  • 64-115-1 12th Place
    • 39-point effort not enough Thursday
      Embiid provided 39 points (12-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 118-115 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Embiid was clearly not 100 percent healthy throughout the series, and the limitations were more noticeable as the series progressed but still posted outstanding stat lines, scoring 29 or more points in four of the six contests. He also recorded three double-doubles and a triple-double, but he couldn't do the heavy lifting on his own in the games where Tyrese Maxey struggled. Between the Play-In win over the Heat and the first-round series against the Knicks, Embiid averaged 31.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.3 blocks across 41.0 minutes per game.

    • Joel Embiid posts 39/13/2/1/1 line in Game 6 loss
      Joel Embiid played 40 minutes in Thursday’s 118-115 loss to the Knicks, tallying 39 points (12-of-25 FGs, 13-of-13 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: While Embiid’s production tailed off during the fourth quarter, last season’s MVP was a warrior in this series. He played through a left knee that did not look fully healed, and a case of Bell’s palsy didn’t help matters, either. Health has been the story throughout Embiid’s career, with availability being the most significant issue. The productivity will be there, so The Process will remain an early first-round pick in most fantasy drafts in the fall. However, the emergence of Victor Wembanyama knocks Embiid down a peg to where he may no longer be a lock to come off the board within the first five picks. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:27 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) available for Game 6 Thursday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is active for Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Embiid will play as the 76ers look to extend this series to a decisive seventh game. Should he encounter any flare-ups with the knee, Paul Reed would be the next man up in the rotation. Rotoworld Thursday, 5:33 pm
       
    • Available for Game 6
      Embiid (knee) is available and starting in Game 6 against the Knicks on Thursday.

      Advice: This is not a surprise considering the situation the 76ers are in, as Philadelphia must win this game to force a decisive Game 7. Embiid is averaging 31.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game in the first-round series against the Knicks. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:33 pm
       
    • Available for Game 6
      Robinson (ankle) will be available for Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson logged 25 minutes in his return Tuesday, so he should see a similar workload in Game 6. With Robinson back in the mix, Precious Achiuwa will likely be out of the rotation. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:32 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 6 Thurs.
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson was not wearing a walking boot on his left foot when he arrived at the arena, which was the first sign he would play. The Knicks’ backup center has officially been cleared to play in Game 6, ensuring New York has both of its preferred options in the middle. Isaiah Hartenstein remains the starter.

    • Al Horford posts modest line in Game 5 victory
      Al Horford played 23 minutes in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Heat, finishing with eight points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one 3-pointers.

      Advice: The Celtics were without Kristaps Porzingis, who suffered a strained right soleus muscle during Game 4. As was the case throughout the regular season, Horford moved into the starting lineup. The veteran big man didn’t have to do much, as Boston got off to a hot start and never looked back in their decisive win over the Heat. Ending this series in five games gets the Celtics additional rest, especially if the Cleveland/Orlando series goes the distance. With Porzingis unlikely to return before the conference finals (should Boston advance that far), Horford will serve as the starting center in the second round. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable for Game 6 Thurs.
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid remains on the injury report, but the good news is that the migraine headache is no longer an issue. Look for him to log heavy minutes as the 76ers attempt to force a decisive seventh game. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:32 pm
       
    • Starting sans Porzingis
      Horford will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Heat.

      Advice: Horford played 34 minutes in Game 4 with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) going down with an injury in the first half. With Porzingis sidelined Wednesday -- and likely longer -- Horford will step into the starting center role, where he's expected to remain until Porzingis returns. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:11 pm
