He supplied 31 points and seven boards in his last game.

The model also knows Denver center Nikola Jokic (probable) will be matched up against Embiid. Jokic has superb playmaking ability and scores at will offensively. The two-time MVP ranks fourth in the league in both rebounds (11.9) and assists (9) while dropping 26.3 points per game. On Jan. 23 against the Pacers, Jokic finished with 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists.
