Joel Embiid (illness) questionable for 76ers Sunday afternoon
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is questionable to play on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Lakers due to illness.
Embiid struggled through the issue on Friday, shooting 4-of-17 from the field for 15 points (4-of-17 field goals, 7-of-8 free throws), 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 4 blocks, and 4 turnovers over 33.4 minutes. He may be feeling better for Sunday's matchup after having some time to recover. Boban Marjanovic and Jonah Bolden would likely split most of the work at center if Embiid is unable to play.
Operating under the assumption Embiid plays, numberFire's models expect him to record 51.5 FanDuel points on Sunday, at a cost of $11,800.
