76ers' Joel Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Friday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Friday's marks the first game of a back-to-back, so it's possible Philadelphia chooses to play this safe with Embiid dealing with a right ankle injury. Embiid played in his first back-to-back set of his career last week. If Embiid doesn't play, Amir Johnson and Richaun Holmes would see a boost in playing time.
Should Embiid play, numberFire projects him for 44.3 FanDuel points in 31.7 minutes.
