Dominick Barlow - Game-time call for Friday Barlow is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow picked up a back injury during Wednesday's game, but his X-rays returned negative. It's promising news that he's been deemed questionable for Friday, though his availability will likely depend on how he fares during shootaround and warmups.

Paul George - Should play Friday George is probable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact This isn't much of a surprise, as George was also listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Cavs. He's played in two consecutive games for the Sixers and should be on track for a third if all goes well leading up to Friday's clash.

Joel Embiid - Tagged as probable for Friday Embiid is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Embiid is back on the injury report after also being considered probable leading up to Wednesday's matchup. If all goes according to plan, he should be good to go Friday.

Dominick Barlow - Opts out of MRI Head coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that the 76ers opted out of imaging for Barlow (back), who is feeling better, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow played just eight minutes Wednesday against Cleveland before leaving the game for good. Not requiring an MRI is encouraging news for Barlow's return, but he should still be deemed questionable in Friday's rematch with the Cavaliers. If Barlow ends up missing time, expect Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford to see additional playing time for the forseeable future.

76ers vs. Cavaliers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 16

Tyrese Maxey - Struggles in loss Wednesday Maxey ended with 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Maxey couldn't get anything going on the offensive end, turning in one of his poorer performances thus far this season. While it was a rough night, Maxey can certainly be forgiven, based on the body of work he has produced through the first 37 games. In that time, he has averaged 30.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 3.7 three-pointers and 2.7 combined steals and blocks, establishing himself as an elite fantasy asset across all formats.

Andre Drummond - Grabs nine boards Drummond ended Wednesday's 133-107 loss to Cleveland with seven points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and nine rebounds across 12 minutes.

Impact Drummond pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, although he was limited to just 12 minutes off the bench. With Joel Embiid relatively healthy at the moment, Drummond's role has reduced significantly. He has played in just 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming option, if and when Embiid misses time.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Quentin Grimes - Modest production continues Grimes provided eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Grimes continues to struggle, having scored single digits in three of the past four games. Inconsistent minutes have subsequently impacted his ability to build any momentum on the offensive end, limiting his overall fantasy appeal. Over his past four games, Grimes has averaged just 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him outside the top 200 in standard leagues.

Dominick Barlow - X-Rays negative; headed for MRI Head coach Nick Nurse said that Barlow's (back) X-Rays came back negative, but he'll get an MRI on Thursday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Barlow went down hard on a drive to the hoop during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs and did not return, and while X-Rays came back negative, he's not out of the woods just yet. We'll have a better idea on the extent of Barlow's back injury after his MRI results are released, but for now, he should be considered doubtful for Friday's rematch with Cleveland. If Barlow needs to miss time, Andre Drummond, Kelly Oubre and Trendon Watford will help pick up the slack.

Dominick Barlow - Won't return Wednesday Barlow has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a back contusion, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow took a hard fall earlier in the game and required assistance to make it back to the locker room. He's been deemed unable to return with what the 76ers are calling a back contusion. Barlow's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Cavaliers. In the meantime, look for Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker to pick up the slack.
