Matisse Thybulle

Thybulle isn't likely to be a consistent source of offense for Philly, but his work as a defender keeps him squarely in the top-150. He averaged 1.1 blocks and 1.6 steals last season in just 20 minutes per game, and an increase in playing time would do wonders for his fantasy value. With Ben Simmons likely on the move and Tyrese Maxey a potential trade chip in any hypothetical deal, there's optimism that Thybulle's role could expand in Year 3. He'll need to cleanup his poor shooting to ascend further up the fantasy rankings.

Matisse Thybulle has three steals in win over the Wizards

Matisse Thybulle totaled eight points (4-6 FG), three rebounds, two assists, one block, and three steals in 22 minutes in the Sixers' 127-101 win over the Wizards on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Thybulle had three steals in the Sixers’ win over the Wizards, making it his tenth over the past three games. Even though he wasn’t able to repeat his double-digit scoring performance, he was still able to produce value contributing to every stat-sheet category. He was outshined by both Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz, who both had 18.0 points and several contributions to the stat-sheet; they also saw more time on the floor. From a fantasy perspective, the Sixers may use a “hot-hand” approach night-in and night-out, making it riskier to trust Thybulle's production especially given his small volume role in the rotation. He is worth looking at as a flier option for your DFS lineups.
