The revamped Awesemo OddsShopper Tool is the perfect resource to help find the best NBA player props and betting picks for tonight’s 76ers – Nets matchup. Let’s take a look at Awesemo’s must-bet projections for the face of the 76ers franchise, Joel Embiid.

Best NBA Player Props & Betting Picks | Joel Embiid

With OddsShopper, finding the best NBA betting player props is fast and simple. All users must do is filter the prop selections, sort the page and find the best pick to bet. The process is extremely quick and highly effective. Try out the tool for yourself tonight with the three featured Embiid props below.

Under 27.5 Points (-118, FanDuel)

Despite topping the 30-point threshold in four of the last five games, Awesemo’s projections lean heavily to the under on Joel Embiid’s point total tonight. At the preferred line of 27.5, OddsShopper shows that the majority of the NBA player props market agrees. This total is actually unique to one sportsbook. The rest of the market lists Embiid’s scoring prop at 26.5 points. With the Nets being one of the better defensive teams in the league, Embiid will be hard-pressed to reach his per-game average of 26.0 points. The deviated betting line sits a full 1.5 points higher than that. At -118 odds, Awesemo gives this wager a 19% expected ROI.

Under 11.5 Rebounds (-110, PointsBet)

Much like the scoring prop above, the rebounding total of 11.5 sits higher than the 10.9 Joel Embiid has averaged per game this season. While he has achieved double-digit rebound totals in five of the last six games, Embiid has only eclipsed the NBA player props line twice over that span. The Nets finally have a fully healthy frontcourt with Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge returning from health and safety protocols. Had this matchup taken place a week ago, Embiid would have had a much greater advantage on the interior. Now, that is unlikely to be the case. As a result, Awesemo gives this prop bet an 11% expected ROI at -110 odds. Be sure to check in with OddsShopper before placing your wager as that price is 15 cents better value than those currently offered at other sportsbooks.

Over 3.5 Assists (+110, Caesars)

Awesemo’s projections peg Joel Embiid to distribute exactly 3.61 assists tonight. This is barely over the NBA player props total of 3.5 and does not offer a massive betting edge in terms of win probability. However, OddsShopper reveals favorable plus-money odds on the over for this prop. In fact, the optimal price of +110 is as much as 12 cents better than others listed in the market. On the season, Embiid is averaging 4.1 assists per game, so eclipsing this total is not extremely far-fetched. The plus-money value results in a neutral wager in terms of ROI. If it hits, the added return will certainly be a nice holiday bonus!
