Embiid has progressed to the point where he’s played for three weeks in a row now without missing time due to injury. The 31-year-old center has mostly played over 30 minutes in those games, as well. That translated into good production Friday as Embiid had at least 22 points and at least nine rebounds for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided fifth-round value over the last two weeks in per game value. Embiid is in line for his fourth game this week against the Raptors Sunday.

Embiid most recently played 25 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, with his playing time being limited since the game was a blowout. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond would handle the available minutes at the center position if Embiid were to miss Friday’s game.

Embiid has been on a scoring tear recently, and this game kept that going. He only played 25 minutes, though he didn’t end up needing to play the fourth quarter for the 76ers to get the win. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has scored at least 25 in seven of those. Embiid still isn’t producing consistently in other categories, but he’s clearly still one of the best scoring options in the NBA.

Embiid is poised to play his fifth straight game, which is a welcomed surprise for fantasy managers after the big man logged 40 minutes in Monday’s loss to Denver. Embiid finished with 32/10/2 against the Nuggets, and he’ll look to build on that strong performance when he faces Washington.

Embiid has been available for Philadelphia’s last four games, most recently logging 40 minutes in Monday’s overtime loss to the Nuggets. While Wednesday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, the 76ers may view it as an opportunity to get their 7-footer a little time off. If Embiid sits, more playing time will be available to Adem Bona, and Andre Drummond may re-enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD on Monday.

Though availability has been an issue, Embiid has been productive when available this season. Recently, he’s been available, and the minutes have increased as well. He has played in four straight games, his longest stretch of the season. He’s also played at least 33 minutes in each, which is more than he has played in any other game this year. He played a season-high 40 minutes in this game, which led to his third double-double in four games. Don’t expect to see him play back-to-backs, but Embiid is in the midst of a strong stretch right now.

Embiid was initially listed as probable, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. This will be the fourth straight game that he has suited up for, which is his longest availability stretch of the season. He should feast on the Nuggets, who are without Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas.

While the 76ers continue to list Embiid on injury reports, he has been available for six of the team’s last seven games. And with the probable tag, “The Process” is likely to be on the floor Monday night. If Embiid cannot play, Andre Drummond may start, but Adem Bona has played more minutes recently.

Embiid had himself a night in New York, recording his third double-double of the season and second in his last three appearances. Due to the loss of athleticism, he’s unlikely to offer much fantasy value as a shot-blocker, but the offensive tools remain. Not only does a healthy Embiid benefit fantasy managers, but he makes the 76ers a legitimate factor in the East. The 76ers play four games in Week 12.

Embiid has now played at least 30 minutes in each of his last seven appearances. While that may not be a big deal for most players, it is for the former MVP, as he continues to labor through ankle and knee issues. The six assists that Embiid recorded on Thursday were two shy of his season-high, which was recorded in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies. He’ll look to end Week 11 on a high note when the 76ers visit the Knicks on Saturday.

After playing a season-high 38 minutes in Tuesday’s win, Embiid is expected to be available against Dallas. He had 34 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in that game and will look to stay hot in a matchup with Anthony Davis.

After missing Sunday’s game, Embiid was back in the lineup for this one. Despite battling his typical knee issues, an ankle injury and an illness, Embiid was able to score at least 30 points for the third time this season and for a second straight game. Embiid hasn’t been as aggressive on the glass this year, and this was only his second double-double this season. He also played a season-high 38 minutes and was still able to hit some big shots down the stretch. Assuming his body responds well, this is all great to see from Embiid.

Following a one-game absence, Embiid will be back in the lineup to take on Memphis. Along with his typical knee issues, he has also been dealing with a right ankle sprain and was also listed with an illness for this game. His return will push Andre Drummond back to the bench and take away minutes from Adem Bona.

The latest development for Embiid is that the 31-year-old center has added a right ankle sprain to his various ailments. If he can overcome his right ankle and right knee issues, he could return against the Grizzlies Tuesday. If not, Andre Drummond will start in his place again.

In addition to right knee injury management, Embiid will miss Sunday’s game due to a sprained right ankle. His absence once again opens up a spot in the starting lineup for Andre Drummond, who should be rostered whenever the 76ers are without their starting center.

Embiid’s second 30-point game of the season came in a losing effort. The former league MVP had performed well on the offensive end through three quarters, but with just four fourth-quarter points on 1-of-4 shooting, he was one of several Sixers who failed to deliver down the stretch, as they were outscored by the Bulls 17-28 in the frame before losing by seven points. But from a fantasy basketball standpoint, Embiid has shown signs of being the dominant scorer of recent seasons; he’s averaging 29.8 points per game over his last four appearances, and has logged at least 30 minutes in each.

With Barlow and Edgecombe back in the lineup, the Sixers’ opening unit will look different from the one that played in the team’s 114-106 loss to the Nets in its most recent game. Their returns move Jabari Walker and Jared McCain back to the Philadelphia bench, where they’ll join Quentin Grimes to form a stronger reserve unit. The Sixers lost their only other matchup with the Bulls back in November, but will have a chance to avenge it on Friday and inch closer to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Embiid is good to go after missing the 76ers’ last two games due to right knee injury management. His return means that Andre Drummond will come off the bench, where he boasts a lower fantasy ceiling.

After playing on one day’s rest for the first time this season, Embiid missed two games before returning to action on Tuesday against the Nets. With the 76ers also playing on Sunday against the Thunder, he may be limited to one more appearance this week. Andre Drummond should be rostered, even if Embiid is cleared to play on Friday.

Embiid finished the night with a nice stat line, but more important for the fantasy managers was that he returned after a third-quarter injury scare. The 7-footer appeared to tweak his right knee after crossing paths with Brooklyn’s Terance Mann. After a trip to the locker room, Embiid was back on the floor later in the quarter. Philadelphia doesn’t play again until Friday, giving Embiid a few days to rest his ailing knees.

No surprise here as Embiid was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. The 31-year-old center will miss a second game in row Saturday against the Mavericks. Andre Drummond had 14 points and 13 rebounds in Friday’s win over the Knicks and remains a great streaming option whenever Embiid is out.

Embiid hasn’t had a setback with his knee, but he’ll still miss Friday’s game against the Knicks with an illness. In the 31-year-old center’s absence, Andre Drummond should move into the starting lineup and be a streaming option in most fantasy leagues.

While Embiid’s landing on the injury report is bad news, the fact that it’s due to an illness and not his knees is a positive. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the resulting vacancy in the starting lineup will be filled by Andre Drummond.
