Porter’s playing time has been limited when available, with Ty Jerome claiming the backup point guard job. Porter’s potential availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

McCain’s production took a hit in their last game due to his move to the bench, but he got back on track in this one. It is a head scratcher that Nick Nurse moved him out of the starting lineup at all, but he showed in this game that he can still be a productive player in a reserve role. He played 29 minutes in their last game and played 22 in this one, so even though he isn’t starting the minutes should continue to be there. McCain just needs to continue to play like he did in this one.

George has really struggled during his first year with the 76ers, but this was one of his best performances so far this season. He tied his season-high for scoring in this game to help Philly get their first win streak of the year. Availability has once again been an issue for PG, and with this being the first night of a back-to-back, don’t be surprised if he sits out against the Magic on Wednesday. They’ll play Orlando once again on Friday, which isn’t an easy defense for George to repeat this performance again. Still, hopefully this can kickstart a strong stretch of production for him.

Gordon is back in the starting lineup after returning from a strained calf on Sunday. Peyton Watson will come off the bench in a lineup change that decreases his fantasy value. Denver’s other four starters are unchanged.

Mitchell’s seven assists were countered by just one turnover, and there could be more point guard responsibilities for him soon. Darius Garland exited Tuesday’s game with an apparent head injury, and he’s had such issues in the past. If Garland misses time, Mitchell becomes a player of even greater importance, with Caris LeVert’s streaming value increasing. LeVert finished Tuesday’s win with 10 points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes.

Mobley didn’t finish Tuesday’s victory with an elite stat line, but that tends to be the case when games get out of hand. He still finished with his 10th double-double of the season (fourth in five games) and recorded two blocked shots. Mobley is ranked just outside the top 25 in 9-cat per-game value for the season, exceeding his Yahoo ADP (38).
