Sixers starting Joel Embiid (illness) in Thursday's lineup, Mike Scott to bench
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is starting in Thursday's contest against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Embiid will start at the five after a recent illness forced Philadelphia's star to miss one game. In a difficult matchup against a Miami team ranked fifth in points allowed per game this season, our models project Embiid to score 49.5 FanDuel points at the salary of $9,500.
