Odds I see:

Jokic +210
Luka +400
Embiid +425
SGA +900
Giannis +900

Might be Luka's turn. It's completely splitting hairs between those top 3. All of their numbers are ridiculous.

Games played 12/18

Embiid - 37 min, 14 reb, 6 ast, 2 blk, 40 pts
Oubre - 24 min, 3 reb, 1 stl, 6 pts
MCMo - DNP Ill(y)
Dick - DNP CD (Coach Decision not Cheese Dick)
MKMo - 13 min, 3 reb, 2 pts
Braun - 20 min, 4 reb, 1 ast, 6 pts
JWil - 8 min, 5 pts
Och - 23 min, 3 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 13 pts

I guess it’s a certain relief that Gradey didn’t play cuz of his coach’s decision, and not not cuz he’s suffering from cheese dick

Embiid you good?

Got the shot up and didn't land on a wrist, a knee or hit his head. Perfectly executed.

What's up with Vonte?
He can't get minutes for a 4 win Spurs team?
Come on Pop.

Yeah, I don't get it. Back on November 9th I posted....
"Is Devonte ever going to be Devonte again? I don't know what Pop is doing. Dude started 8 of 20 games for them last season and averaged 26.4 minutes per game, 13 points, and 4 assists. Now he can't even get off the bench".

Pop is playing Sochan a lot of minutes at PG. Then there is Tre Jones. And Malaki Branham is also ahead of him. I am assuming it's mostly due to his defense, but also because he's almost 30 with limited ceiling compared to Sochan Jones and Branham.

The devonte thing is weird because the spurs guard play is awful. But they are committed to developing the young talent. Sochan is similar to Ben Simmons where he's a point forward that doesn't shoot very well but is a big athlete with ball skills

Devonte was putting up good numbers in Charlotte before signing a 4 year deal with new Orleans. Then the pelicans traded for cj McCollum it cut way into Grahams role.

I thought he could play a lot and be a good mentor for this Youngs spurs team...

Maybe he can get traded somewhere that needs a back up that he can help win now

Maybe that is exactly what he is doing in SA. You don't have to play during games to mentor young players.

You're right that's absolutely true. And knowing devonte I'm sure he is. But I meant while playing alongside them during games lol

Embiid: “I’ve scored at least 30 points and gotten 10 rebounds in 13 straight games!”

Wilt: “Hold my beer.”

The 30-10 streak is the longest in the NBA since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did it for 16 straight games in 1971-72. Just two other players in league history have recorded 30 points and 10 rebounds in at least 13 straight -- Elgin Baylor (15 straight in 1961-62) and Wilt Chamberlain (six different times).
