Once again, Joel Embiid is battling knee pain and another potential long-term absence will have a significant impact on the NBA DFS player pool in a challenging 2024-25 NBA season for the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid averaged more than 30 points per game in each of the prior three seasons but he scored fewer than 20 points in back-to-back contests. Even on the rare occasions where he’s been active this season, Embiid has rarely returned value at his NBA DFS price for daily Fantasy basketball players.

The 76ers play the Bulls and Embiid entered the day questionable. If he can’t play, are there other 76ers players in the NBA DFS player pool you should consider for your NBA DFS strategy such as Guerschon Yabusele, Kelly Oubre Jr, or Quentin Grimes?
