Jahlil Okafor and the Philadelphia 76ers lost on the road to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night by the final score of 110-93. Okafor scored 12 points in 29 minutes on 5-of-8 shooting from the field. He also grabbed four rebounds, dished out one assist, had one steal, and blocked a game-high three shots.

Fantasy Impact:

As has been the trend during this season, whenever Joel Embiid misses a game, Jahlil Okafor gets the start and usually does well. That trend continued on Saturday night, as Okafor filled up the stat sheet. It would be wise to pay attention to this, as Embiid left Friday night's game with a left knee contusion and may miss additional time. If that were the case, Okafor would be a must-start fantasy option, as he has an immense amount of talent and would instantly be inserted into the team's starting lineup. His price is very affordable on most DFS sites, so rolling with him in your lineups could pay off. For season-long leagues, unless it is revealed that he is the starter in place of Embiid, leave him on your bench.
