Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $10,900

The Philadelphia 76ers have Thursday's highest implied total (117.5) in a matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers are playing at the league's eighth-fastest pace this season, so while their rebound rate doesn't stack up terribly (16th) and they rank sixth in defensive rating, they're still allowing 110 points and 45 rebounds per game to their opponents. Neither of those are terrible marks, but they are the kind of middle-of-the-pack rankings that shouldn't serve to scare you off from a fantasy stud like Joel Embiid.

Embiid has only had one true dud this year, topping 42 Fan Duel points in seven of his eight games. His last five have been especially good, topping 50 in four of the five, which includes a pair of 60-plus games.

His 52.0 FanDuel points per game rank fourth in the NBA, but he continues to be priced below $11,000, not at all reflecting that he's one of the league's top fantasy producers.
