Jared McCain

Oubre has been out since November 14, recovering from a sprained LCL in his left knee. At the time, it was announced that he would be out for at least two weeks, but the timeline will be closer to four at a minimum. In addition to next week's evaluation, there will likely be a ramp-up period for Oubre once he's cleared for contact. His absence has enhanced the fantasy values of Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain, with the former having moved into the starting lineup.

Tyrese Maxey scored 22 points, Jared McCain had 20 off the bench and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets 115-103 on Friday night in an NBA Cup game.

One game removed from scoring a season-high 15 points against the Heat, McCain matched that number on Tuesday. It wasn't enough to help the 76ers remain competitive, but it was another step in the right direction for the second-year guard. Quentin Grimes (eight points, three rebounds and four assists), who made another start for the injured Kelly Oubre Jr., shot 1-of-9 from the field on Tuesday. He remains a superior fantasy option to McCain, but Jared's recent production should not be overlooked.

McCain's minutes restrictions have been raised ahead of Sunday's game against the Heat, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
