PHI: Joel Embid - OUT
• Bumps for everyone in the starting lineup with Embid out, there is a lot of usage to replace - Simmons, Richardson, Harris and Horford
• Kyle O'Quinn and Mike Scott are value options filling in for Embid
POR: Skal Labissiere - OUT
• Toliver will backup Whiteside with Labissiere out
I will update as many game scenarios as I can along with Showdown slate
Definitely appreciate the injury updates, 1 question though. Does Toliver become a must start if Whiteside is forced to sit. Thanks again info
I wouldn't say he becomes a must start, I think the usuage will disperse amongst the other starters more, I think Melo will get some more rebounds. He is still a fine value play at almost minimum salary as he should be able to get around 20 Fpts if he receives 30 plus minutes, Hezonja will probably also get more run. He'll be useful if want to squeeze in another star into your line-up but you by no means need him in all your line ups.
