Reggie

Jackson

Jackson was waived hours after the Wizards acquired him from Philadelphia. This allows him to join a team with playoff ambitions, but it will not impact fantasy basketball.

This deal is more about swapping picks than players, and The Athletic’s Josh Robbins has reported that Washington will likely reroute Jackson before the deadline. If that doesn’t happen, he’ll likely be waived. One way or another, Jackson isn’t expected to remain in Washington.

Lowry returned to action at the end of last month after missing a stretch in the middle of January. The veteran point guard’s availability will impact how much of the floor Reggie Jackson sees.

Maxey will be back after a one-game absence, which means that Reggie Jackson and Jeff Dowtin won’t be worth streaming. Maxey will be asked to do a lot with Joel Embiid out again, and Paul George (ankle) is still questionable.

Maxey and George are questionable again after sitting against the Thunder. Reggie Jackson and Ricky Council IV could be in to start in a second consecutive game if the two stars are ruled out again.

With Tyrese Maxey (hand) ruled out, Jackson made his first start of the season on Tuesday. It didn’t go well, as Jackson provided minimal value playing against the team that selected him in the 2011 NBA Draft. Jeff Dowtin outplayed Jackson despite coming off the bench, and there’s no reason to consider rostering either player moving forward. The 76ers host the Knicks on Wednesday in a nationally televised game; it would be unsurprising if Maxey played.

With Tyrese Maxey and Paul George sidelined, Jackson and Council IV will fill out the starting spots. This is a skeleton crew for the injury-riddled 76ers, but they will likely have some help for the second night of this back-to-back when they take on the Knicks.

Maxey will not play on Tuesday, missing a game for the first time since November 18. With Joel Embiid also out, Paul George will shoulder a heavy workload offensively. Also, Reggie Jackson may move into the starting lineup, making him worth a look in deep leagues out of necessity.

Maxey has not missed a game since mid-November, and he has been Philadelphia’s most reliable star regarding availability. With Kyle Lowry already out, the 76ers would likely turn to Reggie Jackson if Maxey cannot play. While the circumstances would give him streaming value, Jackson would not be a must-add.

Lowry missed two games with right hip soreness but is now on the injury report with a right hip strain. There’s no set return date and Reggie Jackson appears poised to take on a larger workload in the meantime.
