Joel Embiid could do no wrong on Sunday, finishing with
59 points (19-for-28 FGs, 20-for-24 FTs),
10 rebounds,
8 assists,
1 steal,
7 blocks, one triple and five turnovers in a 105-98 win over Utah.
Less than an hour after Darius Garland became the first player to score 50 points this season, Embiid surpassed his 51 by scoring a career-high 59 points. He also tied his career high in blocks while
becoming the first player to finish a game with 50 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks in an NBA game since they started recording blocks. Statistically, this was the best game of Embiid's career and fantasy managers either reaped the benefits or suffered because of him.
