Jabari

Walker

Grimes is a late addition to the injury report, and that’s bad news for a Sixers team that will already be missing Kelly Oubre Jr., Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. MarJon Beauchamp and Justin Edwards should take on expanded roles, while Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford could see increased run, too.

Barlow sprained his left ankle during Saturday’s win over the Jazz and did not return. While Jabari Walker replaced him in the lineup in the immediate aftermath of the injury, Trendon Watford started the third quarter. Watford offers a higher upside in fantasy basketball, especially if he gets to start.

With Dominick Barlow spraining his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game, the 76ers had to call on Watford and Jabari Walker for more production. While Walker (8/5/3/1/1 in 18 minutes) was the immediate replacement for Barlow, Watford started the second half and would finish one rebound shy of a double-double. Add in the percentages and assists, and there’s some value to be had in deep leagues if Barlow has to miss time.

Barlow sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game, exiting after playing just four minutes. Jabari Walker has picked up a few minutes in his absence, but Trendon Watford was the choice to replace Barlow in the lineup to begin the third quarter.

Walker is good to go after missing Philadelphia’s last three games due to illness. He’ll provide additional depth off the bench, possibly resulting in fewer minutes for fellow reserve Trendon Watford.

Tuesday’s game will be the third that Walker has missed due to illness. Trendon Watford’s playing time has increased in recent games, but not to the point where he can be trusted in most fantasy leagues.

Walker will miss a second straight game due to illness, leaving the 76ers down a frontcourt option off the bench. Starter Dominick Barlow and reserve Trendon Watford take on added importance within the 76ers’ rotation.

Walker had 16 points in 18 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, but has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets with an illness. The 76ers are going to be severely shorthanded once again as Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Andre Drummond are all out again. With Adem Bona (back) still questionable, it’s reasonable to assume Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford will play more minutes than usual in this game.

Already without Joel Embiid and Adem Bona, the 76ers won’t have Drummond for Thursday’s game, either. Expect to see plenty of Jabari Walker, and he’s worth streaming despite the challenging matchup.

Joel Embiid (oblique) is also out, and Andre Drummond (back spasms) is questionable, so the 76ers will be very short-handed against a Pistons team with a talented frontcourt. If Drummond can’t play, the 76ers will likely turn to Dominick Barlow as more of a small-ball center with Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker playing more minutes.
