Joel Embiid scores 17 with 19 boards, 5 dimes, 4 blocks in 76ers' win
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 17 points (6-of-16 field goals, 4-of-4 free throws) with 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 1 3-pointer, and 6 turnovers in 34.4 minutes of a 106-99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Embiid has put up 25.0 points with 15.5 boards, 2.5 dimes, 1.5 steals, 2.0 swats, and 0.5 triples over two contests since returning from an eight-game absence. There will likely be more random rest days between now and the end of the regular season, but Embiid remains an elite fantasy play whenever he takes the floor. The 76ers host the Sacramento Kings on Friday.
Embiid scored 56.3 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 52.7 FanDuel points through 56 games overall this season.
