PLAYER ANALYSIS
→ Stable 8 hours ago-
Joel Embiid has averaged 23.8 points, 5.8 assists, and 7.6 rebounds over his last five games, but his shooting efficiency has dipped, with a field goal percentage of 42.9% and a troubling three-point percentage of just 7.3%.
-
His recent performance coincides with the Sixers' efforts to bolster home court advantage against the Knicks, as highlighted by his call for fewer opposing fans in Philadelphia, indicating the psychological and strategic importance of crowd support in the playoffs.
Looking ahead, Embiid will need to regain his shooting touch if the 76ers hope to maintain momentum in the next game, particularly against a defensive team like the Knicks.
