Ricky

Council IV

Grimes is back in the mix for the shorthanded 76ers and will bump Ricky Council IV to the bench.

With Quentin Grimes joining Philadelphia’s lengthy list of inactive players, Council moves into the starting lineup. He’s worth slotting into lineups in active fantasy leagues due to Philadelphia’s lack of options. Walker will also have added value due to the need for his scoring.

Yabusele will be back after missing the 76ers’ last two games, and he should immediately return to the starting unit. Ricky Council IV has been starting in place of Yabusele but may be pushed back to the bench with Yabusele back in the lineup.

Yabusele is dealing with a sore right knee that kept him out of Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. He has a legitimate chance to be out again given his questionable listing. If that’s the case, Adem Bona and Ricky Council IV will see additional minutes. Both are worth streaming for different reasons with Bona providing rebounds and defensive stats while Council has the higher offensive ceiling.

Yabusele has a sore right knee and will not play on Tuesday. His absence means the 76ers will roll out an NBA-record 52nd different starting lineup this season. Adem Bona and Ricky Council IV will play more, with the former being worthy of a look for managers needing rebounds and defensive stats. Council possesses the higher offensive ceiling.

Yabusele was absent from the injury report on Monday, so his appearance back on the report Tuesday puts his status against the Knicks in doubt. If Yabusele is forced to miss a second-straight game, Adem Bona and Ricky Council IV could see bumps in playing time.

Council IV filled in for the injured Guerschon Yabusele, and he made the most of his opportunity with a game-high rebound total. Philadelphia was missing 10 players, and the team is likely to be quite shorthanded for the final seven games of the season. Council IV could see additional starts for the season’s final contests.

The 76ers are without Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Walker and Council will fill the resulting voids, and both players are worth streaming in deep leagues. Also, Butler should play plenty since Jeff Dowtin Jr. is inactive.

Philadelphia will be without 10 players as they do their best to tank for the final stretch of the season. Adem Bona should see heavy frontcourt minutes, with Ricky Council IV likely taking on a larger role as well.

Yabusele is in danger of missing Sunday’s game and has been playing as Philly’s starting center as of late. Yabusele started alongside Adem Bona in the frontcourt his last outing, though. Ricky Council IV could get a spot with Bona if Yabusele is ruled out.
