Joel Embiid scored 31points in 33 minutes of action on Saturday night in a 117-115 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Embiid shot 11-of-19 from the field and knocked down 8-of-12 free-throw shots. Embiid also had eight rebounds, six assists, one block, and three turnovers in the game.
Fantasy Impact
Embiid nearly missed the contest with back tightness, but managed to suit up for fantasy owners in a chippy back-and-forth matchup against OKC. Needless to say, he had another great game and is a must-play all the time. Look for Embiid to continue his incredible season on Monday night against the Houston Rockets, which should be a shootout full of fantasy greatness.
