Quentin Grimes - Lives at charity stripe in win Grimes logged 23 points (6-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during the 76ers' 139-129 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Impact Grimes struggled from deep, but he was rewarded for his aggressiveness with a season-high 11 made free throws. He's scored at least 23 points in two of his last three outings, and the fifth-year pro should continue to operate in an expanded role in the absences of Tyrese Maxey (finger), Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension).

VJ Edgecombe - Logs 21 points in return Edgecombe finished Tuesday's 139-129 win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Edgecombe made his return Tuesday from a three-game absence due to a lumbar contusion, and his return was timely after the news that Tyrese Maxey (finger) would be out for at least the next three weeks. Edgecombe showed some rust from beyond the arc, but he still posted 20-plus points for the fifth time in eight outings since the All-Star break and co-led the Sixers in steals with Cameron Payne. Edgecombe will need to take on a larger role moving forward in the absences of Maxey, Paul George (suspension) and Joel Embiid (oblique).

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Double-doubles vs. Memphis Oubre tallied 31 points (10-24 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during the 76ers' 139-129 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday...

Impact Oubre struggled from beyond the arc, but that was about the only blemish to his game as he and Cameron Payne (32 points) propelled the 76ers to a come-from-behind victory. It was the first time this season that Oubre made 10 free throws in a game, and he set a season high in both points and rebounds en route to his fourth double-double of the season. The veteran wing will have more offensive responsibilities on his shoulders for at least the next three weeks due to the absence of Tyrese Maxey (finger).

Cameron Payne - Perfect from deep in career night Payne finished Tuesday's 139-129 win over the Grizzlies with 32 points (9-10 FG, 8-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 30 minutes.

Impact The 76ers received the devastating news before Tuesday's game that Tyrese Maxey was set to miss at least the next three weeks due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. The absence of the two-time All-Star opened the door for opportunities for Payne, who gave the Sixers a much-needed spark off the bench after starting in Monday's game against the Hornets. The move out of the starting five didn't impact the veteran southpaw, who proceeded to record career highs in points and three-pointers made. He missed just one of his 10 field-goal attempts, but Payne also got his teammates involved with a game-high 10 dimes for his first double-double since April of 2024. Whether he comes off the bench or starts, it appears as though Payne will benefit the most from Maxey's absence in terms of production and opportunities.

Tyrese Maxey - Will be re-evaluated in three weeks Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for the 76ers, who will also be without Paul George (suspension) until late March. Maxey sustained the finger injury with just 16 seconds remaining in Saturday's loss to Atlanta after colliding with Adem Bona. With Maxey sidelined for at least the next three weeks, VJ Edgecombe should see increased ball-handling duties, while Cameron Payne and Tyrese Martin are candidates for increased minutes.

Cameron Payne - Retreating to bench Tuesday Payne is not in the Sixers' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Payne made his first start for the 76ers in Monday's 115-101 loss to the Cavaliers, when he finished with 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers over 28 minutes. Even though Tyrese Maxey (finger) is not playing Tuesday, Payne will still revert to a bench role due to the return of VJ Edgecombe (back).

VJ Edgecombe - Good to go Tuesday Edgecombe (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Edgecombe will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a lumbar contusion. The rookie first-rounder will likely operate in more of an on-ball role Tuesday with Tyrese Maxey (finger) sidelined. Over seven appearances since the All-Star break, Edgecombe has averaged 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

Dalen Terry - Shines in bench role Terry finished Monday's 115-101 loss to the Cavaliers with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes.

Impact Terry made a strong impression on his new team Monday, and with so many injuries in Philadelphia, he's at least worth monitoring in deeper formats. Across five total appearances with the 76ers, Terry is averaging a mere 10.2 minutes per contest.

Justin Edwards - Fares well off bench Edwards finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 115-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact With so many injuries in Philadelphia, Edwards was able to take advantage of an expanded role. The 76ers have four more games this week, putting Edwards firmly on the streaming radar.

VJ Edgecombe - Listed as questionable Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact After missing the past three games for the 76ers, Edgecombe is officially day-to-day. With so many key players out for the 76ers, Edgecombe could see a considerable bump in usage if he's able to return from a three-game absence.

Adem Bona - Limited despite start Bona finished Monday's 115-101 loss to the Cavaliers with eight points (4-10 FG) and seven rebounds over 26 minutes.

Impact Despite starting for the third straight game, Bona continues to offer very little in terms of tangible production. In his three recent starts, he has averaged just 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks, well below what fantasy managers would have expected. While the numbers are far from exciting, he remains a viable streaming option, given the favorable schedule and the fact that Joel Embiid could miss the entire week due to an ongoing oblique injury.

Quentin Grimes - Team-high 17 points Grimes chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 115-101 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Grimes led the 76ers with 17 points, playing at least 30 minutes for the third straight game. While it has been a disappointing campaign for Grimes, injuries to both Tyrese Maxey (finger) and VJ Edgecombe (back) could see Grimes playing a sizeable role for the foreseeable future. With another four games still to come this week, Grimes figures to be a popular short-term addition to just about any fantasy squad.
