Joel Embiid logs heavy minutes again in win

Joel Embiid battled through lingering ankle and knee issues to help anchor Thursday’s win over the Mavericks, finishing with 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, and one block.
Fantasy Impact:
While the rebounding total was modest, the most encouraging sign for fantasy managers was Embiid's workload. He has now played at least 30 minutes in seven consecutive games, a positive indicator of his durability despite the nagging injuries. He also continued to facilitate well, with his six assists falling just two shy of his season-high set earlier in the week. Embiid will look to cap off the week strong when the 76ers visit the Knicks on Saturday.
