Consistency continues Reed finished with 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 123-121 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Reed is averaging 10.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17 games as a starter this season. The 24-year-old grades is a quality two-way rebounder and defensive playmaker, with Monday's production being indicative of realistic rest-of-season expectations.

Impact Reed was limited to 15 and 22 minutes, respectively, over the last two games while battling an illness, totaling just four points, 10 rebounds and one block. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, the 76ers need all the production they can get out of Reed, who's averaging 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes across his previous 13 starts this season.

Dealing with illness Coach Nick Nurse said Reed is dealing with an illness ahead of Monday's game versus Dallas, but the center will suit up, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, the 76ers need Reed available for as many minutes as possible, but the backup big man will presumably be limited against the Mavericks. He was reportedly dealing with the aliment ahead of Saturday's blowout loss to Brooklyn, and he posted just two points and four rebounds in 15 minutes during that contest.

Double-digit boards Thursday Reed supplied seven points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 127-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact Getting his third start in the last four games due to Joel Embiid's knee trouble, Reed led the Sixers in rebounding as he pulled down 10-plus boards for the third time this season. In 11 contests as a starter, the fourth-year forward is averaging 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 25.8 minutes a game, and with Embiid potentially facing an extended absence, Reed's run of fantasy relevance should continue.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting unit Reed is in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Thursday.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Reed returns to the starting lineup with the news that Joel Embiid will miss time due to a knee injury. Reed is averaging 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game when playing as a starter (10 games) this season.

Solid sans-Embiid Reed supplied 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 130-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Even without Joel Embiid (knee) Reed returned to a modest level of production, functioning in a platoon with Mo Bamba, who logged 19 minutes in his return from a knee injury that had sidelined him since Jan 12. Reed continues to thrive as a defensive playmaker, with a 2.5 percent block rate and a 1.9 percent steal rate, which, respectively, rank in the 73rd and 89th percentile among all bigs.

Dominates in starting lineup Reed had 30 points (14-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to Denver.

Impact Reed replaced Joel Embiid (knee) in the starting lineup Saturday by leading all players in scoring while hauling in a team-high rebound total in a 30-point double-double performance. Reed set season-high marks in both points and rebounds while tallying his second double-double of the year.

B-Ball Paul strikes in Denver Reed contributed 30 points (14-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Fans of Reed and Patrick Beverley (17 points, 11 assists) were in basketball heaven Saturday. Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (ankle) didn't suit up, while Mo Bamba (knee) is amid a multi-week absence, leaving Reed with a mammoth workload. His diet of midrange jumpers and buckets around the basket punished Denver. The Nuggets dared Reed to hit shots, and he succeeded Saturday.

Making surprise start Reed will start Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Reed will take the place of Joel Embiid (knee), who was a late scratch for the contest. With the 76ers very thin up front, Reed could have the opportunity to see 30 minutes for the second time this season. The last time Reed played at least 30 minutes, he logged 15 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Balanced outing off bench in loss Reed produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 17 minutes during Thursday's 134-122 loss to Indiana.

Impact Reed led all bench players in rebounds while leading the 76ers with a trio of threes in a well-rounded performance. Reed has posted at least five points and five rebounds in 11 games this season, including in two straight contests. He has now recorded three or more steals in three games.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Reed isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Reed has started seven of Philadelphia's past nine games. However, Embiid will return to action without restrictions Monday, so Reed should revert to a modest bench role. As a reserve this season, Reed has averaged 4.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 13.4 minutes per game.

Nick Nurse's Advice To Paul Reed For Filling In For Joel Embiid What advice has Nick Nurse given to Paul Reed to help him settle into his recent starter’s role?

JANUARY 14 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Posts season-high 16 points Reed closed Saturday's 120-109 loss to the Jazz with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Impact Reed got the start Saturday with Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out ahead of the game, and scored a season-high 16 points on 58.3 percent shooting. If Embiid sits out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Reed would likely fill in as the starter again and carry some fantasy value.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Utah Reed is in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Saturday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Reed will step into the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (knee) out, and while this will represent an uptick to his fantasy upside, he's not going to have the same workload Embiid currently has. Kelly Oubre and Tyrese Maxey are expected to benefit from Embiid's absence.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Reed isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Joel Embiid will replace Reed in the starting lineup Tuesday after missing the last four games with an ankle injury. Reed is averaging 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Scores 11 poinst Saturday Reed racked up 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-92 loss to Chicago.

Impact Reed started for the fourth consecutive game with Joel Embiid (ankle) sidelined, and while he delivered a decent stat line, it's clear he's not going to have the same impact as Embiid on the offensive end of the court. Reed is averaging 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in that four-game span, and while his fantasy upside has received a bump with Embiid sidelined, his long-term role belongs on the bench.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-best effort in spot start Reed chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-92 win over Orlando.

Impact The fourth-year big got the start with Joel Embiid (ankle) sidelined and produced his first double-double of the season, and the seventh of his career, while also making an impact on the defensive end. The 15 points and 10 boards were both season highs for Reed, and he hadn't even scored in double digits since Dec. 1, the last time he got a spot start and played over 20 minutes. Embiid has missed two games so far with his ankle sprain, and should he be out again Friday against the Rockets, Reed figures to be a very popular DFS option.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws Christmas day start Reed will start Monday against Miami, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Reed will make his second start of the season and his fourth start of the past two years with Joel Embiid shelved Monday due to an ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is also out, so Reed profiles as a critical component of Philadelphia's frontcourt against Bam Adebayo. Reed is averaging 11.0 points and 5.7 rebounds across three contests when he's logged 20-plus minutes this season.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Reed isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Washington.

Impact Joel Embiid's return from a two-game absence will send Reed back to the bench. Reed is averaging 5.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.4 minutes across his previous 10 bench appearances.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high scoring in spot start Reed accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 125-119 loss to Boston.

Impact The fourth-year forward got the start at center with Joel Embiid (illness) unavailable and responded with a season high in points. Reed has only scored in double digits three times all year, but those performances have all come within the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's averaging 7.0 points, 4.2 boards, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in just 16.7 minutes a night while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.

Enters starting lineup Reed will start Friday's game against Boston, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Joel Embiid (illness) is sitting out Friday's game, so Reed will start at center with Marcus Morris replacing Nicolas Batum (finger, out) at power forward. Reed offers plenty of fantasy upside, particularly in category leagues. In his last outing against the Pelicans on Wednesday, Reed had nine points, five assists, four rebounds and one steal.
