Outlook Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid vs Raptors — Questionable With Foot Injury as Usage Opens Up

Embiid is listed as questionable with a right foot plantar fascia injury after limping to the locker room Tuesday, though he remains in the projected starting lineup. Managers should verify his status before tipoff. With LeBron James ruled out, extra offensive usage is available if Embiid suits up, giving him a chance to snap a six-game slump in which he has shot just 32.0% from the field.

If active, our projection expects a bounce-back performance of 41.9 fantasy points, led by 25 points and eight rebounds. Hosting a 5-6 Raptors squad as comfortable home favorites gives Philadelphia a solid scoring environment before closing out a light three-game week against Indiana on Sunday.

Outlook VJ Edgecombe

VJ Edgecombe vs. Raptors — Backcourt Usage Bump With LeBron Sidelined

Edgecombe is healthy and slated to start at shooting guard alongside Tyrese Maxey tonight, though lineups remain unconfirmed. With LeBron James out due to a back issue and Joel Embiid questionable with a foot injury, Philadelphia's backcourt could see added usage. Universally rostered, Edgecombe has elevated his efficiency and scoring over his last seven games while playing roughly 34 minutes a night.

Our projection expects Edgecombe to post 30.4 fantasy points behind 15 points and six rebounds against Toronto. Hosting a 5-6 Raptors squad as 7.5-point home favorites in a game with a 225.5 over/under gives the 9-3 Sixers a strong scoring environment. Tonight is the second game of Philadelphia's light three-game week, leaving just one matchup left on Sunday.
