Anthony Black - Stuffs stat sheet in winBlack logged 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes of play during Sunday's 102-99 win over the 76ers.

ImpactBlack has shown flashes of brilliance this season, and tonight was one of those nights for the second-year guard. He contributed across the board, which should please fantasy managers who played him in category leagues. However, Black is certainly benefitting from starter Jalen Suggs (back) being out, and even then he's remained unpredictable during Suggs' absence. He'll look to keep rolling Wednesday against the Bucks.

Cole Anthony - Stays hot in winAnthony scored 25 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), dished four assists, grabbed three boards and recorded two steals in Sunday's 102-99 win over the 76ers.

ImpactIt seemed as though he had taken a leap at times last season, but Anthony has remained a backup this year. However, with Jalen Suggs (back) out again Sunday, Anthony stepped into the starting lineup and delivered once again. He's now averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the last five games with the first unit, his only starts of the year. Suggs remains day-to-day, and until he can return, Anthony should continue to start. His next outing comes Wednesday agains the Bucks.

Eric Gordon - Solid performance as starterGordon logged 14 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four boards, a steal and a block across 28 minutes in a 102-99 loss to the Magic on Sunday.

ImpactSunday's contest marked Gordon's second start of the year with Caleb Martin (groin) ruled out. He made the most of it, matching his second-highest scoring mark of the year and recording a season best in rebounds, all while notching a perfect night from behind the arc. It's currently unclear when Martin will return, but until he does, Gordon's offensive volume should continue to benefit.

Paul George - Second straight double-doubleGeorge posted 20 points (10-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists and a steal during 37 minutes of play in Sunday's 102-99 loss to the Magic.

ImpactGeorge has turned things around of late amidst what's been a disappointing start to his tenure with the 76ers, and he stayed hot during Sunday's clash with the Magic. He's played three games in Joel Embiid's (foot) absence, averaging 19.3 points, 10.0 boards and 5.3 assists during that span, with two of his three double-doubles on the year also coming in that stretch. With Embiid still listed as day-to-day despite missing four straight contests, it's hard to tell when he'll come back. But, until he does, George's rebounding and scoring volume will likely continue to reap the benefits.

Tyrese Maxey - Game-high 29 points in narrow lossMaxey finished with 29 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 12-13 FT), five assists, four boards and three steals in 39 minutes of action during Sunday's 102-99 loss to the Magic.

ImpactThe star guard led all scorers on the night, but he struggled to score efficiently from the field and was ultimately unable to give his team the edge in the wire-to-wire contest. With Joel Embiid (foot) remaining out, the offensive load once again fell to Maxey, who, despite his shooting woes, did a good job getting to the line. In Embiid's four-game absence, Maxey has averaged 29.8 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals on 45.0 percent shooting from the field. It's unclear when the big man listed as day-to-day will make his return, but until he does, the offense should continue to run through Maxey.
