Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will not play Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Melton is dealing with back tightness so the Sixers are likely using precaution by holding Melton out on Tuesday. Matisse Thybulle will get the spot start with Melton out and is a good stream for defensive stats. Shake Milton should also get an uptick in minutes and usage.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been given the questionable tag ahead of their game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old was able to play around 28 minutes in their last contest against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. This could just be a precautionary injury report, but popping up as questionable that close to tipoff isn't a great sign. If he can't suit up, look for Shake Milton to enter the starting lineup and Furkan Korkmaz to get some added time off of the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton had a superb game at both ends of the floor Friday versus the Lakers, contributing with 33 points and seven steals in a 133-122 overtime win. Both marks are his new career highs, and Melton became only the second NBA player ever with 30 points, eight triples and seven steals in a game. He shot 8-for-12 from downtown and 11-for-16 overall from the field, adding four rebounds and two assists to his line with two turnovers in 43 minutes. The 24-year-old guard has been delivering great value for managers throughout the season, and he remains a very important member of the squad even with James Harden back on the court.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton has been asked to pick up the slack with the team shorthanded right now. On Wednesday, Melton finished with 20 points, six rebounds, three assists, and four steals in the loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The Sixers need Melton to play big minutes with the team missing multiple starters. That being said, the expectation is that Melton will continue to have games like this. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Melton is available. He's worth rostering until the Sixers gets healthy again.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His absence will move Matisse Thybulle into the starting five for Saturday's game. Thybulle is a good defender, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of scoring. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid are the focal points on offense for this team right now. Thybulle should get increased playing time with Melton sidelined, but he's really more of a deep league asset.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton is expected to move into the starting lineup, starting on Friday night versus the New York Knicks. With James Harden (ankle) sidelined for at least a month, Melton will have a chance to see a rise in production until the former MVP returns. The 28-year-old has averaged only 9.5 points this season. However, he's averaged 14.5 points in his two appearances as a starter in 2022-23. Fantasy managers will obviously have a tough time replacing Harden's statistical contributions. Yet, Melton could help soften the blow to a degree.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) was a late scratch for Wednesday's clash with Washington and his status for Friday's game versus the Knicks is currently unknown. Melton was ruled out of the game with lower back stiffness. Matisse Thybulle ended up starting in his place but sprained his ankle and wasn't able to finish the game, so this was a bad night for Philadelphia on the injury front. Melton had just found some rhythm and started to produce solid numbers at both ends of the floor. Shake Milton logged a season-high 15 minutes Wednesday and should pick up the slack once again if Melton and Thybulle are unavailable Friday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (hip) has said that he plans to play Wednesday against Toronto. The team has listed him as questionable for the matchup, but the 24-year-old is apparently feeling fine for the contest following the morning shootaround. Melton's eagerness to play is completely understandable because his start to the season hasn't gone too well. He's averaged 6.3 points per game in 18.3 minutes of action with 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals. Melton logs the most minutes off the Sixers bench alongside Danuel House Jr., but neither player has managed to make a big impact in fantasy hoops.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Melton is coming off his best game of the season but appears to be dealing with some soreness in the groin area. Melton does not have a huge role with the Sixers right now, averaging only 18 minutes per game off the bench this season. However, if he were to be ruled out, Melton's absence would lead to some extra minutes for Shake Milton, Furkan Korkmaz and Danuel House Jr.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard De'Anthony Melton had it all working during the Drew League playoffs Saturday, as he compiled 26 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals to lead the Hometown Favorites to victory. Melton is coming off having averaged a career-high 10.8 PPG last season for the Grizzlies, where he played in 73 games (15 starts). The 24-year-old's role appeared to be on a straight trajectory upward before he was dealt to Philly, complicating how the team's backcourt minutes will shake out. With a group consisting of James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle, Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz, Melton may be blocked from blossoming into a redraft league option, even as he'll be a name to monitor in his new situation.

Memphis Grizzlies point/shooting guard De'Anthony Melton dropped a team-high 24 points off the bench during Saturday's win over Milwaukee. Without Ja Morant (knee) available, the Grizzlies have been scoring by committee, with Melton taking the onus Saturday while tying his career high with six made threes. It was a night of all-around production for the fourth-year guard, who compiled three rebounds, three steals, and two assists across his 22 minutes. Melton has averaged 20.5 points and 5.3 made threes over his last four games, pushing him into short-term season-long consideration while Morant is sidelined. He faces a tougher task Monday against Golden State, but Melton's ceiling remains high.

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Melton has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Melton could return Thursday, but the organization might hold him out due to conditioning concerns. Regardless, it sounds like Melton will return soon and he should have a significant role once he does get back on the court. Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane are likely to lose value once Melton does return.

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton and forward Dillon Brooks have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Both players have entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is a shame since Brooks has been a top-100 player this season. The absence of these two will mean a spike in usage for Desmond Bane. He'll certainly be worth a look for DFS contests on Sunday. He'll get plenty of run while the Grizzlies are shorthanded. Also, Tyus Jones and John Konchar, and Kyle Anderson should see a boost. Jones has quietly been solid this season and could have some sneaky streaming value and DFS appeal for Sunday.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard De'Anthony Melton notched 19 points off the bench on 8-for-10 shooting in Thursday's blowout win over the Thunder, adding six rebounds and five assists to his line with one turnover in 22 minutes. He produced a 3-for-5 effort from deep. Melton went quiet in November, but this is a great start to the new month, and the 23-year-old should have a few more good performances coming up, with Ja Morant (knee) unavailable and set to miss multiple weeks. The Grizzlies have a nice four-game week coming up.

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the first time we're hearing about a groin issue and the fact Melton was ruled out immediately isn't a good sign. He was playing extremely well to begin the season, but has been falling off the fantasy radar lately. The return of Dillon Brooks (hamstring) has hurt Melton's hurt. Although, Brooks is doubtful for Saturday, so the Grizzlies could be shorthanded. Desmond Bane could be looking at significant minutes with possibly Ziaire Williams getting involved.

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton notched 22 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Saturday's road win over the Clippers, sinking half of his eight attempts from deep. He also had seven rebounds and two assists in the game. Melton has kicked off the season with back-to-back 20-point games, which makes him an intriguing option for fantasy managers. He'll be back in action on Sunday against the Lakers in a matchup that will be a good test to his form, as LeBron James' squad hasn't allowed opposing guards to shine much early in the year.

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton is a member of the starting five for Wednesday's season-opener against Cleveland. He'll be joined in the backcourt by second-year pro Desmond Bane. Melton figures to get plenty of run in the starting lineup with Dillon Brooks (hand) expected to miss the beginning of the season as he recovers from a fractured hand. Melton has averaged 13.3 points, 5.2 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.8 threes per game per 36 minutes in his career, making him a savvy DFS choice. Bane flashed some three-point shooting ability as a rookie and could also soak up some of the opportunities left behind in the absence of Brooks.
