Ad

Joel Embiid has probably been the biggest star of the 76ers team this season, carrying them along with his teammates, Ben Simmons and their newest addition, Jimmy Butler, to the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference.

They have a 22-12 record and are just 2.5 games behind the top seeded Toronto Raptors. They have won their last 2 games and are 6-4 in their last 10 and Embiid has to be thanked for their form this season.

In the last game, a big win over the Toronto Raptors, Embiid scored a massive 27 points, along with 11 rebounds and dishing out an assist as well. He even had a steal and a block too.

If the 76ers want revenge for their loss against the Celtics in the first game of the season, they need Embiid firing on all cylinders.

Alternate pick: Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
