The big man is back tonight, and our sportsline model has him projected for 55 PRA. Joel Embiid finds big success against Andre Drummond: in Chicago Embiid put up 54 and 60 PRA in two games and 26 in a game he played 16 minutes in (averaging 1.44 PRA per minute). On the season, he's been up +5 since compared to last year. Look for a big home return game for Embiid.

Drummond has been a monster on the glass since Nik Vucevic has been out, but I could easily see him getting into foul trouble tonight with Joel Embiid back from injury for Philly. It's not that easy pulling down 15 boards in an NBA game, and there's a reason that Drummond has been a journeyman in his career. The SL Model has him with 10.5 boards tonight. I actually didn't notice that assists was tied to this originally but I'm OK with that.
Chicago enters on a 12-3 ATS run, and even though Joel Embiid is back, I like the Bulls to be very competitive. Andre Drummond has 64 rebounds over the past three games, while DeMar DeRozan has scored 21-plus in six straight. Alex Caruso and the Bulls' other perimeter defenders have done a nice job on Tyrese Maxey in two Chicago wins. Look for Philly to win this one but not get the blowout.
