Dominant Joel Embiid is soaring to new heights as a scoring title is within reach for the Sixers centerThis is what Joel Embiid has come to expect.
Shake Milton - Solid stat line off benchMilton finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five assists and three rebounds across 20 minutes Saturday in the 76ers' 103-93 win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactAfter missing 18 consecutive games with a back contusion, Milton was available for both ends of the 76ers' weekend back-to-back set. Head coach Doc Rivers had no hesitation about reintegrating Milton in the rotation for both games, with the fourth-year guard clearing 20 minutes in both contests. The 76ers were missing the newly acquired James Harden (hamstring) for both of those contests, however, so Milton could be at risk of seeing his playing time cut drastically whenever the 10-time All-Star is cleared to make his Philadelphia debut.

Paul Reed - Steps in as backup centerReed recorded six points (3-8 FG), seven rebounds and three steals across 15 minutes Saturday in the 76ers' 103-93 win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactFor the second game in a row, Reed served as the main backup to Joel Embiid following Thursday's blockbuster trade that sent Andre Drummond to the Nets. Despite being an undersized for the position at a listed 6-foot-9 and 218 pounds, Reed has put up quality numbers across the past two contests, averaging 6.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 14.0 minutes. While he looks to have leapfrogged rookie Charles Bassey on the depth chart at center, Reed may not stick in the rotation once Paul Millsap -- whom the 76ers acquired in that same deal Thursday -- is cleared to make his team debut.
