Marcus

Bagley

Hood-Schifino is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Wizards. His return likely means fewer minutes for Marcus Bagley and Phillip Wheeler, who both played rotation minutes on Wednesday. Hood-Schifino has not provided consistent production, but he’ll get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance in deep leagues.

JHS has played well in Philadelphia when compared to his time with the Lakers and Jazz. The former first-round pick should see a significant reserve role if he is available, with Jared Butler, Marcus Bagley and Phillip Wheeler taking on extra minutes if JHS is out.

Due to a concussion and a head injury, Walker has missed six of Philadelphia’s last seven games. A sprained neck will sideline him for Wednesday’s game against the Wizards, leaving the 76ers light on players on the wing. Ricky Council IV and recent signing Marcus Bagley will play increased minutes, with the former in the starting lineup. Council is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Not selected in the 2023 NBA Draft, Bagley has spent the past two seasons with the 76ers’ G League affiliate. Averaging 11.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, the small forward has earned a 10-day contract with the 76ers. Bagley’s addition to the 76ers’ roster is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball.

Bagley, the younger brother of Pistons big Marvin Bagley III, spent parts of the last three seasons at Arizona State before turning pro. However, he only appeared in 17 games, averaging 10.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Look for Bagley to spend most (if not all) of his time with the 76ers’ G League affiliate in Delaware. With Bagley’s addition pushing Philadelphia to 21 players on its training camp roster, an Exhibit 10 contract recipient will likely be waived to make room for new signing Kelly Oubre.
