Oubre tallied 31 points (10-24 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during the 76ers' 139-129 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Oubre struggled from beyond the arc, but that was about the only blemish to his game as he and Cameron Payne (32 points) propelled the 76ers to a come-from-behind victory. It was the first time this season that Oubre made 10 free throws in a game, and he set a season high in both points and rebounds en route to his fourth double-double of the season. The veteran wing will have more offensive responsibilities on his shoulders for at least the next three weeks due to the absence of Tyrese Maxey (finger).

Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Miller logged only one minute off the bench Sunday against the Kings, but he'll be in line for a much larger workload Tuesday due to the Bulls missing Isaac Okoro (knee) and Collin Sexton (lower leg). Miller finished with eight points and nine rebounds in his only other start this season, which came against Phoenix last Thursday.

Smith will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Smith is available to play in a second consecutive contest following a five-game absence due to a left calf strain, and he'll return to the starting five after coming off the bench in Sunday's loss to Sacramento. He logged 20 minutes against the Kings, though it's unclear if he'll remain on a minutes restriction Tuesday.

Payne finished Tuesday's 139-129 win over the Grizzlies with 32 points (9-10 FG, 8-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 30 minutes.

The 76ers received the devastating news before Tuesday's game that Tyrese Maxey will miss at least the next three weeks due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. The absence of the two-time All-Star opened the door for opportunities for Payne, who gave the Sixers a much-needed spark off the bench after starting Monday's game against the Hornets. The move out of the starting five didn't impact the veteran southpaw, who proceeded to record career highs in points and three-pointers made. He missed just one of his 10 field-goal attempts and also got his teammates involved with a game-high 10 dimes for his first double-double since April 2024. Whether he comes off the bench or starts, it appears as though Payne will benefit the most from Maxey's absence in terms of production and opportunities.

Toppin will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

With Pascal Siakam (knee) out, Toppin will return to the first unit. He has yet to play more than 11 minutes through five appearances (two starts) since returning from a four-month absence and will likely remain on a strict minutes restriction Tuesday.

Jones will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Jones will step into the starting lineup Tuesday with Andrew Nembhard (back) out of commission. Jones had recently fallen out of the team's rotation, but he should receive plenty of looks with the Pacers navigating a thin backcourt.

Jerome was assessed two technical fouls and ejected with 1:18 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 139-129 loss to the 76ers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports. He finished with 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes.

Jerome dropped a team-high 26 points before being ejected late in the fourth after arguing with the officials. He has scored 20-plus points in back-to-back appearances and will look to extend that streak against Dallas on Thursday.

Richard is starting Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

With De'Anthony Melton (thigh) sidelined Tuesday evening, Richard will draw the start at shooting guard. This will mark his first start since Feb. 25, when he dropped 21 points in 30 minutes against Memphis.

Okoro (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Okoro was added to the injury report an hour before tipoff and ruled out shortly thereafter due to a right knee issue. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Lakers. With the 25-year-old wing joining multiple teammates on the sidelines, Leonard Miller and Rob Dillingham are likely to see increased playing time.

James (hip/foot) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

James will miss a third straight matchup while dealing with a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. With the superstar forward sidelined, look for Rui Hachimura, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt to see more chances Tuesday.
