Paul George DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The team has downgraded George from questionable to out, as the nine-time All-Star battles left groin soreness. Tyrese Maxey (back) also won't play on Thursday, so Philadelphia's offense should heavily revolve around Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes. The latter has put together a very impressive three-game stretch, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 steals, with 42.9 percent shooting from three-point range.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) was listed as questionable for Thursday's road game in Boston. He left Tuesday's game with groin soreness after playing 30 minutes. With Tyrese Maxey (back) out, George could have a big role if he's available, but he has battled this nagging injury for several weeks and it seems to be limiting his effectiveness. George is only averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.9 minutes per game over his 11 contests since returning from his last extended lay-off. The good news is that he wasn't already ruled out, meaning the injury may not be serious. Check back on his availability before tip-off.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) is available for Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He didn't suit up for the 119-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. As a result, Justin Edwards (ankle) entered the starting lineup and finished with 16 points and six rebounds. But Edwards won't suit up on Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey (back) also isn't available. With that in mind, George has an excellent chance to exceed expectations on the scoring end, so he's a must-start for fantasy managers. The same can be said for Quentin Grimes (bicep), Guerschon Yabusele (eye), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness), who are all good to go.
