Philadelphia 76ers DFS Notes
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there is fear that Joel Embiid has a torn ligament in his right thumb. The good news is that Embiid has vowed to continue playing through the injury, and he’ll rely on his pain tolerance and Philly’s medical staff. He’s also nowhere to be found on the injury report whatsoever, so we’ll go ahead and flip him back to active as long as we don’ t get bad news before the early 2pm EST tip on Saturday. There was also a report minutes ago that said Embiid was expected to play in Game 4, so this all lines up, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on going forward.
Toronto Raptors DFS Notes
OG Anunoby hit 8-of-18 shots and four 3-pointers for a team-high 26 points, five rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in Wednesday’s devastating 104-101 home loss to the Sixers in overtime. OG’s name was all over this game tonight, as he hit a big 3-pointer with 2:45 left in regulation, followed by a Precious Achiuwa putback that gave the Raptors a late five-point lead. He also appeared to cleanly block a late James Harden layup but it was ruled a goal tend, which might have been the call of the game. Either way, Anunoby was awesome tonight. Gary Trent Jr. looked like he was feeling better and had 24 points and four 3-pointers and Achiuwa added 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting off the bench. Fred VanVleet hit just 3-of-13 shots, Pascal Siakam was quiet with 12 points, and it looks like it’s only a matter of time before the Raptors are heading to Cancun. But they put up a heck of a fight tonight.
