Joel Embiid (back) expects to play for 76ers on Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back tightness) expects to play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
"If it was the Finals I'm sure I could have gone," Embiid said. He will work out on Monday to see how his back responds but the optimism is encouraging after the big man was a late scratch on Sunday.
Embiid is averaging 43.6 FanDuel points in 21 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 21.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.8 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers per game.
