Over his last five games, Embiid is averaging 30.4 points per game which is up from his season average of 24.4. The big fella has taken games over and has thrown the Sixers on his back at times in recent games.

Joel Embiid totaled 28 points and 12 rebounds in three quarters as the Philadelphia 76ers overcame an extremely early 11-point deficit and rolled to a 123-94 victory over the short-handed Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night in New York.

Ziaire Williams had 19 points and Keon Johnson chipped in 15 for the short-handed Nets, who have lost 12 out of their last 16 games. Brooklyn was playing without starters Cam Thomas (left strained ankle),

This Sixers jumped out to an early lead against the Nets and never looked back. They'd go on to finish their road trip on a high note, winning by a final score of 123-94. For most of the season, Guerschon Yabusele has been a key contributor for the supporting cast.
