Even if Jayson Tatum was also very good, with four wins over the week, the NBA quite logically chose Joel Embiid as “Player of the Week” for the Eastern Conference.
It must be said that after his match with 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks against the Jazz, the pivot of the Sixers posted averages of 40 points at 54% shooting success, 11 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 blocks on average. And Philadelphia won three of its four meetings (Phoenix, Atlanta, Utah) in the period.
In the West, it was less obvious, but the NBA finally opted for Stephen Curry. Golden State is not doing well at all but the point guard has nothing to be ashamed of, he who saved his team twice this week.
He thus posted averages of 38.0 points and 6.0 rebounds over the period, with 64.1% shooting success…
