Embiid hit a three-pointer with 29.2 seconds remaining to push Philadelphia's lead to 124-117 — the margin that held as the final score — despite taking an inadvertent hit to his right ribs in the second quarter. He finished with 26 points (8-of-20 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two three-pointers.

 Utah deployed smaller defenders on Jokić for most of Monday's game, and it showed — he finished with 22 points (6-of-11 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks, leaning heavily on the free-throw line to prop up the scoring total.

Notes 
 The model nudges him up again in points (2,071 to 2,235) and assists (716 to 777) with steady boards (892 to 899) and elite efficiency (FG% ~.58). Turnovers rise modestly on huge usage, but the across-the-board dominance remains unmatched. He's the safest No. 1 in standard builds and a categorical cheat code in roto.
Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
Embiid's projection nearly triples his 2024 output thanks to more games played (452 to 1,510 PTS; 155 to 499 REB). The efficiency remains elite, and his block/stocks are still strong. As always, health is the swing factor, but on a per-game basis he's still a top-5 fantasy stud.
