Joel Embiid (foot) returning to 76ers' lineup Monday against Atlanta
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is in the starting lineup on Monday versus the Atlanta Hawks.
Embiid is ready to return from a four-game absence. He is replacing Montrezl Harrell in the starting lineup and is expected to handle a full workload. Embiid's return means fewer opportunities on offense for Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, and Shake Milton. There will also be reduced minutes for Harrell, Paul Reed, and Georges Niang.
Embiid is numberFire's highest-projected scorer on Monday (56.3 FanDuel points) and he also has the highest salary on the Main slate ($11,400). Per our NBA Heat Map, the 76ers' implied total (111.25) is No. 14 out of 20 active teams today and the over/under in the game (221.0) is second-lowest on the board.
