Cameron Payne

Already without VJ Edgecombe, the 76ers won't have Tyrese Maxey for at least the next two games. The All-Star guard has been replaced in the lineup by Payne, who's worth streaming in deep leagues. However, Grimes should be the priority add for fantasy managers.

Maxey sprained a finger on his right late in Saturday's loss to the Hawks. While a fracture was ruled out, the All-Star point guard will miss at least the first two games of Philadelphia's five-game week. The hope is that Maxey won't be out for much longer than that. Cameron Payne is likely to serve as the starting point guard, and he's worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

The good news is that Maxey has been diagnosed with a sprained finger on his right hand, ruling out a fracture following his injury late in Saturday's loss to the Hawks. His absence on Monday and Tuesday likely means Cameron Payne will move into the starting lineup. While erratic, the opportunity makes Payne a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues.

Edgecombe exited early on Tuesday after injuring his back on the final play before halftime, and it will keep him sidelined against Utah. Cameron Payne started the second half in his place and could be in line to start against Utah.

Payne signed with the 76ers during the All-Star break and immediately slotted in as a reserve ball handler. That didn't lead to much production in the box score prior to this game. He scored in double figures for the first time this season and started the second half following VJ Edgecombe's early departure with a back injury after a hard fall. Payne could get the starting nod if Edgecombe remains out against the 76ers on Wednesday, which would make him an intriguing streaming option on a day with just six games.
