Drummond is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Joel Embiid (ankle) is receiving a maintenance day Tuesday, allowing Drummond to enter the first unit. Drummond makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option, as he's averaging 9.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks in 26.6 minutes per tilt across 15 starts this season.
