Joel Embiid Bolsters His MVP Case Against Cavaliers
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid became the betting favorite for MVP overnight after leading the team to a quality win that gave them a firm grip on the third seed in the East. The 29-year-old from Cameroon dropped 36 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and four blocks while shooting 12-for-19 from the floor, 2-for-5 from deep, and 10-for-10 from the free throw line. The big man has been on an absolute tear over the last few weeks and he's scored less than 20 points only three times this season. In the last seven games, he's averaging 36.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game.
