4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been cleared to suit up in Tuesday's game versus the Raptors and will not have his minutes restricted after missing Sunday's contest due to back tightness. Embiid has kicked off the year with back-to-back impressive double-doubles, having served as the focal point of the 76ers' offense. Tuesday's outing serves as an intriguing matchup for Embiid, who was held scoreless last year by the Raptors on Nov. 25, 2019, shooting a combined 3-for-18 from the field in two games against his division rivals. The Raptors have a completely new-look interior with Aron Baynes and Chris Boucher likely to guard Embiid, but the All-Star may be something of a tricky DFS asset when also factoring in his recent issues with a balky back.--Jesse Borek
