The NBA regular season is coming to a close and the race for the scoring title is heating up. Two of the league’s brightest stars, Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid and Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, are neck and neck in the final week of the season.
Embiid, the 7-foot center from Cameroon, is averaging 29.9 points per game this season, good for second in the league. He has been a dominant force in the paint, using his size and strength to overpower defenders. Embiid is also a threat from beyond the arc, shooting 37.7 percent from three-point range. He has been a key part of the 76ers’ success this season, leading them to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Doncic, the Slovenian phenom, is averaging 28.7 points per game, just behind Embiid. He has been a triple-double machine this season, recording 15 so far. Doncic is a masterful playmaker, often finding open teammates with his pinpoint passing. He has also been deadly from deep, shooting 35.8 percent from three-point range. Doncic has been a major factor in the Mavericks’ success this season, leading them to the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
Both Embiid and Doncic have had remarkable seasons and have put themselves in contention for the scoring title in the final week of the regular season. It will be an exciting race to watch as both players look to finish strong and claim the title. Whoever comes out on top will be remembered as one of the best scorers in NBA history.
