    Key Storylines

    Maximum Maxey – Tyrese Maxey has been a first-round talent over the past month without Joel Embiid. Fantasy managers will be looking for him to continue that reign of terror as the Sixers sit just above the Play-In Tournament. This isn’t the best matchup in the world for Maxey, but it’s not a bad one either. Let’s all lock in for the Maxey show.

    Oof, My H(e)art-enstein – Isaiah Hartenstein is reportedly going to be on a minutes limit for the rest of the season as they try to get him ready for “significant minutes” in the playoffs. We also have the return of OG Anunoby, but I expect this return to be pretty underwhelming with a minute restriction of his own. I’m most concerned about Precious Achiuwa here, but we could also be looking at some reduction in production from Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. Hartenstein is a drop in case you need a roster spot. He has some significant upside, but won’t reach value for us on limited minutes.
