Little impact off bench Tuesday
Despite the absences of both Kyle Lowry (hip) and Eric Gordon (knee), Jackson failed to make a notable impact from Philadelphia's bench. The veteran guard hasn't been able to carve out a significant role for the injury-riddled 76ers in 2024-25, with Jackson having averaged 4.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 threes in 14.2 minutes through his last seven games, so he can continue to be left on waiver wires in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Efficient 19 points in win
Despite the return of Joel Embiid (knee), Yabusele continued to play substantial minutes alongside the superstar big man in Philadelphia's starting frontcourt. Yabusele has proven to be quite serviceable to the 76ers, as he's averaged 16.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 threes in 31.4 minutes while shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc across his last eight outings (seven starts). The veteran big man could have a harder time maintaining this level of playing time as the team's roster begins to get healthier, but Yabusele remains worth streaming in most fantasy leagues while his role remains steady.

Continues to roll Tuesday
Maxey and the injury-plagued 76ers got some reinforcements with the return of Joel Embiid (knee), but a slight downtick in usage didn't prevent the star guard from delivering his 18th game of the season with at least 30 points along with his eighth double-double in 2024-25. Maxey has scored at least 28 points in nine consecutive outings, a stretch where he's averaged 34.1 points, 7.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 4.1 threes in 39.1 minutes. As long as Maxey is able to continually handle such heavy workloads, he should remain an elite fantasy option even when Philadelphia's roster gets back to full strength.

Dominant Tuesday, out Wednesday
Embiid returned to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous 15 outings due to his knee injury. While coach Nick Nurse said he would only play around 30 minutes, the former MVP logged a season-high 36 minutes in the narrow victory. Embiid's season-high 11 assists also helped him record his first triple-double of the year. However, Embiid will sit out the second leg of the 76ers' back-to-back Wednesday.

Back to bench Tuesday
After flirting with a triple-double in Sunday's loss to Boston, Council will revert back to Philadelphia's bench Wednesday in the return of Joel Embiid (knee). Over 36 games from the 76ers' second unit this season, Council has averaged 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 threes in 13.3 minutes, diminishing most of his fantasy value.
