Joel Embiid is averaging nine potential assists over his last seven games, and this is a strong matchup. The Cavs have given up 123, 134 and 131 points the past three games. In that span opponents have racked up 32 assists per game, second-most in the NBA.

Joel Embiid IS BACK! He’s had 20+ pts in 11 straight games (28.2 PPG over span). He has played 20 games this season (more than last season: 19 in 2024-25) and the 76ers are 6-2 in past 8 game. Go Philly GO!

FanDuel. Joel Embiid has finally started to look like… Joel Embiid. Off his minutes restriction, Embiid has cleared this line in eight of his last eleven games, with his rotation getting him up to 34-36 minutes. He gets a matchup against the Cavs, who have struggled a bit against skilled big men. Cleveland ranks 20th or worse against Embiid’s five main scoring playtypes, while they have been stronger against pick and roll ball-handlers (ranking 2nd). It’s a better matchup for Embiid than Tyrese Maxey, and I think the 76ers play through their big man in a primetime matchup tonight.
