Joel Embiid Sleeper NBA Pick: Less Than 27.5 PRA

It's crazy to think we have Joel Embiid against the Charlotte Hornets and we aren't diving all in on the overs for his props today but Embiid was limited to just 20 minutes on opening night and did not look very good when on the floor against the Boston Celtics. He looked like he lacked mobility and struggled to get anything going when the ball was in his hands.

We likely see Embiid once again limited tonight and while he's always capable of being the best player on the floor, I just don't trust he's fully ready to go to start the 2025 NBA season.

 

 

 

Bennedict Mathurin Sleeper NBA Pick: More Than 22.5 Points

Mathurin has a sneaky chance to lead the Pacers in scoring this season with the team down Tyrese Haliburton for the year and Myles Turner now in Milwaukee and that was shown early as Mathurin scored 36 points in the Pacers opening night double-overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Don't be fooled by the double-OT however as Mathurin had scored 32 points in regulation against a tough Thunder team.

This matchup against the Grizzlies figures to be a much easier task even with Jaylen Wells or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the primary defender.
