Joel Embiid flirted with a double-double for the 76ers Saturday, grabbing six rebounds and scoring a team-high 29 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3PT, 10-13 FT) while also blocking two shots and dishing out two assists in a 118-114 win over the Hornets.
Fantasy Impact:
Embiid continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor since returning from injury, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing six or more rebounds, and scoring 29 or more points in each of his last two games. The center continues to provide head coach Nick Nurse with a dynamic option as part of a talented Philadelphia starting five, averaging 26.9 points, 4.0 assists, and 7.5 rebounds per game while posting a 33.8% usage rate so far this season.
