Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Quentin Grimes accounted for 18 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

After shooting 1-of-5 from the field and scoring two points in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, Grimes received another opportunity to impress on Wednesday. He took advantage of the opportunity, shooting 7-of-8 from two in his 31 minutes. Grimes missed all four of his three-point attempts, but the overall output was solid. Whether he gets another start when the 76ers face the Hawks on Saturday depends on the availability of VJ Edgecombe (back) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness), who did not play against Utah.
Jabari Walker

PHI Forward #33

Jabari Walker amassed 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

There’s no such thing as “garbage time” when you’re looking to earn more opportunities. Walker made the most of his minutes in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Spurs, scoring 20 points and earning rotation minutes on Wednesday. The 76ers forward put up an efficient 22 points and recorded a double-double against the Jazz, making some personal history. This is the first time in Walker’s NBA career that he’s scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. The 76ers don’t play again until Saturday in Atlanta, so some of the absent players could be available. If not, don’t be surprised if head coach Nick Nurse gives Walker another opportunity. He’s earned it.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey finished Wednesday’s win over the Jazz with 25 points (8-of-22 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers.

After putting up an inefficient 33 points in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Spurs, Maxey didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball against the Jazz, either. Given the players who were unavailable for the 76ers, it’s unsurprising that Maxey would struggle because of the attention he’s received defensively. The good news for fantasy managers was that he recorded a complete stat line, including three blocks. The three rejections matched his season-high, which he recorded on two other occasions.
Trendon Watford

PHI Guard-Forward #12

Tyrese Maxey, Quentin Grimes, Trendon Watford, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona will start Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

The 76ers won’t have VJ Edgecombe (back) or Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) for Wednesday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Grimes will remain with the first five after filling in for Oubre on Tuesday, and Watford will make a spot start. The league announced Andre Drummond as a starter, but it will be Bona who starts at the five.
Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9

Kelly Oubre (illness) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Wednesday.

This will be a second straight absence for Oubre, which means Quentin Grimes should start once again. He struggled mightily in Tuesday’s blowout loss and was held to just two points, but he should get the opportunity to bounce back against Utah.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe (back) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Wednesday.

Edgecombe exited early on Tuesday after injuring his back on the final play before halftime, and it will keep him sidelined against Utah. Cameron Payne started the second half in his place and could be in line to start against Utah.
Jabari Walker

PHI Forward #33

Jabari Walker provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (7-of-10 FGs), six rebounds and two three-pointers against the Spurs on Tuesday.

There aren’t typically bright spots in a 40-point loss, but Walker was able to have a solid night off the bench. He earned a two-year contract over the All-Star break after playing well to start the year on a two-way deal. This was a new season high for scoring for him, though managers shouldn’t expect this type of production to come consistently.
Cameron Payne

PHI Guard #20

Cameron Payne started the second half on Tuesday and contributed 10 points (4-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers against the Spurs

Payne signed with the 76ers during the All-Star break and immediately slotted in as a reserve ball handler. That didn’t lead to much production in the box score prior to this game. He scored in double figures for the first time this season and started the second half following VJ Edgecombe’s early departure with a back injury after a hard fall. Payne could get the starting nod if Edgecombe remains out against the 76ers on Wednesday, which would make him an intriguing streaming option on a day with just six games.
Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5

Quentin Grimes started on Tuesday and contributed two points (1-of-5 FGs), two rebounds, one assist and one steal against the Spurs.

With Kelly Oubre (illness) sidelined, Grimes got the starting nod for the first time since December. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to take advantage. Grimes has slowed down after a strong start to the season, and this would have been a good opportunity for him to provide value. If Oubre remains out against the Jazz on Wednesday, Grimes should perform better in a more favorable matchup.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe (back) will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Edgecombe is dealing with lower back soreness, forcing an early end to his evening. The rookie played 20 minutes, finishing with six points (2-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocked shots. Cam Payne entered the lineup to begin the third quarter.
