Joel Embiid

C, Philadelphia Sixers

Joel Embiid played well vs. the Rockets on Friday, tallying 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 33 minutes.

Embiid did not come into the game with four minutes and change left in the fourth quarter and the Rockets' lead down to seven. Philly went small but got out-played by Houston down the stretch. Embiid is a top-15 play when he's on his game and as long as he's playing in B2Bs, will be a fantasy force all season long.
