- InjuriesJalen Duren is out two weeks, and Philadelphia rested Embiid the night after his triple-doubleDetroit beat Philadelphia without Duren, who has a strained right hamstring, while the Sixers sat Embiid for rest and VJ Edgecombe with an abdominal contusion. John Collins is the pickup.
- BreakoutsThe Sixers came back from 29 down, and what it told us about Maxey, Embiid and LeBronTyrese Maxey played 42 minutes for 32 points, Joel Embiid played his second game in three nights, and Cleveland's first game showed what Harden and Mitchell will cost in turnovers.
- BreakoutsOpening night in fantasy terms, from Paul George's 72 points to Wembanyama's 1-of-13Paul George scored 72 ESPN fantasy points in his Boston debut and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 67, while Victor Wembanyama and Jayson Tatum had poor shooting nights that moved our projections only slightly.
- StrategyLock-In week one, where Maxey's four games beat Murray's twoIn a Sleeper Lock-In league a player's week is worth more the more games he has to pick from, so Tyrese Maxey's four games in week one are worth more than Jamal Murray's two despite a near-identical average.
