Jared McCain produced 15 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Magic.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.

According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is out for at least two weeks.Injured during the 76ers' November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined.

With Kelly Oubre Jr. also out, Edwards will make his second start of the season and first since October 28. Even with the promotion, he is not as valuable to fantasy managers as Quentin Grimes, who will again figure prominently in the bench rotation.
