Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jalen Suggs (knee) is out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Wizards.

Suggs was listed as doubtful on Monday, so his absence isn’t a shock. Tyus Jones and Anthony Black will see increased run, though Black is the preferred add for fantasy managers.

Collin Sexton

CHA Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Collin Sexton provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-7 FGs), four assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Magic on Thursday.

Sexton has been a consistent source of offense off the bench for the Hornets this season, but that hasn’t led to much production for fantasy managers. However, he was incredibly efficient in this game, which led to his highest field goal percentage in a game this year. Sexton hasn’t been worth rostering in standard leagues this season, and that won’t change just because of one solid performance. Unless he’s starting consistently, he should be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues.

LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball started on Thursday and finished with 16 points (6-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and four three-pointers against the Magic on Thursday.

Ball got off to a hot start for Charlotte, scoring eight of their first 11 points and assisting on the other three. He didn’t stay that hot, but he was back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Wednesday. He logged 28 minutes after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The limited minutes may get frustrating during these back-to-backs, but Ball has been able to stay healthy for about the past month, which can only be seen as a positive.

Noah Penda

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Noah Penda stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 13 points (5-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Hornets.

Penda had a quiet two-game stretch after a short stint as a temporary starter, but he was able to showcase his upside once again in this game. He has been able to make a big impact on defense, and he has been a better shooter than anticipated. He was able to take on a larger role with Franz Wagner (ankle) sidelined, but when Wagner is available, Penda simply won’t play enough to be worth rostering. However, he holds plenty of upside in dynasty formats.

Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün amassed 13 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the 76ers.

Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George (knee) finished Thursday’s win over the Rockets with 10 points (4-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.

While George’s points tally in his first game back after missing two for left knee injury maintenance, fantasy managers should focus more on the workload. He played 37 of a possible 53 minutes in the overtime victory, which is definitely a positive. And George came up with some big plays in crunch time, knocking down a three-pointer for the first points of overtime and blocking an Alperen Şengün layup attempt that would have tied the game with 1:16 remaining in the extra session.

Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey tallied 36 points (15-of-28 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Rockets.

Maxey has now scored at least 30 points in 20 of the 41 games he’s played this season. And on Thursday, he was at his best when the 76ers needed him most, shooting 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter and overtime. Maxey’s double-double was his fifth of the season and first since New Year’s Day. The 76ers will end Week 14 with a Saturday afternoon matinee against the Knicks.

Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9

Kelly Oubre Jr. amassed 26 points (10-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Rockets.

Paul George’s return after a two-game absence did not result in Oubre moving to the bench, as both were in the starting lineup. And Oubre had one of his best games of the season, knocking down four three-pointers and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. At a minimum, those who are already rostering him should hold onto the Tsunami Papi.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid finished Thursday’s win over the Rockets with 32 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.

Thursday’s version of Embiid may have been the closest that 76ers fans and fantasy managers have gotten to his “vintage” self this season. The 7-footer recorded his first triple-double of the season, and that included a few key assists to Tyrese Maxey during the overtime period. Embiid has stayed relatively healthy over the past month, and if that continues, he could wind up being one of the steals of the 2025-26 fantasy season.
