76ers' Mike Scott: Unproductive in start
Rotowire
Scott totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes in a 103-94 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday.
With Joel Embiid (illness) out of the lineup, Scott got the start and recorded both a steal and a block for just the second time this season. The center has really struggled on offense of late, failing to shoot at least 50.0 percent from the field in eight consecutive games. Over that span, Scott has averaged just 2.4 points (on 26.9 percent shooting from the field) and 1.5 rebounds per game.

76ers' Mike Scott: Plays through hip injury
Rotowire
Scott (hip) tallied three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in nine minutes off the bench Wednesday in the 76ers' 127-83 win over the Hawks.
Scott was listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game with a sore left hip, but he was able to play through the injury. So long as starting power forward Tobias Harris remains healthy, Scott likely won't have a path to 20-plus minutes in most games.

76ers' Mike Scott: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Scott (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
The 32-year-old missed Monday's matchup with the Thunder due to the sore left hip, and his availability remains in question for Wednesday due to the injury. Scott is the only player on the injury report, so Philadelphia should be in good shape even if he remains sidelined.

76ers' Mike Scott: Scratched with sore hip
Rotowire
Scott will not play Monday against the Thunder due to a sore left hip, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
This is the first we're hearing of the injury, so it's likely the Sixers simply needed a reason to give Scott the night off. Entering Monday, the veteran forward had appeared in 29 straight games, including making a spot start in Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. He finished that contest with just three points, two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes.

76ers' Mike Scott: To start for resting Embiid
Rotowire
Scott will start Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
With Joel Embiid resting on the second half of a back-to-back, the Sixers will go with a smaller lineup and roll with Scott at center. Scott started a few games when Embiid was out with a knee injury, but his numbers were mostly underwhelming. Even so, he could be a popular, low-cost pivot in DFS contests.

76ers' Mike Scott: Moves back to bench
Rotowire
Scott will come off the bench Wednesday against the Jazz.
The 32-year-old had 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four steals in 25 minutes Monday, but he'll head back to the bench with Tobias Harris (knee) rejoining the lineup. Scott should fill a more limited role as a reserve for Philadelphia.

76ers' Mike Scott: Career-high four steals
Rotowire
Scott managed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 130-114 win over the Pacers.
With Tobias Harris (knee) still out, Scott drew the start, and he responded with a career-high four steals in the blowout victory. He also didn't miss a shot from the field. As a result, Monday's performance can probably be considered the best of Scott's season. If Harris misses more time, Scott might not necessarily start, but he should see extra minutes and could be a viable option in deeper fantasy league and DFS.

Rotowire
Scott will move into the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Tobias Harris (knee) missing a second straight game, the Sixers will go with Scott at power forward, while Danny Green moves down to the small forward spot. Seth Curry and Ben Simmons will comprise the starting backcourt. In Saturday's loss to the Cavs, the Sixers started Furkan Korkmaz at one forward spot, while Scott played 19 minutes off the bench.

Rotowire
Scott recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 16 minutes during the 76ers' 134-123 loss to the Jazz on Monday.
Scott started the game at center with Joel Embiid (back) out of the lineup. Despite the 76ers being a plus-1 with Scott on the floor, he was still limited, having just come off a 13-game absence due to a knee injury. The forward is averaging just 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in an injury-riddled season thus far.
