Oubre provided 18 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 victory over the Timberwolves.
Oubre played the three-and-D role effectively against the Timberwolves, sinking three triples while racking up four steals. The 11-year veteran is shooting 36.5 percent from three so far this season, which would go down as the best mark of his career.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Notches 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Oubre chipped in 17 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 loss to the Hawks.
Oubre saw a ton of usage for the 76ers with Joel Embiid (knee, shin) sidelined, but he couldn't find his rhythm from the field. Based on his workload and shot touches alone, he'll have obvious streaming appeal in the short term.

Rotowire
Oubre racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over the Suns.
Oubre's role has heightened due to Paul George's (suspension) absence, but he was already a fixture in the starting lineup for several games before George's exit. Although results haven't been steady, he's averaged 15.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals since George's suspension, all while averaging 35.6 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Oubre totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 128-113 victory over the Clippers.
Oubre is expected to be the prime beneficiary of Paul George's (suspension) absence, and the former has kicked off the stint with a pair of decent totals. The 11-year pro is averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 steals this season, but those numbers are likely to rise over the next month.

Oubre finished Monday's 113-104 win over Indiana with 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five assists, one rebound, two steals and one block over 35 minutes.

The former took advantage of the opportunity, finishing as the 76ers' third-leading scorer behind Joel Embiid (30 points) and Tyrese Maxey (29 points). It was Oubre's best performance since returning in early January from a 22-game absence due to an LCL sprain in his left knee, though he may revert to a bench role against the Suns on Tuesday if George is cleared to play.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Now probable Wednesday
Rotowire
Oubre is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness and left knee injury recovery.
The 76ers didn't include Oubre on their initial injury report, but the veteran wing may have felt under the weather upon waking up. Oubre remains likely to play, with official word on his status set to arrive shortly before Wednesday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Since returning to action Jan. 7 following a 22-game absence, Oubre has averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest in four appearances.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Production falls off in win
Rotowire
Oubre ended with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds over 30 minutes during Monday's 115-102 victory over Toronto.
Oubre was unable to replicate his production from the previous night, failing to have a major impact despite the win. As long as the 76ers are relatively healthy, Oubre is likely to serve as the fourth or even fifth option on the offensive end. Managers should not view him as a must-roster player.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Showcases defense in late start
Rotowire
Oubre logged 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals and three blocks over 34 minutes during the 76ers' 116-115 overtime loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Oubre was thrust into the 76ers' starting lineup minutes before the 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff after Paul George was scratched late due to a knee injury. While Tyrese Maxey (38 points) handled things offensively, Oubre stepped up in a big way on the defensive side of the floor, finishing with season highs in both steals and blocks. Oubre could remain in the starting lineup in Monday's rematch against Toronto if George is not cleared to return.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Oubre is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors.
Paul George (knee) was initially listed in the starting lineup, but he was suddenly ruled out minutes before tipoff with Oubre being announced as his replacement. Oubre has been quiet since returning from a knee injury that forced him to spend nearly two months on the sidelines, but he'll have some time to shine as a starter Sunday. Joining him in the first unit will be Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Tepid production in return
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) registered two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one assist across 20 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 131-110 win over the Wizards.
Oubre had started in each of the 76ers' first 12 games of the season, but after missing 22 consecutive contests due to a left knee sprain before gaining clearance to play Wednesday, the veteran wing came off the bench and operated with a heavy minutes restriction. After averaging 16.8 points per game prior to getting hurt, Oubre took on a much more muted role on offense in his return, handling a season-low 8.8 percent usage rate. Oubre could still see his minutes and usage pick up a bit in future contests, but he'll likely struggle to return to his pre-injury level of production now that Paul George has been back to full health for a while now after he had been sidelined for the first 12 games of the season.

Oubre (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Washington.
Oubre, though available, will be under a heavy minutes restriction. The veteran wing hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 14. He started in each of his first 14 appearances this season, but he may come off the bench as the 76ers ease him back into action.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Oubre, who hasn't played since mid-November, is on track to return for Wednesday's game. Per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com, Oubre will be under a heavy minutes restriction if available. Still, he was playing very well before going down, so make sure he's not floating around on your waiver wire. Oubre's return will likely result in fewer minutes for Quentin Grimes.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Oubre (knee) won't play Monday versus the Nuggets.
Oubre was recently cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 work, which is often the last step in the rehab process. While Oubre won't play Monday, he does appear to be close, so perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.
