This will be George’s fourth missed game in a row. Collin Sexton will shift to point guard and see more opportunities as the primary playmaker for Utah with Svi Mykhailiuk entering the starting lineup.

Yabusele started Wednesday’s game for Joel Embiid, who was held out of the first of two games in as many nights for the 76ers. Yabusele offered minimal value against the Kings, with Domantas Sabonis being too much for him (and Andre Drummond) to handle. Embiid should be back for Thursday’s game against the Warriors, so there’s no need to hold onto Yabusele.

Lowry was Nick Nurse’s choice to start for the injured Kelly Oubre Jr., and the veteran point guard offered little fantasy value. This is unsurprising, as Lowry has long been of greater importance to his team than to fantasy basketball. There was no need to stream Lowry on Wednesday, and that will also be the case for Thursday’s game against the Warriors, regardless of Oubre’s availability.

Daniels saw increased usage with Jalen Johnson sidelined. Unfortunately, it didn’t translate to fantasy production as he struggled mightily with nine points on 17 shots. Daniels’ outside shooting was particularly poor as he made just 1-of-7 attempts from behind the 3-point line. He was much more effective from a playmaking perspective as he dished out six assists and had no turnovers. Daniels also chipped in with his typical defensive value as he had three steals.
