Paul George - Struggles with shot Friday George provided 15 points (5-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 109-102 loss to Chicago.

Impact George needed 15 shots to record 15 points, and, like Tyrese Maxey, he also struggled from inside the arc, going 1-for-6 on two-pointers. The veteran forward has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last six appearances. Even though he remains a player capable of filling out the stat sheet on any given game, George is no longer the stat-filling machine he used to be during the prime of his career. Between injuries and inconsistencies, he's simply the third-best option for the 76ers right now behind Maxey and a healthy Joel Embiid.

Joel Embiid - Puts up 31 points Friday Embiid registered 31 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 109-102 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Embiid has scored at least 27 points in three of his last four games, but he posted subpar numbers in other categories. The five-rebound haul was his third-worst output of the season in that regard, and he didn't stand out in what should've been a favorable matchup. Embiid has reached the 30-point mark just twice all season long, and between the injuries and the lack of production, he's no longer an automatic source of elite fantasy production.

Tyrese Maxey - Scores 27 points in loss Maxey chipped in 27 points (9-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 40 minutes during Friday's 109-102 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Maxey didn't have his best shooting performance despite going 5-for-11 from three-point range, and his lack of accuracy from inside that arc is what turned out to be a problem -- he went 4-for-13 in two-point attempts. Maxey has failed to reach the 20-point mark just twice all season long, though, so one bad game shouldn't affect fantasy managers in a big way.
