3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/4/18

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $11,000

As mentioned above, Embiid is the only player with more 60-plus FanDuel point games than Anthony Davis this season. His six are twice as many as anyone except Davis has put up this year.

He has shown something of a low floor for a guy in this price range, with 42 or fewer FanDuel points in four of his last nine games, but his ceiling is as high as anyone, and he exploded for a season-high 78.6 just three games ago.

Finally being fully unleashed and playing 35.1 minutes per game, we're seeing Embiid post big numbers all over the stat sheet this year. He's averaging 28.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 blocks per game while sporting a 31.9% usage rate, 19.8% total rebound rate and 18.4% assist rate. Those assist and rebound rates are the highest marks of his young career.

He's not likely to slow down in tonight's matchup against Orlando either. The Magic allow above-average fantasy numbers to opposing centers, while they sit a mediocre 17th in defensive rating and allow the league's third-most rebounds per 100 possessions.
