A masked Joel Embiid posted 34 points and nine assists Friday night in the Sixers' 108-98 win over the Hornets.
Friday's blowout win was a routine night at the office for the Cavaliers' big men, with Mobley playing 27 minutes and Jarrett Allen (10 points, 10 rebounds, and two steals) playing 25. First-year head coach Kenny Atkinson vowed to unlock Mobley's full potential, and that approach has made the fourth-year big a top-25 player in 9-cat formats. Meanwhile, Allen continues to provide top-50 value starting alongside Mobley. On Saturday, they'll face a Joel Embiid-less 76ers squad to end Week 8.
Sixers center Joel Embiid, back from a one-game absence due to a sinus fracture, scored 24 of his game-high 34 points in the second half as Philadelphia topped the Hornets 108-98.
Maxey has scored 22 points or more in four straight games, his longest streak since the season's first six games. The efficiency hasn't been great this season, but the 76ers guard is shooting nearly 46% from the field over the past two weeks. Saturday's matchup with the Cavaliers will be more difficult, especially with Joel Embiid (sinus fracture) already ruled out.
A top-40 player in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks, Oubre has been one of the pleasant surprises in fantasy basketball this season. Friday's point total was the highest for the Tsunami Papi since October 25, when he scored a season-high 28 against the Raptors. Rostered in 44% of Yahoo leagues, Oubre should be added to more standard league rosters. With Joel Embiid out Saturday, Oubre is worth considering for streaming in some shallow formats.
