Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid recorded at least 30 points for a fifth consecutive outing on Sunday, putting up 35 points on 12-for-21 shooting in a 113-112 win against the Lakers. Embiid, who was 2-for-5 with the three-ball and 9-for-12 at the foul line, also made a massive impact defensively, forcing Russell Westbrook into a bad shot in the final seconds of the game. He collected his 11th rebound from the situation, and Embiid capped off his line with four assists, one steal and one block. Nobody seems to be able to stop Embiid right now, and his run of 30-point games might continue for a while, with the Clippers, Portland and Sacramento coming up on the schedule -- all three have poor defensive numbers against opposing centers.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid returned from a three-game absence in explosive fashion as he dominated the Detroit Pistons in a 147-116 win on Tuesday. The superstar center dropped 36 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks while shooting 12-for-20 from the floor and 11-for-11 from the charity stripe. Embiid was back to knocking down any shot he wanted from the post and enjoyed a lot of easy buckets that were set up by James Harden. He remains an elite fantasy option every time he plays.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play and start against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. Embiid was questionable to play with foot soreness but will play through the discomfort, ending a three-game absence. If Embiid is limited in any way, Montrezl Harrell and P.J. Tucker would likely pick up the slack.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness. In his absence, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed have picked up additional playing time. Both players have been doing well, but Harrell is the more consistent option between the two of them.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) won't play on Sunday against Detroit, marking his third consecutive absence. The big man is battling foot soreness, although it doesn't seem to be anything serious, so hopefully, he'll be back for Tuesday's rematch in Philly.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man missed Wednesday's game as well due to right foot soreness. The expectation is that Tyrese Maxey will remain in the starting five for Friday. Although, it's worth noting that Montrezl Harrell recorded 19 points with four blocks in 28 minutes of action on Wednesday. He is a risky fantasy play, but should have increased value while Embiid is off the court. The Sixers don't have many options, so Harrell is likely to play close to 30 minutes.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Indiana due to a sore left foot. The absence marks the first for Embiid since Nov. 27, paving the way for Paul Reed, Georges Niang and Montrezl Harrell to play elevated roles in the frontcourt. Without Embiid and his 33.5 PPG in the mix, James Harden, Tobias Harris and De'Anthony Melton all have elevated scoring upsides in their own right against a Pacers unit that is in the bottom third of the league in defensive efficiency. Embiid was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December, with his next chance to suit up coming Friday against the Bulls.

Prior to Monday's meeting with New Orleans, he was on the injury report with a back problem and Embiid now has a sore left foot. He had no trouble playing through injury against the Pelicans, going off for 42 points, and it's possible that he won't be bothered by his latest ailment either. However, if that's not the case and Embiid sits out the game, Montrezl Harrell is looking at his sixth start of the campaign and Paul Reed has a chance to play an active role in the rotation. Harrell has done well with the starting unit, averaging 11.8 points and 7.2 rebounds.

He was 2-for-3 from downtown and 10-for-10 at the line, collecting one steal and one block on the defensive end.

The superstar big man was considered questionable earlier in the day due to back soreness. It appears he's good to go and shouldn't be limited during this contest.

Fantasy managers should make sure Embiid in their lineups for this game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man is dealing with lower back soreness, so this will likely be more of a game-time decision. His absence would mean more playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed. Neither of them are great fantasy options, but Harrell is the better choice between the two. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Embiid.

Fantasy managers are hopeful for better days ahead with the Sixers next game coming on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
