Kelly Oubre Jr. scored seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3P) with five rebounds, an assist, and two steals in the 76ers 117-111 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Oubre started off the season strong but has cracked into double-digit points just once in his last seven games. He's best left on waivers for better streaming options.

Jared McCain scored 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3P, 5-5 FT) with two rebounds and five assists in the 76ers 117-111 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: McCain was second on the team in scoring behind only Joel Embiid's 35 points. The rookie out of Duke has been a great addition to a struggling Sixers team, but it will be interesting to see how involved he is once Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George are up to speed.

Fantasy Impact: George suffered the injury early in the third quarter and did not return. Kelly Oubre would likely see more opportunity if George misses an extended period of time.

Tyrese Maxey is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Fantasy Impact: Maxey is set to return from an extended absence. It will be his first time playing with both Joel Embiid and Paul George this season.

Kyle Lowry is expected to be sidelined for at least the next three games. (Source: Tony Jones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lowry suffered the injury during Monday's game against the Heat. Jared McCain should see more minutes alongside Tyrese Maxey if he is able to play on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid scored 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3P) with eight rebounds, five assists, and a block in the 76ers 106-89 loss to the Heat on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Embiid was originally doubtful with an illness coming into this game, but he toughed it out and played through it. No doubt that it affected his performance. It's been a rough go for Embiid managers to start the year, as he's only played in three games so far and in those games, he hasn't nearly been his old self. Keep him locked into lineups though as he will round into form sooner or later.

Caleb Martin scored 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3P) with five rebounds, two steals, and a block in the 76ers' 106-89 loss to the Heat on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Martin's revenge game against Miami likely didn't go how he wanted it to, but he still shot well from the field all things considered. The 76ers are a broken team at this point, and he will suffer some for it like the rest of his teammates. He's still a low-end start in fantasy leagues, but that's about it.

Guerschon Yabusele scored 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds in the 76ers 107-105 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Yabusele continues to take advantage of his limited role off the bench for the 76ers. He remains off the fantasy radar for now.

Eric Gordon scored just two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3PT) and grabbed one rebound in Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fantasy Impact: Gordon had a bad season debut on Wednesday. He scored just two points over the course of 22 minutes played, and he failed to contribute heavily in other areas of the game. He remains off of the fantasy radar for the foreseeable future.
