Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The 76ers are on the front end of a back-to-back and they may decide to hold Embiid out. Mike Scott has been the preferred starter at center with Embiid out. Dwight Howard would also see more work if Embiid doesn't play.
Scott is averaging 13.3 FanDuel points as a starter for the 76ers this season and Dwight is averaging 27.5 with Embiid sidelined. numberFire's models currently project Embiid for 51.9 FanDuel points on Friday and he has a $9,600 salary on the 10-game slate.
