Melton has now scored in double digits in four straight games and 13 of his last 14 appearances. He came into Friday's game averaging a career-high 13.2 points per game.

Tyrese Maxey - Scores 30 in winMaxey provided 30 points (8-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 125-114 victory over the Hawks.

ImpactMaxey scored 30 points for the third time in four games and was second on the team in scoring behind reigning MVP Joel Embiid (38 points). Maxey entered Friday's game averaging career highs in scoring (26.9 points), assists (6.7) and rebounds (4.4) and free throw attempts (5.4). Maxey has stepped up as the clear second option for the 76ers after the trade of James Harden and the former is making a strong case for the Most Improved Player award.

Joel Embiid - Dominates in winEmbiid ended Friday's 125-114 victory over Atlanta with 38 points (12-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.

ImpactEmbiid entered Friday's game as the leading scorer in the NBA, averaging 33.1 points per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor. His 38 points against Atlanta was a game-high and was the seventh straight time the reigning MVP has scored 30-plus points in a game, thanks in large part to his contributions at the free throw line. He'll continue to make his case for back-to-back MVP honors Monday against the struggling Wizards.

Bogdanovic joined De'Andre Hunter and Dejounte Murray as the three Atlanta starters to score 20-plus points in the contest. Bogdanovic did struggle from beyond the arc, but his nine rebounds were a season-high. If Young is unable to go Friday in a rematch against the 76ers, expect Bogdanovic to see extended playing time again.
