Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) shed his questionable designation to suit up for Monday's postseason meeting with the Knicks. After scoring 33 points in Game 1, Maxey played even better in this one, scoring 35 points and adding 10 assists and nine rebounds. The 23-year-old had a lower DFS rostering cost entering Game 2, at least compared to some of the other potent guards on the slate. However, he certainly produced well beyond expectations. With the Sixers down two games to New York, the series will head back to Philly for Game 3 on Thursday night. Expect Maxey to continue to play heavy minutes and get a bulk of the scoring chances.

According to TNT's Chris Hayes, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) will play on Monday night versus the Knicks. He's under the weather and didn't participate in shootaround on Monday afternoon. While fantasy managers are happy Maxey will be out there, especially after a 33-point performance in Game 1 on Saturday, his DFS potential isn't as high as usual because of the illness.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) remains questionable for Monday's meeting with the Knicks. Maxey missed shootaround on Tuesday afternoon because of an illness, with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reporting he's now considered a game-time decision for Game 2. The 23-year-old is coming off a big performance, amassing 33 points in the Game 1 loss to New York. It would be surprising if he weren't out there for the postseason clash. However, if Maxey isn't available, Buddy Hield, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Nicolas Batum should benefit the most.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) was not at Monday's morning shootaround, and he's been downgraded to questionable to play in Game 2 against the New York Knicks. After logging a game-high 33 points in 41 minutes in Saturday's Game 1 loss, Maxey is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. If the All-Star guard doesn't suit up, Philly's offense would rely on Joel Embiid (knee) for the bulk of the scoring and playmaking. Based on his usage in the first game of this first-round series, Nicolas Batum would appear to be the most likely candidate to enter the starting lineup after leading the reserves in minutes (25) on Saturday. If head coach Nick Nurse opts to go small, however, it's worth noting Cameron Payne averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers in eight regular-season games for the Sixers without Maxey.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) isn't on the injury report for Friday's matchup against Orlando. He missed Tuesday's clash against Detroit with left hip tightness. Cameron Payne started in his place and will likely drop back to the second unit on Friday, where he will have very limited fantasy value. Facing a Magic squad that can through elite defender Jalen Suggs at opposing guards is a tough challenge for Maxey, but he's performed well in the matchup. Across two prior meetings this season, Maxey has averaged 27.5 points on 50 percent shooting against Orlando with 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Philadelphia 76ers point guards Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Kyle Lowry (knee) won't play against the Pistons on Tuesday. The latter misses a second consecutive game, while Maxey will be sidelined after putting in a massive 54-minute shift in the last game against San Antonio. Cameron Payne looks set for his second consecutive start and will get a big boost from the backcourt absentees. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists as a member of the first unit in 2023-24.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Pistons. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) sidelined for Sunday's double-overtime win over the Spurs, Maxey took advantage, finishing with a career-high 52 points. But with the Sixers a lock to at least make the Play-In, he might not be on the floor on Tuesday, especially with a 13-win opponent on tap. With that said, if Maxey sits this one out, Cameron Payne and Kyle Lowry (knee) could split time at the one, although neither player is a dependable DFS option.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey had a career night with 52 points in Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime win against San Antonio. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) out of the lineup, Maxey took full charge of the offense and finished the game with a whopping 41 shot attempts. He had 19 makes with a 2-for-10 record from downtown. Across 54 minutes of playing time, Maxey also tallied five rebounds, seven assists, and two steals while committing only one turnover. The young Sixers star is now tied for most 50-point games in the league this season, with this having been his third such effort. Embiid will likely be back on Tuesday versus Detroit, but Maxey should have a very strong finish to the regular season as Philadelphia desperately tries to lock down a top-six seed in the East.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) will play on Sunday against the Spurs. He was on the injury report again because of a nagging hip issue, which has kept him off the floor over the last few weeks. However, the All-Star is back for a much-needed win over San Antonio, and his upside is higher now that Joel Embiid (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) aren't available.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to left hip tightness. After missing two consecutive contests, the 23-year-old returned Thursday to suit up against Miami. He seemed unfazed by the injury posting 37 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 41 minutes. Philadelphia could be missing several important players on Saturday, with Joel Embiid (knee), Tobias Harris (knee), and Mo Bamba (illness) also listed as questionable.