4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 23 points on 5-for-20 shooting in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. In addition, he grabbed nine rebounds and blocked one shot. Embiid also posted four assists and two steals. He'll play the Cavaliers on Saturday, who allow opponents to grab the 12th-fewest rebounds in the NBA while shooting the 16th-highest percentage from two-point range. Much of the damage done against the Cavs has come from three, and while Embiid was 2-for-5 in this game, we can't expect him to shoot too many threes. He's still a strong fantasy play, but maybe not the absolute best play on the slate.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
