3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/29/19

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $10,200

After a day of rest on Saturday, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will be fresh and ready to go in a big away matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

Despite being without LeBron James since Christmas day, the Lakers enter tonight's game just 1.5 games out of the Western Conference playoff race and will be raring to go tonight in what should be one of the top two scoring games of the night.

Embiid has faced the Lakers thrice in his career. He scored just 26.5 DraftKings points in his first meeting against them in 2016, but he turned in two absolutely dominant efforts in his subsequent two, scoring 90.75 and 61.75 DraftKings points, respectively.

After a down (for him) December, in which he averaged 49.6 DraftKings points, Embiid has put up averages of 29.5 points, 13.5 boards, 2.3 blocks, and 58.0 DraftKings points in January, which is the fourth-best average in the league this month behind only Harden, Anthony Davis, and Westbrook. We project The Process to score 52.2 DraftKings points tonight.
