Philadelphia 76ers power forward Tobias Harris scored 21 points and secured 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season during a 127-124 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. The 29-year-old shot 7-for-18 from the field, including 2-for-5 behind the arc, and 5-for-7 from the line. The Tennessee product also added four assists, two blocks, and a steal across 41 minutes. The sturdy Harris has been a solid number two option behind center Joel Embiid, averaging over 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.2 triples per game while shooting 47.6% from the field and 82.9% from the line.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) won't play against Atlanta on Friday evening. After missing six games earlier in November because of COVID-19, the veteran is now dealing with a non-Coronavirus-related sickness. Fortunately, the team won't play again until Monday night in Charlotte, so there is a chance he could make it back by then. However, Georges Niang will most likely take his place in the meantime, with the 28-year-old averaging 11.8 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout four starts this year. Fantasy managers looking for a short-term replacement should undoubtedly keep him in mind.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) was unable to get through Friday's shootaround. Luckily, this is a non-COVID related illness after Harris was forced to miss time while following protocols. Fantasy managers should consider Harris questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His absence would mean more minutes for Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang. Out of the two, Niang is the better fantasy option and could have some low-cost DFS appeal for Friday's slate, assuming Harris is out. Fantasy managers will have to check back later in the day for more information.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was held out of Monday's contest due to hip soreness. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Sixers hold out their star forward for another contest. His absence would mean more minutes for Furkan Korkmaz, Matisse Thybulle and Georges Niang. Out of the three, Thybulle has the most upside and could be worth a look as a streaming option, assuming Harris sits out.

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been deemed questionable to play in Monday's game against the Kings due to a sore left hip, but Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer has said that the 29-year-old is unlikely to take the floor. Harris has already missed six games earlier this year due to injury, with an absence likely paving the way for Georges Niang to return to a significantly elevated role. While injuries have decimated the Sixers' depth, Tyrese Maxey stands to see a gargantuan offensive workload, particularly against a Sacramento squad that plays at the league's fourth-fastest pace. Harris' next chance to suit up comes Wednesday vs. Golden State.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris had three triples and shot 10-for-22 overall from the field en route to a season-high 32 points in Saturday's loss to Indiana. He was 9-for-10 at the foul line and bagged a double-double with 11 rebounds. Harris also compiled three assists with four turnovers in 35 minutes. This was a very impressive effort, considering that Harris missed multiple weeks with COVID-19 and it was only his second game back in the lineup. He should be in for a few more big scoring nights next week, with a lot more offensive touches available in a Joel Embiid-less team.

Playing for the first time since Oct. 30, Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris returned on Thursday and immediately received a full workload. In a 115-109 loss to the Raptors, Harris played 37 minutes and came out with 19 points on 7-for-18 shooting, seven rebounds, seven assists, a block and a three. It's a great return for the All-Star after almost two weeks off due to COVID-19 protocols. With Joel Embiidand Ben Simmons (personal) not contributing to the 76ers, Harris has the opportunity to produce some fantastic fantasy numbers over the next week and possibly even longer.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris and guard Seth Curry (ankle), listed as questionable, are available and in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Raptors. Harris cleared the health and safety protocols but needed to prove his readiness in a pre-game shootaround, which he was able to do. Meanwhile, Curry will make his return to the court after missing the last game due to a bruised foot. Rust could be a factor for Harris, but he and Curry should see expanded roles on offense with Joel Embiid in the health and safety protocols.

