Packs box score Thybulle ended with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and six steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Thybulle scored more Monday night than he had in his last two contests combined, as he'd been held to just four total points over that stretch. It was also a positive sign to see the Washington product get involved on the glass, as he's not typically one to pull down more than a few boards. Thybulle has been a somewhat consistent source of blocks for fantasy managers of late, swatting a shot in five of his last seven matchups.

Rejects three shots in win Thybulle finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three blocks, two assists and one rebound across 25 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 123-108 win over the Knicks.

Impact While the 10 points were a nice bonus, Thybulle did exactly what fantasy managers wanted from him in Wednesday in providing defensive stats. After two straight games of three steals, Thybulle switched it up and provided more of an impact in protecting the rim and contesting shots as the 76ers cruised to a comfortable win. With averages of 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game for the season, Thybulle should remain a high-end asset in both areas the rest of the way.

Scoops up three steals in win Thybulle finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and two assists in Sunday's 125-109 win over the Knicks.

Impact Thybulle paid dividends for those that streamed him for steals over the weekend, as the third-year forward delivered six thefts between blowout wins against the Timberwolves and Knicks. The scoring and rebounding production he delivered Sunday are on the higher end of what he typically offers, but Thybulle should be viewed as an elite source of defensive stats so long as he continues to handle a 25-plus-minute role. Though he came up empty in the blocks category in the past two games, he's still averaging 1.0 per game on the season.

Embiid has huge game to help 76ers outlast Bucks, 123-120

Racks up six steals in win Thybulle finished Saturday's 103-93 victory over the Cavaliers with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and six steals in 32 minutes.

Impact Thybulle notched a combined seven defensive stats Saturday, reminding fantasy managers just what he is capable of. Unfortunately, his offensive game has not taken the steps forward we were hoping to see, capping his overall appeal in competitive leagues. Looking ahead, it's safe to say he will remain either an elite streaming option or a deeper league difference-maker.

Solid performance in loss Thybulle produced eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Thybulle was back in the starting lineup Tuesday following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The defensive ace was perfect from the field and the free-throw line, but as usual, he wasn't overly aggressive on offense. Thybulle provided his usual defensive output and didn't appear to be limited during his 35 minutes of action -- his fourth highest total of the season.

Impact Thybulle started and handled a heavy minutes load in his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained shoulder, but he didn't provide his trademark stalwart defense in the win. Though the stat sheet told a different story, Thybulle served as the primary defender against Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who blew up for 31 points and was able to get off jumpers without much difficulty. Once he regains his wind, expect Thybulle to resume shining on the defensive end both from a statistical and real-life standpoint, though he'll likely have to sacrifice at least a few minutes once the likes of Seth Curry (ankle), Danny Green (hip) and Shake Milton (back) are back in action.

Expected to start Wednesday Coach Doc Rivers said Thybulle (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's contest against the Pelicans and will likely be in the starting lineup, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Thybulle has missed the last five games with a right shoulder sprain, but he will make his return Tuesday. He may be limited, but fantasy managers can likely trust him to play his usual 20-30 minutes per game, given Rivers' comments.
