Tucker (calf) isn't listed on the 76ers' injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Brooklyn on Saturday.
Tucker missed the final two games of the regular season due to a calf injury, but as expected, those absences were merely precautionary, and the defensive-minded forward will be good to go for the playoffs. Across 75 regular-season starts, Tucker averaged 3.5 points and 3.9 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game.

Tucker logged 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Celtics.
Tucker scored in double digits for the first time since Feb. 15 by knocking down 80.0 percent of his tries from the field. However, this type of production is unlikely to continue, as he's averaging only 4.2 points and 3.6 rebounds over his last 10 contests. Tucker also hasn't recorded a defensive stat since March 25.

76ers' P.J. Tucker: Scoops up three steals Wednesday
Rotowire
Tucker compiled five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 118-109 win over the Cavaliers.
Tucker was a team-best plus-22 during his time on the floor Wednesday, but aside from his season-high-tying steals total, the veteran forward delivered yet another barren fantasy line. Despite his reputation as a rugged defender, Tucker can't be counted on to regularly make an impact in terms of defensive stats, as his season-long averages of 0.5 steals and 0.2 blocks per game attest. The lack of useful numbers on both sides of the ball is enough to keep Tucker off the fantasy radar even in most deeper leagues, even though he continues to see 20-plus minutes in most games.
