Fantasy Impact:

Prior to traveling to Atlanta for this weekend's All Star Game, Joel Embiid and fellow teammate Ben Simmons came into close contact with an individual now known to have tested positive for COVID-19. There is still uncertainty as to whether Embiid and Simmons will have to remain in Atlanta after this weekend's festivities come to a close. Pelicans' Zion Williamson will start in Embiid's place.
