Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $11,100

One of the few players within spitting distance of Davis, Joel Embiid ranks third in the NBA with 53.4 FanDuel points per game on the year.

It was clear in his first two seasons that Embiid was going to be a special fantasy producer. In his rookie season he ranked second in the NBA in FanDuel points per minute (minimum 500 minutes), and last year he ranked sixth.

This year he has finally been unleashed to play a full workload, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, and he still ranks fourth in per-minute fantasy efficiency.

He brings that into a great matchup tonight, taking on a New York Knicks team that allows top-12 fantasy efficiency to centers. The Knicks rank only 25th in defensive rating and a middling 14th in rebound rate, allowing the 7th-most points, 10th-most rebounds and most blocks per game to their opponents. They're also on the second half of a road-road back-to-back here.
