In a promising matchup for daily fantasy basketball players on FanDuel, several key injuries open the door for big performances from lesser-known players. With Joel Embiid and Paul George out for the Philadelphia 76ers, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. are primed for solid scoring opportunities against the Washington Wizards, who are struggling defensively.
Maxey is coming off an impressive 31-point game, while Oubre has consistently contributed with significant minutes and production. Meanwhile, Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls is also a key target, boasting an impressive scoring streak, making him a valuable asset on this slate.
Other noteworthy mentions include Tobias Harris and Josh Hart, both of whom are expected to step up due to injuries on their respective teams. As the evening progresses, players should keep an eye on injury updates that could affect their lineups.
