Joel Embiid Notches Ninth Double-Double
5 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid continued to rack up the fantasy numbers in a 113-86 win over the Miami Heat on Saturday night. Embiid racked up 23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and two steals on his way to his third-straight double-double performance. He now has seven double-doubles in nine November games and is an automatic start for all fantasy basketball managers in daily and season-long formats with his current run of form. Embiid is entering the holiday season averaging 22.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He has sat a game here or there throughout the season, but it's worth it when his production is this great. The 76ers have a four-game slate in Week 6, so there is a possibility that Embiid sits one of his matchups versus the Raptors, Kings, Knicks, and Pacers.
