Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Drummond sat out of Wednesday's game due to an illness and is in danger of missing his second straight game. The good news is that Joel Embiid is back in the mix, but he's not at full speed yet. That means, Guerschon Yabusele could see significant minutes if Drummond is unable to play on Friday. Yabusele finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes of action on Wednesday. He's worth a look as a streaming option if Drummond misses another game.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) isn't available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. The veteran had been starting while Joel Embiid was sidelined. But with Embiid back on the floor for Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Drummond had only five points and four rebounds in 18 minutes. With Embiid resting on Wednesday, Guerschon Yabusele should be considered a must-start in all fantasy setups, even more so with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Paul George (rest) out as well.
Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable On Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness on Wednesday. The 31-year-old veteran has averaged 9.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 22.5 minutes in the last five contests. The 76ers front court will miss Drummond's presence if he's unable to suit up, especially with Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) being held out for rest. If Drummond cannot go, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele, and Caleb Martin may see their roles increase.
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond will start on Wednesday night versus Milwaukee. Joel Embiid (knee) won't suit up for at least three games, so Drummond may see plenty of time in the middle for the foreseeable future. The 31-year-old was dominant in 10 starts with the Bulls last season, averaging 14.1 points, 17.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals. As a result, Drummond should be featured in any fantasy lineup imaginable. There's also room for Guerschon Yabusele to get involved enough to warrant starting consideration in deeper fantasy setups.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond appears ready to move on from the Windy City in the summer. According to Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times, Drummond is looking for a new team. The veteran big man will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after completing a two-year, $6.56 million deal in Chicago. Drummond has been a serviceable backup big for the Bulls, averaging 7.3 points and 7.9 rebounds in 15.1 minutes during his stay. The best days are behind Drummond, but he remains a strong rebounder and should help fantasy managers again in the department wherever he lands for the upcoming campaign.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Heat. The veteran injured his ankle toward the end of the regular season and missed some games. Yet, he was back on the floor for the win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. While Drummond only logged 11 minutes, he made the most of his limited workload, finishing with four points, four rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. Nonetheless, while Nikola Vucevic should absorb most of the minutes in the middle on Friday evening, Drummond has value for DFS managers on a night that features just two games across the National Basketball Association.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Play-In meeting with the Miami Heat. Drummond sprained his ankle near the end of the regular season and missed some games. However, he returned for Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. But the veteran logged only 11 minutes, ending the night with four points, three rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. Nonetheless, Drummond should be on the floor for Friday's pivotal contest. While the ailment makes him a risky DFS option, he'll still have some value for the limited two-game slate. Yet, if Drummond can't play, the Bulls may need to go small, opening the door for Torrey Craig to get more involved.
Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. His absence has opened up more playing time for Dalen Terry in the rotation. He has put together some decent performances and would likely be asked to play more minutes if Drummond sits out. Terry would have some low-end DFS appeal if Drummond is unable to play.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. The veteran sprained his ankle when these clubs met on Tuesday and has missed Chicago's previous two contests. The team hopes to have him back for the Play-In. However, there's the possibility that Drummond won't be on the floor for the Bulls again this season. As of Saturday afternoon, Nikola Vucevic isn't listed on the injury report after resting on Friday in the win over the Orlando Magic. But if Vucevic doesn't suit up, Adama Sanogo, coming off a 22-point, 20-rebound showing, would see plenty of interest from DFS Managers.
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is considered doubtful to play against the Pistons on Thursday. He hurt his left ankle on Tuesday in a matchup against the Knicks and might be done for the rest of the regular season, with only three games remaining on the Bulls' calendar. Adama Sanogo grabbed a few extra minutes following Drummond's exit on Tuesday, but he's not somebody fantasy managers should target. Nikola Vucevic will likely get a busy night without a proper backup. This is a favorable matchup for him against an inexperienced squad that gives up the 10th-most rebounds in the league to centers and allows opposing fives to shoot nearly 60 percent from the field.