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) will rejoin the action on Thursday versus Miami. He has shaken off a questionable tag and will be back after missing two games with a hip problem. Maxey has carried a heavy load in previous matchups against the Heat in 2023-24, averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in 41.3 minutes. On Thursday, he will be getting extra help from Joel Embiid (knee), who's yet to face the reigning Eastern Conference champions this season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is back on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game in Miami. The 23-year-old has had a stellar 2023-24 campaign and was instrumental in helping the 76ers stay afloat while Joel Embiid (knee) was on the shelf. But he's battled various injuries throughout the season, with hip tightness keeping him off the floor for the Sixers' previous two contests. If Maxey returns, he'll presumably see his usual workload, considering he wouldn't be available if he weren't fully healthy. However, if he sits this one out, Cameron Payne, coming off a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double with five assists in Tuesday's win over OKC, is worth considering for deep DFS tournaments. With Embiid and Tobias Harris (knee) questionable, Payne's fantasy ceiling will rise if either is ruled out.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. A late addition to Sunday's injury report with left hip tightness before being ruled out ahead of the win over the Toronto Raptors, Maxey remains in danger of missing a second consecutive matchup with the issue. If the All-Star playmaker can't go on Tuesday, expect Cameron Payne to draw another start in Philly's backcourt alongside Kyle Lowry after he did so against Toronto. In five games as a starter for the Sixers this year, Payne is averaging 16.4 points, 3.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.2 threes and would be a decent fantasy streamer for points and triples against a Thunder team surrendering the sixth-most treys (3.3) to enemy point guards in 2023-24.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) won't play against the Raptors on Sunday. He picked up a late questionable tag due to hip tightness, and the team has now downgraded him to out. Cameron Payne is set to take his position in the starting lineup. It's a good matchup to make some noise for Payne, who's notched 13.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in six previous starts in 2023-24. Maxey's absence also means extra shots for the likes of Kelly Oubre Jr., Tobias Harris, and Buddy Hield.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and will return for Tuesday's meeting with the New York Knicks. After taking a blow to the head in last Sunday's victory over the Dallas Mavericks, Maxey is good to go following a four-game absence. The 23-year-old All-Star playmaker draws a stiff assignment in his return but is averaging 28.0 points, 5.9 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 threes, and 1.0 steals through his last eight showings.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old All-Star is still in the NBA concussion protocol and will miss his fourth consecutive game. Kyle Lowry and Cameron Payne will get increased minutes in Maxey's absence from the point guard position. In addition, Kelly Oubre Jr., Buddy Hield, and Tobias Harris are in line for an uptick in usage. The next chance for the 76ers fan-favorite guard to play will be Tuesday in a rematch against the Knicks if he gets cleared from the concussion protocol between games.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) remains on the sidelines for the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, but there was a promising sign as he was seen getting shots up after shootaround was over. The up-and-coming combo guard has missed the team's last two games after experiencing concussion-like symptoms following their contest against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The fact that he's getting some sort of on-court work shows that he's getting closer to a return. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for an official report ahead of their next game which is Sunday against the New York Knicks.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) won't play in Friday's tilt versus the New Orleans Pelicans, but guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will be available. After taking a hit to the head in Sunday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, Maxey remains in concussion protocol and will miss a third consecutive game. The All-Star guard's next chance to suit up arrives in Sunday's contest against the New York Knicks. Lowry is off the injury report after resting Wednesday, however, and his fantasy value is closely associated to Maxey's availability. Cameron Payne gave Philly some decent run in Wednesday's spot start in the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, scoring 16 points with four assists, two threes, and one steal in 28 minutes, but he'll presumably head back to the second unit with Lowry back against the Pels. Lowry is averaging 12.7 points, 7.3 dimes, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 treys over his past three starts for the Sixers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Sixers visiting the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Maxey was always going to have a tough time suiting up due to a concussion with such a quick turnaround. The All-Star guard hopes to pass concussion protocol in time for Friday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. Since Kyle Lowry (rest) will catch a breather on the second night of Philly's back-to-back, Cameron Payne will get all the run he can handle at point guard as a chalky DFS value play against the injury-plagued Grizzlies, despite a woeful 212-point implied total.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (head) will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Experiencing concussion-like symptoms, Maxey has returned to Philadelphia to be further evaluated. He collided with a teammate in Sunday's victory over the Dallas Mavericks and was examined by attending physicians before being cleared to return to the game. The 23-year-old All-Star has tried to keep Philly afloat in the standings amid Joel Embiid's (knee) absence, and across Maxey's last nine games, he's putting up 28.0 points, 5.9 assists, 2.9 threes, and 1.0 steals in 38.7 minutes per contest. A short turnaround on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies is on deck for Maxey, so he's up against it to be cleared for that one. Kyle Lowry is averaging 8.0 points, 5.8 dimes, 1.2 triples, and 1.0 steals in 27.8 minutes over five games (two starts) for the Sixers and should direct the offense against Brooklyn.
