Myles Turner struggled with his shot on Sunday, going 1-of-6 from the field for nine points, five rebounds, one assist, one 3-pointer, one steal and one block over 29 minutes.
It wasn't a great game from Turner, but at least he finished 6-of-6 at the stripe and didn't commit a single turnover while he was out there. He also pushed his block streak to 36 tonight, which is the longest active streak in the NBA, and he's just one game with a swat away from tying his personal best record of 37. We'd anticipate him to smash past that number this season.
Seth Curry went just 1-of-4 from distance (3-of-9 FG, 2-of-2 FT) on Sunday for nine points, one assist, one steal and one turnover in 25 minutes.
Curry has been struggling from beyond the arc since he returned from quarantine, connecting on just 31.8% of his long-balls, to go with averages of 9.8 points, 1.2 triples, 1.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, which has him ranking well outside the top-150. He should turn things around soon enough, but it's unlikely he'll be that top-40 player that we saw through the first handful of games of his 2020-21 campaign.
Cole Anthony hit 5-of-10 shots, 1-of-3 3-pointers, and 5-of-6 free throws for 16 points, six assists, and five rebounds with two turnovers in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
The expectations are high for the Magic's lone true point guard, and he's playing pretty well. On Sunday, he approached triple-double numbers and sunk a shot from long-range. If Anthony's left on waivers, he's worth picking up as he's guaranteed to play major minutes every night. He's logged 30 or more in the last six games.
Shake Milton went 4-of-9 from the floor and 1-of-1 from the stripe for nine points in 19 minutes off the bench on Sunday.
Milton added one rebound, two assists and one turnover while he was out there, so this was quite the disappointing stat line for him with Joel Embiid (back) watching from the sidelines tonight. He had a great run while the 76ers were missing a ton of players due to health and safety protocols, but with most of the main guys back, he hasn't been getting enough usage or minutes to impact standard leagues. He's not necessarily a hold.
Matisse Thybulle ripped away four steals in 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's win over the Pacers, adding eight points, one rebound, one assist, one 3-pointer and two blocks.
The 76ers have one of the best defenses in the league this season with their 106.7 defensive rating, and Thybulle has certainly played a role helping Philly maintain that impressive defensive rating. “He’s just a hell of a defender,” Sixers coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s got his legs under him now. He knows what we expect of him, and he’s been terrific.” There’s no denying that Thybulle is an elite defender, but he doesn’t average enough minutes in Philly while the main guys are healthy to make a meaningful impact in most fantasy leagues.
Furkan Korkmaz came off the bench for 17 points, three 3-pointers, three rebounds, two assists and one turnovers across 23 minutes on Sunday.
Korkmaz was feeling it tonight, finishing 6-of-12 from the floor and 2-of-2 from the stripe, but this was his first double-digit scoring outing since the season-opener, and he saw a lot more opportunity with Joel Embiid (back) unavailable. He can't be considered a viable target in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
Doug McDermott (back) saw 21 minutes off the bench on Sunday and finished with eight points (4-of-6 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block in a loss to the 76ers.
When McDermott isn't scoring in double-digits with multiple triples, he's not really doing much for you in fantasy hoops. His inconsistency partnered with a lack of peripheral stats is why he's not rostered in most leagues.
Aaron Gordon hit 4-of-8 shots, 2-of-5 3-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws for 14 points, three assists, five rebounds, one steal, and one turnover in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Gordon exited the game on Sunday after rolling his ankle on Stanley Johnson’s foot in the third quarter. It swelled quickly, and he was seen on crutches. Gordon was also evaluated for a hyperextended knee earlier in the game after he and Kyle Lowry got chippy on a box-out. Keep an eye out for updates on Gordon, but there’s a good chance he misses time with this injury.
Nikola Vucevic hit just 5-of-18 shots, 2-of-6 3-pointers, and 3-of-3 free throws for 15 points, four assists, 14 rebounds, two steals, and one block with three turnovers in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Vucevic passed Scott Skiles for No. 8 in free throws attempted in a Magic jersey, but he won't be happy with his performance on Sunday. He shot poorly from the field for the second game in a row (9-of-31 over his last two games). He’s slumping and the Magic are losing. "It's very frustrating when you try and try and not a lot of good comes out of it," he said on Friday. "We're just not very good right now."
