Joel Embiid scores 30 points with 13 rebounds in full line as 76ers hold off Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 30 points (11-of-17 field goals, 5-of-8 free throws) with 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks, 3 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 34.5 minutes of Thursday's 116-115 win over the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Embiid also made all 3 of his 3-point attempts and it was encouraging to see him log such a heavy workload after being held below 24 minutes in two of the final four games before the All-Star break. The 76ers host the Orlando Magic on Saturday as they continue to make their push for a playoff spot in the East.

Embiid scored 73.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, his second-highest output of the season and significantly higher than his average of 43.8 FanDuel points per game for the season.
