Niang (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) provided six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 117-96 win over the Wizards.

Niang was back in action after missing the 76ers' previous four games while in the NBA's COVID-19 protocols. Though Niang entered the contest averaging 23.6 minutes per game, the 76ers eased him back into the mix with a slightly lighter workload than usual. Expect the 6-foot-7 forward to remain a key part of the second unit all season, though his fantasy upside will be capped while the likes of Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris are healthy.
