Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid made easy work of the Pistons on Tuesday night, scoring a game-high 37 points on 12-for-22 shooting in a 120-102 win. He was 4-for-9 with the three-ball and finished 9-for-10 at the free-throw line while collecting 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and two blocks across 36 minutes. Embiid was seen hobbling a bit in the game, but there hasn't been any official word on a possible injury, so he should be good to go for the final couple of games. We could see a pair of monster performances from Embiid against Brooklyn and Orlando as Philadelphia faces a desperate battle to avoid the play-in tournament.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play against Detroit on Tuesday. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. This will be Embiid's fourth appearance since he returned from a left knee injury. The reigning MVP has filled it up with 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.3 steals since his comeback despite averaging only 28.3 minutes. He's averaged over 36 points and 13 rebounds against the Pistons in 2023-24 and should feast again against a weak frontcourt.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Pistons. The 76ers are at least guaranteed a Play-In spot, so the reigning MVP could miss another contest. Truth be told, Philly doesn't really need him versus the 13-win Pistons. But if Embiid is ruled out, Paul Reed would continue to receive additional interest from DFS managers. In addition, Tyrese Maxey (hip), coming off a 52-point showing on Sunday in the win over the Spurs, would be a popular fantasy option for all DFS contests, assuming he plays, if Embiid misses another contest.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs. The reigning MVP recently returned from a lengthy layoff caused by a knee injury. However, he's played well since getting back on the floor, averaging 27.7 points, 7.3 steals, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals. But Philly will at least make the Play-In, so Embiid will get a night off to rest before likely suiting up on Tuesday against the Pistons. As a result, Mo Bamba, averaging 6.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, has value potential for DFS participants.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to left knee recovery. After missing 29 games, the big man returned for two consecutive contests, leading the 76ers to victories. On Thursday, Embiid posted 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal against the Heat. Philadelphia could be very shorthanded on Saturday, with Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee), and Mo Bamba (illness) also carrying questionable tags.
