Joel Embiid (PHI) UNDER 48.5 PRA, -120 FanDuel

Line movement notes: Would play this number to -135. Would play U37.5 for a half unit. 
  • Embiid is averaging 44.3 PRA in 33.1 minutes
  • He’s cleared this line in 14/39 games at a rate of 36%
  • The MVP candidate has struggled a bit on the road and failed to clear our line in five of the past six road games and has struggled even more in losing efforts
  • Dallas are ranked 19th for PRA against centers this season
  • They haven’t met yet this season but managed to keep him under on both meetings last season (0-2)
  • The Mavericks are the second-slowest team in the league, running 99.3 possessions per game, behind only the Knicks
  • They’re slight favorites in this (-1.5pts), which is not so good for Embiid as he’s 0-13 in road losses over the past 2 seasons and 0-4 this season
  • Another thing working in our favor is that the total for this game is only 212.0 pts – the lowest on the slate. So even if Dallas can’t get up, still not expecting a high scoring shootout
