Joel Embiid Over 32.5 Points

Joel Embiid is still the second-leading scorer in the NBA, but February has been his least productive month since six games in October. In November, he averaged 34.1 points per game, in December, he averaged 35.4, and in January, he averaged 34.9. In February, he is averaging 30.5 points per game, and he has yet to score 40 in a single game.

Embiid comes off the break with a juicy matchup against a team he scored 35 points against earlier this season. The Memphis Grizzlies are only allowing 112.2 points per game and 47.1 points per game in the paint. But Embiid is a player that the Grizzlies don’t have an answer for, and he is going to come out of the break and come close to putting up his first 40-point performance of the month.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of basketball player prop bets include over/under bets on points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, blocks, or steals.
