EDGE Analysis
With the 76ers ruling out Jahlil Okafor (knee) for the season earlier Friday and coach Brett Brown inclined to lean on Tiago Splitter only as a lightly-used third-string option at center, Long looks poised to see decent minutes off the bench as the top backup to starting center Richaun Holmes, and a relief option for Dario Saric at power forward as well. The undrafted rookie probably won't see enough playing time the rest of the way to warrant universal fantasy ownership, but he's worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues. He's averaging 12.3 points and 5.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game over his last six contests while shooting 64.6 percent from the field.
