Champagnie came out of the gate on fire, knocking down four three-pointers to finish the opening stanza with a game-high 15 points. He was relatively quiet over the final three quarters but still managed to break the 20-point barrier for the third time in his last four games. The 24-year-old guard is worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats based on his recent production but there’s some regression looming based on his track record since he’s in the midst of an insanely hot run from a shooting standpoint.

Isaac was added to the injured report Sunday morning as questionable with an illness. The 28-year-old power forward has averaged just 10.4 minutes per game this season, but could see some extra minutes with Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) out.

da Silva will return after missing Friday’s game against the 76ers with a back injury. The 24-year-old forward figures to be in the starting lineup with Jalen Suggs (knee) still out. He’s still not a priority in most fantasy leagues.

Carter was listed as questionable Sunday morning and subsequently ruled out with a hip injury. Goga Bitadze will fill in for Carter, though Mortiz Wagner will play in his season debut against the Pelicans.

Edwards was added to the injured report as questionable for right foot injury maintenance. He’s in danger of sitting this one out after dropping 25 points Saturday night. Bones Hyland and Mike Conley would see increased playing time if Edwards is ruled out.

Williams was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. It’s likely the 28-year-old center will return after leaving Friday’s win over the Rockets with right knee soreness. Williams will assume his role as one of the backup centers, but he isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues at this point.

Holiday was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. The 35-year-old point guard is now likely to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. Holiday is likely to be on a minutes restriction due to all the time he’s missed this season.

Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Raptors, snapping a six-game active streak for the 31-year-old center. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will handle the center duties in his absence. Drummond is worth streaming in most formats.

Isaac popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness on Sunday morning. He’ll have merely a few hours to recover before game-time against the Pelicans. Isaac missed a game last week with Noah Penda seeing additional minutes off the bench, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Carter was downgraded to questionable with a hip injury on Sunday morning. If the 26-year-old center is ultimately ruled out, Goga Bitadze would be the primary backup center while Moritz Wagner could also see minutes in what’s supposed to be his season debut.

Bey is set to miss his sixth game in a row with a right hip flexor strain. With Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson back in the starting lineup anyway, Bey will likely be looking at a bench role whenever he returns.
