Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $10,800

Since playing a career-high 35.8 minutes on November 13th, Joel Embiid has topped 30 minutes in seven of nine games, giving him an average of 32.0 per contest over his last 10.

Finally getting big minutes has meant an explosion in fantasy value for Embiid, who has never had any troubles with efficiency. Among players with at least 150 minutes played, he ranks fifth in points (27.7) and ninth in rebounds (13.8) while adding 3.7 assists and 3.0 combined steals and blocks per 36 minutes. That puts him fourth in the NBA with 53.8 FanDuel points per 36 minutes.

He hasn't played since Monday, so we can expect him to see a full complement of minutes. He's in a particularly good spot against the Los Angeles Lakers, who play at the league's fastest pace and have allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing centers.
