3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/8/19

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $11,500

Not showing the floor that Westbrook has, with three games of fewer than 40 FanDuel points within his last eight, Joel Embiid's ceiling more than makes up for it.

He has gone off for at least 60 FanDuel points 5 times in his last 11 games (including three of his last four), and just two games ago, he erupted for 77.6 FanDuel points -- his second-highest mark of the year. Only two players have more games of 60-plus FanDuel points this year than Embiid's 12.

His matchup tonight is also a very soft one as the Washington Wizards allow the slate's second-most (and NBA's sixth-most) FanDuel points per minute to opposing centers. They own the worst rebound rate and fourth-worst defensive rating in the NBA, and they compound those issues by playing at the ninth-fastest pace. Embiid cooked the Wiz for 16 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks in only 22.3 minutes the first time these two teams met this year.
