NBA Team of the Week (Jan. 15 - Jan. 21)

Center - Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid will be appearing in his first ever All-Star game

Team record: 3-0

Player stats in the week: 29.7 ppg, 12 rpg on 54% shooting, +8.0 bpm, +6.6 net rating, 22.3 player impact estimate

This was one of the easier ones for the week. Philadelphia 76ers were unbelievable in the week defeating Raptors and Celtics. Embiid, arguably their most valuable player, was completely unbelievable on both ends of the floor. Philadelphia had a defensive rating of 99.1 with Embiid on the floor.

This week will be interesting for Philadelphia, with two of their four games taking place against the Spurs and the Thunder.

Other contenders for this position this week:

Steven Adams (2-0, 19 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 71% shooting, +20.0 bpm)

Dwight Howard (2-1, 17.7 ppg, 15.7 rpg, 3bpg, 67% shooting, +9.7 bpm)
