Winning a scoring title over LeBron and Giannis wouldn’t hurt Joel Embiid’s MVP case

Joel Embiid has just three games remaining to finalize his case for MVP.

One milestone, very much within his grasp, one piece of evidence he might submit the voters could be a Scoring Title. After his 45 point obliteration of Indiana front court players, Embiid’s points per game average is up to 30.42. That’s just a hair above LeBron James who sits at 30.27 PPG, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, at 29.89, according to nba.com.

It’s very very close.

The Sixers sit in 4th place in the East at 49-30, they’re tied with the Boston Celtics, 2.
