Fantasy Impact:

“Once Joel has that fitness space, we get a 3 week runway, I’m looking for Joel to come in as good a shape as he has been in since we’ve gotten him,” Brown said. Over a month ago, Brown also said that Embiid could see 38+ minutes when the season resumed. If Embiid were fully healthy and in the best shape of his career, Philadelphia could be a wrecking ball in the playoffs. With Embiid on the court, the Sixers are a much more dominant team. He could make for an intriguing play in DFS contests should he see upwards of 38 minutes per game in the coming months.
