VJ Edgecombe tallied 10 points (4-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Warriors.Edgecombe wasn't the most impactful scorer on Thursday, but he did make the game's biggest shot. His putback of a Tyrese Maxey fadeaway with nine-tenths of a second remaining gave Philadelphia the 99-98 victory, with the 76ers avoiding losing a game they led by at least 20 points after one quarter for the first time in franchise history. Despite averaging just 8.7 points per game, Edgecombe has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. His production in the rebound, assist and steal categories has been a factor, as it was against the Warriors.

Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Thursday's game against the Warriors.Embiid, who was sidelined for injury management reasons, will be available to play against the Warriors. Given the time missed and the fact that both knees have been problematic, his minutes will be restricted. That said, Embiid doesn't need to log 33-35 minutes to provide solid fantasy value. Andre Drummond has a lower fantasy ceiling than he does when starting, but managers should hold onto him because of Embiid's injury history.

Adem Bona, who played 22 minutes on Sunday, will figure prominently in the rotation despite coming off the bench. Joining Drummond in the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Dominick Barlow.
