76ers' Nerlens Noel: Another start, another productive night

Noel scored 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT) with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes in a 116-106 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Noel got his third consecutive start Wednesday and scored in double-figures again. He has now pushed that streak to four consecutive games, which is his longest double-figure scoring streak of the season. With Joel Embiid out with a knee injury and Jahlil Okafor getting spotty minutes, Noel has asserted himself as the most consistent fixture in the Sixers' big man carousel of late. If that trend continues, Noel elevates his status to low-to-mid tier starter in most fantasy formats thanks to his knack for checking off every box on the stat sheet most nights.
