Joel Embiid With Another Big Showing In Loss To Portland
4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 35 points on 13-for-25 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. In addition, he grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots. Embiid also posted three assists while going 1-for-2 from deep and 8-for-11 from the line. He'll play the Suns on Saturday, who allow opponents to grab the 11th-fewest rebounds per game while holding them to the ninth-lowest two-point field goal percentage in the NBA. Not a great matchup for Embiid, but he's playing at an MVP level and DFS players should still make sure they have some exposure to the star big.