The Philadelphia 76ers could get two valuable pieces to their rotation, Tobias Harris and Seth Curry (foot), back in the lineup Thursday against the Raptors. Harris has missed the past six games while in quarantine after a positive COVID test, though head coach Doc Rivers had said that he would be returning soon- and his questionable designation supports that notion. Meanwhile, Curry missed the team's last game while dealing with a bruised foot- but also has a chance to return to the action. Both Harris and Curry could inherit large offensive roles with Joel Embiid sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) won't play on Saturday in Chicago. The veteran remains sidelined after being diagnosed with COVID-19, a sickness that has kept him out of the team's previous three contests. While Harris could make it back next week, possibly as early as Philly's matchup against the Indiana Pacers on November 13, the severity of his symptoms could keep him out even longer. As a result, Matisse Thybulle and Georges Niang should continue to benefit from a statistical standpoint, although both should be considered volatile options for all seasonal fantasy setups. However, there is certainly an upside for each, mainly for those partaking in DFS GPP formats.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris put together a strong stat line in the team's 112-99 loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. He scored a game-high 23 points while racking up nine assists and nine rebounds. He was efficient from the field in the game, shooting 10-for-18 while netting a pair of three-pointers. He was one of the lone bright spots for the 76ers on Tuesday as none of his teammates scored over 14 points. The 29-year-old is off to a solid start to the year, averaging 20.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 51.5% from the field.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) and power forward Tobias Harris (knee) are "most likely" going to suit up for Thursday's game against Toronto, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The duo sat out the preseason opener, allowing Andre Drummond and Georges Niang to draw starts in their stead, respectively. Drummond was able to notch a double-double in his time, while Niang couldn't find a consistent rhythm with the starting five. DFS managers can anticipate Embiid being eased into action with his extensive injury history, while the return of Harris is encouraging for season-long managers who face draft decisions on the high-scoring wing in the coming days.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) won't be available for the preseason showdown in Toronto against the Raptors. The veteran is dealing with right knee soreness, although at the moment, it isn't anything that will force him to miss the start of the regular season. Philly will also be without Joel Embiid (rest) and Ben Simmons (personal), so Tyrese Maxey, Georges Niang, and Andre Drummond will begin Monday's contest as members of the starting unit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wes Unseld Jr.'s path to this point was a bit different than his father's. The elder Unseld led Washington to an NBA title as a player before later taking over as coach. Unseld Jr. had a more modest playing career, but his experience as an assistant with multiple teams helped him earn a shot at coaching the Wizards. “I think we both share that deep-rooted passion for the game,” Unseld Jr. said. “He was coming from a different place as a player, obviously an MVP, a champion. I think my experiences to this point have been different.” Unseld was introduced as Washington's new coach Monday, and there was understandably some nostalgia, given his father's prominent place in franchise history. But the Wizards are looking for more than a familiar name, and after six seasons as an assistant with the Denver Nuggets, Unseld arrives with a clear vision of what Washington needs. “The defensive side of the ball has been an issue here. That’s an area where I’ve been charged with for... [More]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ben Simmons clanked one free throw off the back of the rim, so he took a breather, fist-bumped Joel Embiid, paced, walked back to the line and bonked another shot. Hey, the 76ers still led the Hawks by 23 points at that point, Game 5 seemed in the bag, so what’s two missed free throws? Just 1 second in game time later, Simmons was back at the line -- Atlanta using a Hack-A-Ben strategy to its advantage in the playoffs -- and Simmons swished one to the roar of the crowd. Back for the second shot, a 76ers fan wearing a No. 25 Simmons T-shirt simulated proper form from the stands, only to have Simmons knock one off the front of the rim. Yes, a three-time All-Star in the first year of a $177 million max deal received a pity ovation in Philly. Simmons missed a stunning 10 free throws in Game 5 -- and that seemingly insurmountable lead turned into an epic defeat that helped usher the top-seeded Sixers out of the postseason. Fans were devastated, the media pounced and Simmons... [More]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ben Simmons backed his way to the basket, spun around Danilo Gallinari for the easy look at the net — an uncontested layup, a dunk — and he passed. Passed the ball. Passed on the shot. Passed on the chance to tie the game. Joel Embiid threw up his hands in disbelief. With a chance to tie Game 7 against Atlanta late in the fourth quarter, Simmons surrendered the chance to play postseason hero and fed the ball to Matisse Thybulle. “I just assumed Gallo was coming over my back,” Simmons said. Simmons thought Gallinari would try to foul him — much as the Hawks did throughout the seven-game series victory to reach the Eastern Conference finals — and going to the line in the clutch was a risk the All-Star guard was not willing to take. His free-throw shooting was the poison in the postseason that ultimately knocked out the top-seeded Sixers. Simmons shot 25-for-73 (34%) from the line in the playoffs and missed 27 alone against the Hawks. Unacceptable numbers for any player,... [More]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Doc Rivers met Joel Embiid on the court, slapped the big man’s hand and gave him a big I-told-you-so in the waning moments of a Game 6 victory. Rivers believed in his 76ers. Embiid, Seth Curry and even Tobias Harris came through down the stretch to reward Rivers’ faith in them and win in Atlanta. “These guys are young, man,” Rivers said. “They need to believe that. I didn’t know if they did or didn’t. I thought they did. You can tell in the way we played. But he have another game.” This Eastern Conference semifinal comes down to Game 7 Sunday in Philadelphia and there’s scant proof the home-court edge will matter much for the top-seeded Sixers. Game 1, Atlanta leads by 26 points, wins. Game 5, Hawks trail by 26, win. Both games in Philly. Here comes Trae Young and the Hawks back to Philadelphia, with recent road success on their side -- but the weight of Atlanta’s career 0-9 mark in Game 7s on the road against them. “You have to look at that, the fact we have won there...

ATLANTA (AP) — The NBA's top playoff seeds, Philadelphia and Utah, are on the brink of being eliminated. The 76ers have blown leads of 18 and 26 points in back-to-back losses to the Atlanta Hawks, who now lead the Eastern Conference semifinal series 3-2. Atlanta, the No. 5 seed, can clinch the series at home on Friday night after storming back for an improbable 109-106 win on Wednesday night in Philadelphia. “Our backs are against the wall right now and we have to play like it,” said Philadelphia's Tobias Harris. Seth Curry said the 76ers should not have psychological scars from losing big leads in back-to-back losses. “It shouldn’t,” Curry said. “We’re grown men over here. Watch the film and learn from it and bounce back.” Led by Trae Young, the Hawks are attempting to advance to a conference final for only the second time since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The Hawks were swept by Cleveland in the 2015 conference final. The Hawks won their only NBA championship in 1958, when the team was... [More]

ATLANTA (AP) — John Collins already has seen what playoff success has done to raise the hometown excitement for the Atlanta Hawks. Collins is eager for the opportunity to build more enthusiasm now that the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers has shifted to Atlanta. With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 will be played on Friday. There is less heading into Friday's Game 3 matchup between Phoenix and Denver. The Suns hold a 2-0 lead over the Nuggets in their Western Conference semifinal in a series that Phoenix seems to be in total control. In Atlanta, the Hawks announced a sellout on Thursday for Game 3 and said only a few seats remain for Monday's Game 4. The Hawks have won 13 consecutive home games, the longest active streak in the NBA. The streak includes two home wins as Atlanta beat the New York Knicks in five games in the first round. Collins said he found evidence of Atlanta's playoff fever at his neighborhood gas station. “I go into the same gas... [More]
