Dominick Barlow

While the 76ers welcome back Embiid, they'll be without Tyrese Maxey, as he is out with an illness. Grimes moves into the starting lineup, with the move also meaning that Edgecombe will have the ball in his hands more as a primary playmaker. Both players now boast higher fantasy ceilings.

Embiid and George are good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. While the latter's availability does not necessitate a change to the lineup, since he played in Friday's win over the Bucks, Embiid's return means Andre Drummond will come off the bench. Also of note, Edgecombe's minutes restriction should be lifted soon, but it probably won't happen on Sunday.

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.

Drummond is good to go for Tuesday's game, but he was limited to six minutes off the bench in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Hawks. 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.

George practiced on Wednesday and is considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Nets. If he can play, Dominick Barlow is the player most likely headed to the bench. And with Trendon Watford (adductor) out for at least two weeks, the 76ers could really use an infusion of depth at the forward positions.
