3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/25/19

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $10,400

On a short and relatively unexciting slate, Joel Embiid comes in at a $500 discount to Westbrook even as the more obvious play by the numbers. The Philadelphia 76ers possess an implied total (110.75) 4.55 points lower than their season average, yet they are one of four teams with a total above 110 as they stand 2.5-point road favorites against the Orlando Magic.

According to the oddsmakers, this Eastern Conference showdown is going to be the closest of the four games at our disposal. It's the only one with a spread under five, and in the teams' three other matchups this season the average margin has been 4.7 points. The Sixers won both in Philly while Orlando took a five-point win on their floor back in November.

Of course, Tobias Harris is now with the road Sixers, but that doesn't mean much for Embiid. The big man's usage rate is at 31.7% for the month of March, a six-game span in which he's averaged 29.2 points, 16.2 rebounds and 60.9 DraftKings points.

In his two games against the Magic, JoJo has racked up 55.9 DraftKings points per game behind a triple-double and a 32-point double-double. Our models have him exceeding the 50-fantasy-point mark yet again in what should be a hard-fought game between two of the NBA's most productive centers.
