstring tightness and could be out for a third consecutive game. From a statistical point of view, the absence of Batum isn't big news, but he's been a regular starter ever since arriving in Philadelphia and does well all the little things that don't show on the box score. Danuel House Jr. has stepped into the starting five during Batum's absence. He has struggled to make his mark and isn't a good option for fantasy managers.
