De'Anthony Melton Expected To Play With Illness
6 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (illness) is probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Melton is under the weather but should be ready to play by the time Wednesday night arrives, judging by the probable tag. We'll see if Philadelphia offers another update after morning shootaround leading into the action against the Wizards. Melton dropped 21 points with four threes on a season-high 19 field-goal attempts last Friday against the Boston Celtics, but expect his usage to take a tumble with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Kelly Oubre Jr. all back in the fold for Wednesday's battle. Melton remains a strong hold in 9-category fantasy leagues unless the Sixers swing a trade for another star, averaging 12.8 points, 3.7 assists, 2.4 three-pointers on 40.0% shooting from long distance, and 1.3 steals in 30.2 minutes through 19 starting appearances this year.
