• 76ers' Richaun Holmes: Records double-double Saturday

  04/09/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Holmes finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 90-82 loss to the Bucks. Holmes collected his second straight double-double Saturday -- something he's demonstrated that he's capable of doing when given the minutes. In games where the big man sees over 30 minutes, he averages 16.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, making him an intriguing DFS option when he's in line for that type of workload. With 76ers' centers Jahlil Okafor (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) both out for the year, Holmes will likely continue to see around 25 to 30 minutes of run, as he has taken over the starting center job out of necessity.

• 76ers' Richaun Holmes: Scores team-high 25 in loss Wednesday

  03/30/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Holmes recorded 25 points (11-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 32 minutes of play in Wednesday's 99-92 loss to the Hawks. Holmes notched his highest point total of his career as he paced the Sixers in scoring charge Wednesday, but it wasn't quite enough to take down the Hawks. The big man from Bowling Green makes an interesting fantasy play because of his ability to fill up an array of fantasy categories, including occasional three-pointers, but an inconsistent role in the Sixers' starting lineup coupled with the general inconsistent play of a second year, second-round draft pick make him a risky play on any given night. Wednesday was just the fourth time all season that Holmes recorded over 30 minutes of action.

• 76ers' Richaun Holmes: To start Friday vs. Bulls

  03/24/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Holmes will start at center in Jahlil Okafor's (knee) absence Friday versus the Bulls, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia reports. Holmes exploded for 24 points, 14 rebounds and five assists with Okafor sidelined Monday against the Magic, so his start Friday will be an opportunity to build on that performance. While fantasy owners should surely temper their expectations relative to that outburst, Holmes has still proven plenty capable since the Sixers traded Nerlens Noel, which makes him an intruiging option should Okafor's knee soreness persist.

• 76ers' Richaun Holmes: Likely on track to start Friday

  03/24/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  With coach Brett Brown labeling Jahlil Okafor (knee) as doubtful for Friday's game against the Bulls, Holmes is expected to enter the starting lineup at center, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia reports. Okafor and Holmes typically cannibalize the fantasy utility of one another when both are active, but Holmes will represent an intriguing low-cost DFS option Friday in the event Okafor sits. When Okafor was last held out Monday against the Magic, Holmes erupted for his best performance of the season, turning in 24 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 42 minutes. A repeat performance shouldn't necessarily be expected, but Holmes has shown on multiple occasions that this season that he's capable of flirting with double-double production when he's handed the bulk of the minutes at center.

• 76ers' Richaun Holmes: Returns to reserve role Wednesday

  03/22/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Holmes will come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt versus the Thunder, Randy Renner of NBA.com reports. Holmes has shined recently, specifically when he posted 24 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 42 minutes in Monday's starting opportunity against the Mavericks. However, Jahlil Okafor is healthy Wednesday, and will return to the starting lineup. Holmes still figures to see a relatively healthy workload off the bench.
