M. Scott - PF

PHI

Mike Scott (right knee swelling) won't travel with Philly for their two-game road trip this weekend.

Scott will miss consecutive games on Saturday and Sunday, before potentially returning to action vs. Boston on Wednesday. He's not a fantasy factor but could emerge as a streaming/DFS option if Joel Embiid's own knee injury costs him games beyond the current road trip. For now, just continue to ignore Scott in the vast majority of leagues.

Mike Scott (right knee soreness) will not return on Thursday vs. the Heat.

He only managed to play five minutes with two rebounds to show for it. Now that Philly is mostly healthy again, Scott's role is going to be very limited anyways.

M. Scott - PF

PHI

Mike Scott played 46 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Heat, accounting for 16 points (6-of-16 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and four 3-pointers.

After playing 22 minutes in his first game back from an injury Monday night, Scott played 46 out of a possible 53 minutes against the Heat. Doc Rivers likely preferred to not have to do that, but given how shorthanded the 76ers currently are, he really didn’t have much of a choice. The good news is that Scott managed to get through those 46 minutes without any issues, so he should be good to go Thursday night when the two teams meet again. He’s worth streaming for the time being, but that will change once Tobias Harris (health and safety protocols) is cleared to return.

PHI

Tyrese Maxey, Ben Simmons (knee), Danny Green, Mike Scott and Joel Embiid (back) will start vs. the Heat on Tuesday.

Maxey remains with the starters and he should still see solid minutes with such little depth behind him, but his overall value will take a bit of a hit with the addition of Simmons.

Under normal circumstances, Scott wouldn't be on the fantasy radar. However, the 76ers are extremely shorthanded this evening, catapulting Scott into the streamer conversation.

Mike Scott (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

The Sixers are extremely shorthanded right now as Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and a million others remain sidelined because of league health and safety protocols. Although Joel Embiid (back) is expected to play. But there's minutes up for grabs and Scott could play a big role until Philly is healthy. Give him a look in deep leagues.

Mike Scott (left knee contusion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Scott will miss a fourth straight game due to the knee contusion. He wasn't a major factor when healthy, so his absence doesn't have an impact as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

Mike Scott played 19 minutes and hit 4-of-8 shots and three 3-pointers for 12 points, three rebounds and a steal in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers.

He's working his way back from a COVID-19 absence and played well tonight in limited action. Joel Embiid was out with back tightness, which helped Scott, but he's going to be a tough guy to roster in fantasy when the Sixers are a full strength.

Tyrese Maxey and Mike Scott were full participants in Thursday's practice according to Doc Rivers.

Philadelphia had its entire training camp roster available for the first time on Thursday, which means that Maxey and Scott have cleared COVID-19 protocols after testing positive upon their arrivals a couple weeks ago. Both players are in spots where they're unlikely to have much of an impact in fantasy this season, but Maxey is an intriguing player to keep an eye on for the future.

D. Peoples-Jones - WR

CLE

Donovan Peoples-Jones caught a 23-yard pass in the Browns' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.

The No. 187 overall pick closes the book on his first postseason with two grabs for 31 yards across two games. Billed as a big-play threat coming out of Michigan, 21-year-old Peoples-Jones caught 14 balls for an impressive 304 yards (21.7 YPC). Extremely young and as athletic as advertised, it was a great rookie outcome for a sixth-round pick. With a shallow, potentially Odell Beckham-less receiver depth chart in Cleveland, DPJ is an intriguing Dynasty league hold.

H. Bryant - TE

CLE

Harrison Bryant was held without a catch in the Browns' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.

Bryant was targeted only once. The No. 115 overall pick of the draft provided five three-catch efforts as a rookie, though he cleared 40 yards only once. His season ended with a whimper after he was placed on the COVID-19 list as a close contact for Week 16. Billed as a solid route runner but limited athlete coming out of Florida Atlantic, Bryant mostly lived up to his pre-draft billing. Even with David Njoku headed to free agency, Bryant will still struggle to rise above low-end TE2 status behind Austin Hooper in 2021.

D. Njoku - TE

CLE

David Njoku caught 4-of-5 targets for 59 yards in the Browns' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.

Where was this all season? Njoku's 59 yards were his most of 2020-21. His targets and catches also matched season highs. Looking to be dealt the first half of the season, contract-year Njoku failed to make noise even during Austin Hooper's three-game absence with an appendectomy. He was out-produced by fourth-round rookie Harrison Bryant. Today was a reminder of Njoku's play-making ability, but he will probably be treated as a one-year, "prove it" candidate on the open market, one who will have to settle for a low base salary. Njoku's Dynasty value is on life support.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker will remain with the starters for Sunday's game vs. the Kings, and Josh Hart will come off the bench.

Eric Bledsoe is back with the first unit today, and it'll be NAW, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Steven Adams rounding at the starters. Hart should still see quality minutes with the reserves, but he's a bit too inconsistent for standard leagues. NAW is someone to consider streaming.

Serge Ibaka is out for Sunday night's game against the Pacers, and Ivica Zubac will start in his place.

Ibaka is out due to an illness that is not COVID-19. Zubac should play major minutes in his absence and could be a valuable DFS option, though he'll have a tough matchup against Domanas Sabonis.

A. Hooper - TE

CLE

Austin Hooper caught 2-of-3 passes for 16 yards in the Browns' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.

Hooper ended the season as he began it, catching only two passes in a contest where the Browns played from behind the entire afternoon. Medical issues cost Hooper four games, but the $42 million free agent was a first-year bust in the Browns' run-heavy offense, snagging just 46 balls for 435 yards (9.4 YPC). Especially with Odell Beckham missing most of the season, it was a disappointment, even in the context of Hooper's late-round fantasy ADP. Hooper had been getting more involved before an October appendectomy halted his momentum. With Beckham's Browns future uncertain, Hooper is going to be needed for more in 2021, his age-27 campaign. Coach Kevin Stefanski is not averse to featuring tight ends. Hooper could still emerge as a TE1 in Cleveland.

K. Na - G

With preferred lies in effect and playing out of the final threesome, World No. 38 Kevin Na birdied four of his final six holes en route to a 5-under-par 33-32=65 in the final round of the Sony Open in Hawaii for a 72-hole tally of 21-under 259, up one spot on the day and good for a one-shot victory over runners-up Chris Kirk (65) and playing competitor Joaquin Niemann (66).

The 37-year-old, a pre-tourney 66/1 outright, bags his fifth TOUR title in 424 events, first since last season's Shriners 25 starts ago. At the Shriners, he was the 54-hole leader by two (68-62-61), closed with 1-under 70, and then dispatched Patrick Cantlay in extra time. After tasting victory just one time in his first 369 events, the Las Vegas resident has now won four more in his last 54 starts, including one in each of the last four seasons. This was his 14th Sony, first since a missed cut in 2018, and fourth top 10, first since T8 five tries ago in 2014. After kicking off with 67-66 and career- and week-tying-low 61, the South Korean-born American began T2, two back of leader Brendan Steele (69), and hit nine (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation. He squared a lone bogey-5 at 12 (3-putt from 39'10"), outflanked by six birdies at 2, 9, 13-15 and 18, three from between 10 and 15 feet, and also saved par three times from between six and 16 feet. Na gained 0.937 strokes approaching and 1.798 on-the-green with 27 total putts, wrapping the week with one eagle and 24 birdies versus five bogeys. He is in the published field at this coming week's American Express.
