Despite George and Embiid's bodies responding well after Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, they will not play against the undefeated Cavaliers. They're expected to play on Friday, and George will not be under any restrictions regarding playing time. That's good news for managers who have him rostered, while Embiid managers will have to wait a little longer for his restrictions to be removed.
Drummond was a late addition to the injury report, even on the second night of a back-to-back. With Joel Embiid also out, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona will be their options down low against Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, though the latter is still listed as questionable.
This is the second night of a back-to-back, which means that Joel Embiid has already been ruled out. Drummond will start if he plays, but if he isn't able to suit up, they'll match up against a giant frontcourt without their top two centers. Adem Bona may be forced to take on a significant role, but he hasn't really been of the team's rotation this season. Guerschon Yabusele is another option as an undersized big man.
No surprises here, as both players will sit out the second half of Philly's Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back set. Availability for back-to-backs should be a major concern for both players until further notice. With Tyrese Maxey out of action, Jared McCain figures to get the biggest boost in fantasy value.
Neither Embiid nor Paul George is expected to suit up against the unbeaten Cavs on Wednesday night
