Joel Embiid put up a strong offensive showing in Friday's loss to Chicago, recording 31 points on 10-of-19 shooting. He was perfect from the charity stripe (9-of-9) and added five rebounds, one assist, one block, and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact:
However, the former MVP ran out of gas down the stretch, managing just four points on 1-of-4 shooting in the fourth quarter as the Sixers were outscored 28-17 in the final frame. Despite the team's late collapse, Embiid is trending up for fantasy managers; he is averaging 29.8 points over his last four games and has logged at least 30 minutes in each of those contests, signaling a return to his dominant scoring form.
