Joel Embiid shot 12-of-22 from the field and 10-of-15 from the foul line in Sunday’s 119-112 win over the Knicks, scoring 35 points with eight rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes.
Embiid shot just 4-of-10 from the field in the first half and 6-of-9 in the third quarter with each attempt coming from 19 feet or closer.
Embiid finished with the third 30-point Christmas Day effort of his career and continues to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball and the NBA.
