Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid reeled off his 17th consecutive double-double during Mondays loss to the Orlando Magic, logging 20 points and 10 rebounds. By Embiids standards, it was a quiet performance when also factoring in his five turnovers. His 10 rebounds are his fewest during his streak and mark his fewest in a contest since Jan. 19. With a playoff spot secured, how much Embiid plays down the stretch is up in the air, but hell have a golden match-up Thursday versus Brooklyn should he suit up, as the Nets have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season, with Embiid having double-doubles in all three prior meetings.
