Mike Scott starting for 76ers in place of Joel Embiid (finger) against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Mike Scott is starting on Thursday versus the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Scott is replacing Joel Embiid (finger) in the first unit. Embiid is out for at least 1-2 weeks, so Scott could be looking at multiple starts. He averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 3-pointers in four previous starts this season.

numberFire's models expect Scott to score 13.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. He's priced at $3,500.
