Today's Best Bets: Analysis & Predictions

Joel Embiid (PHI) Under 24.5 Points

Mon, Nov 18, 07:30 PM EST
Joel Embiid has been significantly underperforming his scoring average this season, averaging just 16.5 points per game compared to the 24.5 point line for this bet. His shooting percentages have been poor, hitting just 25.8% of field goals and 10.0% from three-point range. However, he has attempted a high volume of shots, taking 13 field goal attempts and 5 three-pointers per game.
A key factor in Embiid's low scoring output has been his ability to get to the free throw line, where he has converted 9 out of 9 attempts per game. His 32.0% usage rate suggests he remains a focal point of Philadelphia's offense despite the shooting struggles. With an offensive rating of 93.0, Embiid has been an inefficient scorer so far this season.
Based strictly on his performance metrics through the first two games, the Under 24.5 points appears to be a solid bet for Embiid against the Miami Heat defense. His 100% bet win rate on this line in the early going further supports taking the under.
