Mike Scott Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers power forward/center Mike Scott (hip) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta due to a sore left hip. Scott missed his first game in more than two months Monday due to the ailment, allowing Anthony Tolliver and Paul Reed to see some elevated run. Scott has started three of the last five games that he has appeared in, although he has reached the double-digit scoring mark just twice in his last 25 contests. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on Scott's status.
Mike Scott Returns To Action For Saturday’s Contest
Philadelphia 76ers power forward Mike Scott (knee) has been cleared to suit up for Saturday's game against the Suns, marking his first in-game action since Jan. 14. Scott has played a minimal role off the bench this season for Philly (4.9 PPG), but with Shake Milton (ankle) absent from the second unit, the veteran forward could have a path to a handful of shot attempts. Scott's return also provides depth behind Tobias Harris in the frontcourt, although fantasy managers are safe leaving him to the waiver wire in all season-long formats.
Philadelphia 76ers power forward/center Mike Scott took advantage of some extra run with many 76ers players' sitting this one out on Tuesday. Scott scored 17 points with three makes from three while adding four rebounds with a steal in just 22 minutes of action. Raul Neto also came to life off the bench with 22 points and four assists in 25 minutes of action. The 76ers should have Al Horford (knee) and Tobias Harris (ankle) back on Wednesday, meaning Scott and Neto will be pushed back to lesser minutes.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. The team will be without Ben Simmons (knee) for the foreseeable future, which means someone is going to need to step up. Al Horford figures to gain the most fantasy value and playing time from the loss of Simmons. He might be a risky DFS option since Horford has struggled with the Sixers. Scott will back him up off the bench, but doesn't offer much fantasy value.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's practice. He was held out of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to right knee soreness. His fantasy value is basically gone after Ben Simmons moved from point guard to power forward. Al Horford has been getting in minutes at power forward as well off the bench, so Scott won't have much value whenever he's ready to play.
Mike Scott Scores 15 Points, Hits Five Three-Pointers In Victory
Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott scored 15 points while adding five threes and four rebounds in Thursday's 115-109 victory over the Celtics. Scott filled in as a starter to replace the injured Al Horford (knee soreness), and did an effective job with a 5-for-7 shooting mark from three-point range, while logging a season-high 28 minutes of action. If Horford is forced to miss Friday's contest against the Pelicans, Scott will be a streaming option in deep leagues for his contribution in the three-pointers category as a member of the starting lineup.
Mike Scott Drops Season-High 21 Points In First Start Of Year
Without center Joel Embiid in the mix, the Philadelphia 76ers tabbed power forward Mike Scott to enter the starting five for Saturdays rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Scott set a new season high by logging 24 minutes, in which he went 9-for-12 from the floor overall, including 3-for-5 from long range, ultimately finishing with 21 points, also a season high. Having established himself as a consistent bench cog for the Sixers -- who has played between 15 and 23 minutes in each of the teams prior 19 games -- Scotts strong performance was likely just a one-night boost without Embiid. The All-Star center is expected to return for Sundays contest against Toronto, but should anything change, Scott would be in a golden position for a DFS play.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Center Joel Embiid (ankle) missed practice on Friday and is listed as questionable as well. Veteran big man Al Horford might be asked to pick up heavy minutes in this one. Jonah Bolden could be asked to play some minutes as well, but Horford is the player you want.
Forwarded Mike Scott has agreed to resign with the Philadelphia 76ers, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Scott will sign a two-year deal worth $9.8 million. Scott has been a solid, efficient backup forward over the past couple years and should continue to thrive in his role. The Sixers resigned forward Tobias Harris to a max contract, likely leaving Scott as first forward off the bench. Scott has historically contributed more for his NBA team than for fantasy teams and should be left on the wire outside of very deep leagues.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is available for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Scott missed the first two games of this series after suffering a heel injury in Game 5 against the Brooklyn Nets. Scott is expected to see some playing time on Thursday, but is too risky to use in DFS contests.
