Impact The James Harden-Embiid pairing has looked magnificent through the 76ers' first two games coming out of the All-Star break, with the 2017-18 NBA MVP and this season's current frontrunner for the award producing huge fantasy lines in both games. After going off for 34 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in Friday's blowout win over the Timberwolves, Embiid cranked things up a notch Sunday. Though he came up empty from distance and shot under 50 percent from the field, Embiid made up for it with the defensive production and the 23 made free throws, the most by any player in a single NBA game this season.
