The Sixers forward has been placed in health and safety protocols and will not be playing. The team is already without Joel Embiid.

Philadelphia 76ers SF Tobias Harris was ruled out for Monday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after being placed on health and safety protocols, the team announced before the overturn. Furkan Korkmaz will start in place of Harris. The Sixers are already without C Joel Embiid, who was ruled out to rest.

Update – Harris is expected to miss several games while on health and safety protocols. That should rule out Harris for at least the next three games counting tonight. That would mean he will miss back-to-back Wednesday and Thursday games against the Bulls and Pistons. If Harris is forced to quarantine himself for 10 days, that could mean he is out at least until next week against the Bucks on Tuesday.

If the books are wise, the line is already down, and you won’t be able to snag any player props until after this news. If you were able to ride the Trail Blazers, so much the better. Portland struggled to open the season 3-3 and needed a big win tonight. Damian Lillard is in a rebound position. He started the season slow, averaging just 18.3 points per game while shooting 35% from ground and 23 from downtown.

On the Sixers’ side, they have a cargo of valuable games in DFS. Expect Tyrese Maxey ($ 5,600) and Seth Curry ($ 5,200) to handle most of the score. Andre Drummond ($ 4,400) was already going to be a super chalk with Embiid and his ownership could increase due to Harris’ exit. Even Korkmaz ($ 3,500) and Shake Milton ($ 3,600) should offer good value at these prices. The only real problem is that the Blazers are blowing up the Sixers. The books opened the line at Blazers -2, so they still think this game will be close.

So on the lines. It looks like a trap. Portland should have no problem winning by more than 2 points. This game could easily be a massive blowout like I mentioned above. Yet we have seen teams have big names outside of the lineup and still manage to rally and win. Even so, you have to go with the Blazers in this one. Looks like a good place for Lady and he should have a big game. The top looks like the movement at 219.5. Portland should have no problem scoring and the Sixers have players who can step up and shoot.
