Joel Embiid, Under 28.5 Points 

NBA Odds: -115 at BetMGM Sportsbook

Embiid has played in seven games this season for the 76ers. In three of them, he’s scored over 30 points, in the other four he’s finished 20 or less. In the only other instance Embiid faced off against Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, Embiid worked him over for a ridiculous 70 points! With a big Christmas Day game vs. the Celtics looming, expect less here from Embiid, who has played just one game on less than two days rest – and got injured in that game.

Josh Giddey, Over 5.5 Points 

NBA Odds: -114 with Caesars Sportsbook

Giddey has missed the last two games and is day-to-day as I write this for the Bulls’ matchup with Damian Lillard and the Bucks. If he plays … Giddey has scored at least eight points in eight of his last 10, and Milwaukee allows more points to the PG position than any other team in the NBA. Lonzo Ball has not looked sharp in his 12 games back, so Giddey should get enough minutes to get near his 11.9 ppg season average.

Kris Dunn, Over 12.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists 

NBA Odds: -120 at DraftKings

Dunn averages 13.0 PRA on the season, so this number suggests a downward tick for the Clippers’ game in Memphis. But with Terance Mann out, that means more time and opportunity for the shooting guard. Mann has missed the last six games. For the first three, Dunn managed paltry PRA totals of 8, 12 and 9. The last three are 18, 10 and 15
