NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Tuesday (12/13)

The scheduling has been wacky at times this season, but we’re loving the start of this week. We had seven games on Monday and have five games making up this Tuesday card. That’s the perfect amount for DFS because it’s not too many to get lost in and just enough to diversify your lineups. There’s still plenty to discuss though, so let’s get into the schedule!

Core Plays

Joel Embiid (PF/C – PHI): $11,700 DraftKings, $11,800 FanDuel
Embiid has been the MVP runner-up in the last two years, but he’s making a run for the award this year. The big man has scored at least 56 DraftKings points in nine of his last 10 games, generating a 67-point average in that span. That’s the best stretch of any player all season, and it makes Embiid the safest play on every slate right now. Squaring off with a 28th-ranked Sacramento defense is the icing on the cake, with Embiid scoring at least 56 DraftKings points in each of their last six meetings.
