Kelly Oubre Jr.

Kelly Oubre Jr. has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Oubre will miss his second consecutive game as he continues to recover from an illness. His next opportunity to play comes on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. With Oubre and VJ Edgecombe (back) ruled out, Cameron Payne, Jabari Walker, Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes are all candidates for increased opportunities.

Oubre was a late addition to the injury report and won't play Tuesday against the Spurs on the first night of a back-to-back.

Fantasy Impact

Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker should see added minutes with him sidelined.

Oubre finished with 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, three three-pointers, three assists, and one steal against the Heat — his second game with at least 21 points during a five-game double-digit scoring streak.

Fantasy Impact

With Paul George suspended for 13 more games, Oubre has the role to keep this going, and the recent production suggests he's making the most of it.

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 25 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3P, 7-8 FT) with five rebounds, two assists, and a steal in the Sixers' 126-111 loss to the Pelicans on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

It was a tough loss for the Sixers, who saw nice contributions from Oubre and Tyrese Maxey, but lacking elsehwere. He's had at least 17 points in four of his last five games, but that other single game was a stinker on the scoreboard; he had 11 Reb+Ast to save his day.

Oubre finished with 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting and perfect 4-of-4 free throws in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers. He contributed across multiple categories with four rebounds, one assist, four steals, two blocks and three three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

The six combined steals and blocks fell one short of his season-high seven defensive contributions, which he recorded January 11 against the Raptors. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, Oubre continues seeing expanded opportunity in the 76ers' rotation.
