Dominick Barlow

PHI Forward #25

Dominick Barlow (back) and Tacko Fall (quad) are out for Thursday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Neither Barlow nor Fall played in Tuesday’s win over the Knicks, and both may be looking at extended absences. Barlow’s injury is more impactful, as he will play rotation minutes once healthy. Adem Bona served as the backup center on Tuesday, but he played only 10 minutes, which isn’t enough to affect fantasy basketball.
Dean Wade

PHI Forward-Center #45

Dean Wade (ankle) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Wade went through an individual workout ahead of Tuesday’s win over the Knicks but was deemed unfit to play. If he can play against his former team on Thursday, that would likely drop Jabari Walker out of the rotation entirely, with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope likely playing less after logging 26 minutes in the opener.
Anfernee Simons

PHI Guard #5

Anfernee Simons provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), two rebounds and three three-pointers against the Knicks on Tuesday.

In his debut for his new squad, Simons was able to provide exactly what they were hoping he could when they brought him in: instant offense off the bench. He was questionable with a hamstring injury, but it didn’t seem to bother him. Simons may not have enough volume to be a strong option in fantasy basketball this season, but he’ll be an excellent role player for them and may have some streaming value as an injury replacement starter at times.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid stuffed the stat sheet on Tuesday with 13 points (4-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals, three blocks and two three-pointers against the Knicks.

Despite not having much success with his shot, Embiid was still able to make a monster impact in this game. He recorded a double-double, was effective as a playmaker, and still contribute some defensive stats. There are plenty of questions about how Embiid will hold up this season, but when he’s on the floor, he’s still one of the most dynamic players in the league. He should be much better as a scorer moving forward as well.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 28 points (9-of-19 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, three blocks and two three-pointers in a 106-100 win over the Knicks on Tuesday.

Even with all the roster changes, this is still going to be Maxey’s team. While spoiling the Knicks’ ring night, he was assertive on both ends of the floor and truly stuffed the stat sheet. Having more playmaking and scoring threats around him will only make things easier on him, and it’s clear he’s not going to have to sacrifice much volume. Those who took Maxey at the end of the first round in fantasy drafts may end up reaping some major rewards.
Jaylen Brown

PHI Guard-Forward #7

Jaylen Brown made his 76ers debut on Tuesday and contributed 19 points (7-of-14 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Knicks.

Brown’s first game as a Sixer highlighted both the good and bad of what he could provide this season. The volume that he had in Boston, especially last season, simply wasn’t there, but he was more efficient than he has been throughout his career. Perhaps more defensive contributions, like we saw in this game, could be another bonus due to less responsibility on offense. The sample size is too small to draw any real conclusions other than Brown was productive in his debut.
LeBron James

PHI Forward #23

LeBron James posted a solid line on Tuesday with 14 points (5-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block against the Knicks.

Year 24 for LeBron started off well. He wasn’t explosive as a scorer, but he isn’t expected to be for this team. Facilitating and staying fresh for the playoffs will be LeBron’s priority. Still, he was involved on offense, and if he made a few more shots, he shot enough that he would’ve been over 20 points. LeBron should once again be a productive fantasy player this season and could end up paying off at his early fourth-round ADP.
Anfernee Simons

PHI Guard #5

Anfernee Simons (hamstring) is available to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Simons will be good to make his 76ers debut off the bench in this game. He will likely play a significant reserve role this year and provide plenty of offense when the starters are getting a breather, though it may not be enough minutes for him to produce standard-league value.
Adem Bona

PHI Forward #30

Adem Bona (foot) is available to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Bona was initially listed as questionable for this game, but he has been cleared to suit up for the season opener. He will fill out the backup center minutes behind Joel Embiid, which may end up being a significant reserve role.
Dean Wade

PHI Forward-Center #45

Dean Wade (ankle) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Wade has been managing an ankle injury that will keep him out of the lineup for the season opener. Justin Edwards and Jabari Walker may be tasked with playing extra minutes off the bench, but neither will play a significant role.
