The Sixers defeated the Pacers by a score of 141-121 on Saturday night, marking their eighth consecutive victory.
In 30 minutes of play, Joel Embiid scored 31 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT), grabbed 7 rebounds, dished out sev7 en assists, and blocked 2 shots.
The 76ers have won eight in a row and are in first place in the Eastern Conference thanks to Embiid’s late-season dominance.
He’s now scored 30 points in nine consecutive games, making him a leading candidate for league MVP. On Monday, the first of four games he has scheduled for the following week, he will take on Chicago.

The 76ers beat the Hornets 121-82 on Friday. In 29 minutes, Embiid scored 38 points (16-21 FG, 6-7 FT), grabbed 13 boards, gave out five assists, and blocked four shots.
Spin: Embiid dominated the game on both ends of the court and was head and shoulders above everyone else. The 76ers took control of this game early on, which gave Embiid more time to rest in the second half.
After having the best season of his career, Embiid is in the running for MVP. This would be a good thing to happen. If you look ahead to next season, there’s no reason why Embiid won’t be one of the top three picks in fantasy drafts again.
UPDATE (Mar. 17):
During Wednesday’s 118-109 win over the Cavaliers, Joel Embiid had 36 points (12-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 18 rebounds, four blocks, and three assists in 38 minutes of play.
In a late push of his own, Joel Embiid scored 36 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for the winning team.
Embiid thought he had fouled out with just over four minutes left, but the call was overturned after a coach challenged it, much to the dismay of the Cleveland crowd.
The big man had already scored 30 or more points in six consecutive games heading into Wednesday’s matchup against Cleveland. The Cavaliers had no answer for “The Process,” and Embiid was a game-changer from the get-go.
Embiid is on pace to finish with career highs in points per game (33.5) and field-goal percentage (54.1 percent).
UPDATE (Mar. 15):
Joel Embiid continued his streak of leading the 76ers in scoring with 34 points against the Wizards on Sunday. He’s kept up his incredible season by scoring at least 39 points in each of the last three games.
Embiid averages 33.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game for the 76ers, making him the team’s top scorer, rebounder, and facilitator.
UPDATE (Mar. 10):
On Tuesday, the Sixers capped off a good road trip with a 117-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. They went on a five-game road trip and won four of them.
Embiid once again played at a high level and produced a performance worthy of a Most Valuable Player award after only three quarters.
UPDATE (Mar. 07):
Joel Embiid scored 42 points against the Pacers, his eleventh 40-point game of the season. The Sixers’ central defender helped the team’s cause with a few steals and a block. The only bummer is that this is Embiid’s third straight game with fewer than 10 boards.
