Joel has averaged 38.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks over his last four games while leading the Sixers to a 4-0 record vs. the Pacers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Wizards. Before the Pacers game, the Sixers also got a crucial win against the Milwaukee Bucks, where Joel Embiid finished with 31 points and ten assists.

Embiid leads the entire league in scoring while nearing a career-high in APG as well. Joel is averaging 33.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.6 blocks in 54 games this season with a 53.9/35.4/.85.4 shooting split.

Joel Embiid is now a 3-time winner of the POTW award this season and is sneakily catching up to Nikola Jokic (fraud) in the MVP race. Although Jokic (-190) still leads in odds, Embiid is catching up, going from +290 to +210 in just a few days.
