6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid dominated during his squad’s win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, collecting 37 points and a career-high 22 rebounds. Embiid was potentially spurred on by having been on the receiving end of a Flagrant 2 foul at the hands of Marcus Smart during the third quarter, going on to finish 20-for-21 from the free-throw stripe, with the 20 makes setting a new career best. Celtics defensive stopper Aron Baynes left the game early due to injury, which paved the way for Embiid to feast. He has the potential to do so again Saturday when he squares off with the Atlanta Hawks, who are allowing the most fantasy points per game to opponents this season.--Jesse Borek
