MarJon

Beauchamp

Grimes had been on a hot streak as a starter before missing Monday’s game against OKC. If he remains out against Chicago, MarJon Beauchamp should get another starting nod. He scored an inefficient 13 points in Monday’s loss, but he may be more productive in a more favorable matchup.

The 76ers won’t have Quentin Grimes for Monday’s game, as he is out due to illness. Beauchamp moves into the starting lineup, and while the change gives him some deep-league upside, he is not worth the risk as a streamer. The other four starters are unchanged, with Barlow back after having to exit Saturday’s win over the Jazz with a sprained left ankle.

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.

This was an ugly loss for Philadelphia, but Beauchamp was able to have a decent night. This was his second-highest scoring performance of the season, though he didn’t contribute much else for fantasy managers. He signed a two-way deal with the 76ers in December and has only made a handful of appearances since then. Beauchamp should continue to have a role with the 76ers so shorthanded, but his impact will be limited.

Terry was not available for Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers. While his availability does not affect fantasy basketball, fellow two-way contract player MarJon Beauchamp has picked up a few additional minutes in Terry’s absence.

The 76ers’ many absences freed up opportunities for players who normally would not be guaranteed rotation minutes, including Beauchamp. Just over a month removed from scoring a then-season high 10 points, the former first-round pick surpassed that number in Detroit. Beauchamp’s night won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it could be a step toward him earning a standard contract somewhere for next season.

Grimes will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with an illness. On Monday, his absence led to more minutes for Justin Edwards and MarJon Beauchamp, with the latter making his 76ers debut. Neither player should be streamed here.

Grimes was unable to play in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, which led to more minutes for Justin Edwards. Also, MarJon Beauchamp played 20 minutes off the bench in his first game as a 76er. Neither he nor Edwards is worth the streaming risk if Grimes remains out.

Beauchamp played limited minutes for the Bucks over the first two years of his career before getting traded to the Clippers last season. He was waived shortly thereafter and finished the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way deal with New York. Beauchamp will compete for a roster spot with Portland, but even if he makes the final roster, he’s unlikely to make enough of an impact to be worth rostering in fantasy basketball leagues.

Beauchamp followed up his 25-point performance against the Nets on Tuesday with another strong outing tonight. The former first-round pick in 2022 is fighting for one of the Knicks’ two-way spots. With 53 points over his last two games, it’s safe to say he’s had a good audition.
