Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $9,900

You can get Joel Embiid for under $10,000 on DraftKings tonight? Sign. Me. Up.

Like Giannis, the All-Star is in the midst of a career year, and the jump from year two to three hasn't been small. After averaging a very solid 22.9 points and 11.0 boards a season ago, Embiid has moved into superstar status with averages of 27.2 points (sixth in the league) and 13.6 boards (second in the league).

Tonight, he faces off against a Sacramento Kings team he thrashed earlier this season to the tune of 29 points, 17 boards, 4 blocks, and 62.75 DraftKings points. He's averaging 1.53 DraftKings points per minute across three career meetings against them, which is right about where our models have him this evening.

We currently project the potential first team All-NBA Team member to score 52.5 DraftKings points tonight, the third-highest total on the slate behind only Giannis and James Harden.
