Embiid is having a season, averaging a career-best 29.2 points per game while still pulling down 10.7 boards per game and dishing 2.9 assists. In combination with his defensive efforts, those metrics translate to an average of 50.5 FanDuel Fantasy Points per game. Embiid’s recent fantasy production has been inconsistent, but numberFire’s projections predict that he should still manage 49.5 tonight against the Miami Heat. Embiid is the highest salaried player on the express slate at FanDuel.
