Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $10,000

The Philadelphia 76ers are playing without Joel Embiid (face) for the rest of the regular season, and that makes them a far more appealing fantasy matchup than they have been for most of the season.

The Sixers see their defensive rating increase (get worse) by 5.9 points with Embiid off the floor than when he's on, while their rebound rate also falls by 1.1% and they allow an effective field goal percentage 3.6% higher. For context, their 108.5 defensive rating without Embiid would rank bottom-10 among all NBA teams this season.

Andre Drummond's production has been pretty up-and-down with the addition of Blake Griffin and subtraction of a handful of former teammates. However, the big man has topped 50 FanDuel points three times in his last five games, averaging 50.0 in 35.0 minutes per game during that stretch. That's more than enough to offer great value with the solid matchup against the injury-depleted 76ers.
