76ers' Kelly Oubre: Strong from deep in Game 4 defeat
Rotowire
Oubre ended Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.
Oubre had another strong offensive outing for Philadelphia in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Oubre has been a nice third option for the 76ers in the first-round series behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, tallying at least 15 points in two of the four games and surpassing the double-digit mark in three outings.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Does little in loss
Rotowire
Oubre logged four points (2-7 FG), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Oubre's unproductive evening marked his second consecutive subpar performance in the quarterfinals. He joined a mediocre group of starters who scored only 22 points compared to the 69 points accrued by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Improved stat lines from Oubre will be necessary for the Sixers to even the series at home.
Oubre racked up 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over the Magic.
Oubre was one rebound short of registering his fifth double-double of the season Friday. Oubre has scored 20-plus points in two of his last three games and has reached double-digit scoring in seven straight games. After signing a one-year, $2.89 million contract with the 76ers in September, Oubre has played a key role for the team this season and has likely earned a larger contract for next year.

With Joel Embiid (knee), Tobias Harris (knee) and a handful of other 76ers sidelined, Oubre stepped up on offense once again, scoring at least 25 points for the third time in the last five games. Since moving into the starting lineup March 8, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 18.6 points, 6.4 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16 contests.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Strong from deep as top scorer
Rotowire
Oubre notched 32 points (10-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes in Sunday's 135-120 win over Toronto.
Oubre led all players in Sunday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three to go along with a pair of steals and blocks in a well-rounded performance. Oubre set a new season high in scoring, now having surpassed the 30-point mark in two games this year. He also matched a season high in threes made, a mark he also posted on Christmas Day against Miami.
Oubre ended with 17 points (6-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Clippers.
The 28-year-old forward very nearly played hero, but his layup attempt at the buzzer was blocked by Kawhi Leonard -- although the refs acknowledged after the game that Oubre was fouled on the play and should have gone to the line with a chance to win it. The double-double was his fourth of the season, with three of them coming since he rejoined the Sixers' starting five Mar. 8. Over his last 10 games, Oubre has averaged 17.6 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks despite shooting 39.8 percent from the floor and 26.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Oubre (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Oubre is back after a one-game absence, and his return will likely correspond with Nicolas Batum heading back to the second unit. Make sure you've got the Tsunami Papi active.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Questionable to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Oubre (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.
Oubre is at risk of missing a second consecutive game due to left shoulder soreness. Buddy Hield and Kyle Lowry have been leaned on for 30-plus minute workloads when Oubre has been unavailable in the past, while Ricky Council and KJ Martin typically assume small rotational duties.
