The Philadelphia 76ers (30-19) welcome in the Atlanta Hawks (22-28). The 76ers have struggled without Joel Embiid, and now they face a Hawks team that can score points. We all know who the fantasy studs are in this game, but let’s find some players that will have low ownership and provide at least 3x value.
Let’s dig in and break this down!

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Atlanta Hawks Obvious Starts
https://gty.im/1431739110
Trae Young– PG ($9,300 DK/ $9,700 FD)
Despite Atlanta’s lackluster season, Young has had a solid season. He is averaging 50.8 FPPG and is the go-to guy in this Hawks offensive attack. Young has scored at least 40.0 fantasy points in his last seven games. Over that stretch, he has scored at least 20 points or more. He is a must-start, but I think his price is a little high.
Tyrese Maxey– PG ($9,200 DK/ $9,600 FD)
Maxey has paired well with Joel Embiid, but he has struggled with his partner in crime out for the foreseeable future. He is averaging 43.6 FPPG, but in his last two games, he has posted 22.5 and 27.0 fantasy points. That worries me a little, considering his salary cap hit on my lineup. I will not have much exposure to Maxey in this one and will look for value elsewhere.
Start ‘Em
https://gty.im/1463953283
Bogdan Bogdanovic– SG ($5,900 DK/ $6,500 FD)
Bogdanovic is averaging 29.2 FPPG, which is a pretty good value considering his price. Over his last three games, he has scored at least 27.0 fantasy points. He is coming off a 12-point, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal performance against the Celtics. I like Bogdanovic in this one and think he will score at least 25-30 fantasy points against an Embiid-less 76ers team.
Kelly Oubre Jr.- PF ( $6,400 DK/ $6,500 FD)
Oubre Jr. is averaging 24.0 FPPG this season, but with Embiid out, he has been more involved in Philadelphia’s game plan. He is coming off a down game against Golden State, where he scored a meager 16.75 fantasy points. I see Oubre Jr. bouncing back in this one and scoring 25-35 fantasy points. In his last five games, he has posted 16.75, 29.5, 23.0, 35.5, and 23.5 fantasy points, respectively. He now faces a Hawks team that has not been good at the rim this year. I will have a lot of exposure in my lineups.
Sit ‘EM
Paul Reed– C ($5,800 DK/ $6,500 FD)
Paul Reed has shown some bright spots since Embiid went down, but this is not an ideal matchup against Atlanta. He will be matched up with Okongwu, who has been rolling as of late. I don’t like Reed in this one, and his consistency worries me despite his price.
Lock of the Game
https://gty.im/1249312868
Tobias Harris– SF/PF ($7,800 DK/ $8,300 FD)
With Embiid out, Tobias Harris has been stepping up for the 76ers. Over his last four games, he has posted 27.75, 39.5, 48.75, and 47.0 fantasy points, respectively. These two teams met on 1/12/24, and Harris amassed 56.25 fantasy points. Harris should be in your lineups and has a very favorable matchup. On the season, he is averaging 33.2 FPPG, which is the type of production that you need to win tournaments.
