Joel Embiid (back) questionable for 76ers Monday night
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back tightness) is questionable to play on Monday night versus the Houston Rockets.
Embiid was a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup before being cleared and putting up 31 points with 8 rebounds and 6 assists. That came against Steven Adams, so the sledding should be even easier versus a Rockets frontcourt missing Clint Capela (thumb). If Embiid is unable to play, the 76ers will likely rely on Mike Muscala, Amir Johnson, and Jonah Bolden at center.
numberFire's models expect Embiid to play 33.6 minutes and score 51.0 FanDuel points, at a cost of $11,000, on Monday.
