3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/4/19

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $10,300

OK, OK. I was being a little harsh when I said Giannis was the best by far. While we do have him projected for 6.8 more DraftKings points than Embiid, the Sixers' big man has shown his quality production -- and then some -- against the Bucks this year.

Embiid has been rested each of the past three games as the Sixers were on the road, as the team is hoping to have him at full strength for the playoffs. While the lineups haven't been officially set for tonight, it's hard to imagine him not stepping back onto the court in a marquee matchup against the Bucks at home.

With the numbers Embiid has put up against them this season, you'd have justifiably thought nobody could have scored higher in those contests. Embiid put up 70.25 DraftKings points when the Eastern Conference powerhouses met in October and followed that up with an even better 78.75 DraftKings points in mid March. While that trails Giannis' 81.5 and 91.0 in those games, it's still pretty dang good.

We have Embiid projected to play and finish with 53.7 DraftKings points tonight. He has the skills to surpass that level of output whenever he wants to. While he may not be the top play of the night, he's a close second.
