KJ Martin

PHI Small Forward #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

KJ Martin accumulated 19 points (7-of-8 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes in Saturday’s win over Detroit.

Already playing without Joel Embiid, the 76ers lost Andre Drummond during the first quarter with a sprained right ankle. His exit and Philadelphia’s lack of frontcourt options meant more playing time for Martin, who started the third quarter. He finished with his best stat line of the season and will be worth streaming if Embiid remains sidelined and Drummond misses time. Another name to be mindful of in deep leagues is Ricky Council IV, who logged 26 minutes and finished with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Point Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey shot 11-of-24 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over Detroit, amassing 28 points, four rebounds, six assists, two steals, and five 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

One game removed from scoring 39 points in an overtime loss to the Rockets, Maxey put up 28 more on Saturday. And while Paul George didn’t have the best night in his first game back from a knee injury, his presence helped open things up for the 76ers guard. If Philadelphia can achieve some semblance of good health for an extended period, Maxey’s efficiency should improve.
Jared McCain

PHI Point Guard #20

Jared McCain shot 3-of-7 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s 111-96 win over Detroit, finishing with seven points, four rebounds, and one assist in 28 minutes.

In a move that was a bit surprising, McCain was moved to the bench in favor of Paul George while Kelly Oubre Jr. (14/6/1/2/1 with two 3-pointers in 31 minutes) remained in the starting lineup. The good news for fantasy managers who have the rookie rostered is that he still played 28 minutes. The negative was the production, with McCain scoring just seven points. Stay patient with him, especially considering the 76ers’ injury woes this season.
Paul George

PHI Small Forward #8

Paul George (left knee hyperextension) finished Saturday’s win over Detroit with 11 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes.

Saturday’s game was George’s first since November 20, so it’s unsurprising that his minutes weren’t what they usually are. The nature of the contest also conspired to get him a little more time on the bench, as the 76ers took a 20-point lead into the fourth quarter. Philadelphia plays four games during the first portion of Week 7, but it includes a back-to-back. We’ll see if that limits George to three games or if he’s made available for both legs of the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back.
Andre Drummond

PHI Center #5

Andre Drummond (right ankle sprain) will not return to Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Drummond injured his ankle when he landed on the foot of a Pistons player while attempting to corral a rebound. After heading to the locker room for further treatment, he’s been ruled out for the rest of the night. Guerschon Yabusele’s importance to the 76ers increases, while Adem Bona and KJ Martin will play more minutes off the bench. Yabusele is the player to target if Drummond misses time and Joel Embiid (knee) remains sidelined.
Paul George

PHI Small Forward #8

Paul George (left knee bone bruise) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

George has been cleared to play after fully participating in Friday’s practice. Surprisingly, Jared McCain is the player headed to the bench in favor of George. Managers who have the rookie rostered should not drop him, as the 76ers still need McCain’s scoring. Completing the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Guerschon Yabusele, and Andre Drummond.
Caleb Martin

PHI Small Forward #16

Caleb Martin (upper back soreness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Martin will miss a second consecutive game, which should result in more rotation minutes for Ricky Council IV. How much Council potentially plays depends on Paul George (knee), who is a game-time decision for Saturday night.
Reggie Jackson

PHI Point Guard #00

Reggie Jackson (right knee soreness) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Jackson’s absence will not impact the 76ers or fantasy basketball, as he has not played consistent rotation minutes.
Reggie Jackson

PHI Point Guard #00

Reggie Jackson (right knee soreness) is now questionable to play against the Pistons on Saturday.

Jackson is a late addition to the injury report, but he hasn’t played a significant role this year. His potential absence will not have an impact on the team’s rotation.
Caleb Martin

PHI Small Forward #16

Caleb Martin (upper back soreness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Martin is on track to return after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets. His availability impacts multiple players, including Ricky Council IV, who played 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night.
