Oubre ended with 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to Miami.
Oubre recorded just his fifth double-double of the season, albeit one with very little in the way of supporting stats. While the minutes were encouraging, Oubre's upside is limited at the moment, given the fact that Philadelphia is mostly healthy. In two games since returning from injury, Oubre has averaged 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Oubre tallied 31 points (10-24 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during the 76ers' 139-129 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Oubre struggled from beyond the arc, but that was about the only blemish to his game as he and Cameron Payne (32 points) propelled the 76ers to a come-from-behind victory. It was the first time this season that Oubre made 10 free throws in a game, and he set a season high in both points and rebounds en route to his fourth double-double of the season. The veteran wing will have more offensive responsibilities on his shoulders for at least the next three weeks due to the absence of Tyrese Maxey (finger).
