Joel Embiid has picked up right where he left off after missing over 2 months. The MVP candidate hasnt skipped a beat and gets a great matchup against a Detroit frontcourt he should have little trouble against. We're getting a healthy discount on this line as there is some blowout possibility anytime we're talking about the Pistons but with Cade Cunningham likely active, I think the Pistons can possibly hang. Even if the Sixers do torch Detroit, it's like a result of Embiid going off. I'll take the discount here in what is a fantastic matchup for reigning MVP.

The young Pistons can get beat up down low and this is a big ask for Jaren Duren and Co on the defensive side of things. I dont play a lot of superstar props on the NBA, but in a situation like this, with certain teams badly needing certain results and against teams waiting to hit the golf course, I have to get in. It's clear the former MVP is demanding big minutes on the nights he plays to try to get his legs and wind back from all the time he missed. Sixers can play way out of play-in spot if they cash in on easy schedule down stretch. The big man has been utterly dominant since he came back and is sending messages
