Over the course of the 24/25 season Embiid has averaged 20.2 PTS per game throughout the 6 games he’s played this season. With tonight being Embiid’s first game in a week, our model suspects he’ll be well rested and ready to take on the Hornets. He has historically feasted against Charlotte, and tonight looks a great bounce back spot for him.