Terence Davis hit 5-of-11 shots and 2-of-5 3-pointers for 12 points, four rebounds, and one steal with no turnovers in a win over the Magic on Sunday.
Davis got the start again on Sunday in place of OG Anunoby and played OK. In 26 minutes, he connected on two triples. He still isn’t ranked in the top-200 of 9-cat leagues, though, and shouldn’t be relied on in fantasy.
Tony Bradley didn't do much through 17 minutes as a starter on Sunday, finishing with just two points, four rebounds, two assists and nothing else in a win over the Pacers.
This was Bradley’s first start of the season, but it was Dwight Howard who had the more impressive stat line sans Joel Embiid (back). Howard finished with 11 points (3-of-6 FG, 5-of-12 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and two turnovers in 25 minutes off the bench, but both Howard and Bradley will return to irrelevancy once Joel Embiid (back) returns — which could come as soon as Wednesday.
DeAndre’ Bembry hit 4-of-6 shots, 1-of-1 3-pointers, and 3-of-4 free throws for 12 points, two assists, two rebounds, and one block with no turnovers in a win over the Magic on Sunday.
With OG Anunoby and Norman Powell sidelined, Bembry logged 21 minutes. He was a contributor, scoring a season-high 12 points, and sunk one 3-pointer. He'll hold his most value with two Raptors out, but still doesn’t provide enough to roster, though.
Fred VanVleet hit 4-of-12 shots and 1-of-7 3-pointers for nine points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and four turnovers in a win over the Magic on Sunday
VanVleet didn’t shoot well and made just one 3-point shot, but he did add a steal to his nine points and five assists. This wasn’t his finest night, including four turnovers, but managers have to be pleased with his top-22 value thus far.
Tobias Harris produced 27 points, eight rebounds, two 3-pointers, one block and three turnovers across 31 minutes in Sunday's 119-110 win over the Pacers.
Harris was the main man on offense today with Joel Embiid (back) watching from the sidelines, scoring 15 points on 11 shots through the first half of action and he finished 10-of-19 from the field and 5-of-5 from the stripe. It was a solid bounce-back performance from Harris after he went just 6-of-17 from the field on Friday, and the 76ers are now riding a three-game win streak and have won six of their past seven games.
Cameron Payne (right foot) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.
It'll be his fourth straight game on the sidelines, which will allow Jevon Carter to see the backup PG minutes. Neither of these guys are worth your attention.
Gary Harris (left adductor strain) will not return to Sunday's game vs the Jazz.
Harris went to the locker room in the first half with the team trainer after suffering a non-contact injury. He will likely get an MRI within the coming day or so at which point we'll know more about the severity of Harris' injury.
Trae Young (knee) is considered probable to play on Monday vs the Lakers.
The Hawks last game was on Friday so with two days rest before tomorrow's contest vs LA, it's safe to assume that he will be good to go. Besides, the way Young has been playing over the past handful of games, it's hard to imagine he wouldn't want to get on the court against LeBron James and Anthony Davis in what should be a fun one.
Andre Iguodala (neck spasms) is probable vs. the Hornets on Monday.
Iguodala played on Saturday and scored one point with six boards and six assists in 26 minutes. We didn't hear about a setback, so presumably he'll be ready to go in his usual reserve role.
Doug McDermott (lower back contusion) is available to play on Sunday vs the Sixers.
McBuckets will suit up vs Philly and doesn't appear to be on a minutes restriction. He left Friday's game after 17 minutes due to back pain and had 11 points and six boards in that time. But if you're deciding between him and Jeremy Lamb, the latter is healthy playing really well since his return.
Doc Rivers said that Tony Bradley will 'most likely' start vs the Pacers on Sunday, although no final decision has been made just yet.
The last time Embiid missed a game, Dwight Howard started but Bradley replaced him in the second half and Rivers said that he regrets not having started from the jump. “I just like Dwight with the second group,” Rivers said. “I was kicking myself because I wanted to do that and then, because Tony hasn’t played a lot, I didn’t do it to start the game, and I really thought we should’ve done it to start the game. I’ll fault myself on that.” If you're looking to stream one of the Sixers' backup bigs, Bradley is the move, although he will have his hands full vs Myles Turner who's the NBA's best shot blocker this season.
