For each game of the NBA season, we provide the best Joel Embiid prop bets. Embiid’s next game is Wednesday, December 13 against the Detroit Pistons.

Best Joel Embiid Player Props Bets vs. the Detroit Pistons

As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to face the struggling Detroit Pistons, all eyes are on Joel Embiid, who has been on a tear recently. The Pistons have lost 20 straight games, and given their defensive woes, Embiid is expected to dominate. With the Sixers’ star center coming off a strong performance against the Wizards and the Pistons missing key defensive players like Marvin Bagley III and Jalen Duren, Embiid is poised to capitalize on Detroit’s vulnerabilities.

Joel Embiid Over 39.5 Points & Assists (-125)

Joel Embiid’s Points & Assists prop is set at 39.5, and there’s a strong case for the over hitting here. Statistically, Embiid has been performing well above this line in recent games, with a last 10 games average of 41.3 and hitting the over 80% of the time. His season mean for points and assists combined is 39.79, which is just above the line, and his performance against teams with losing records suggests he could have an even bigger night. The narrative also supports this pick, as the Pistons’ defense has been particularly porous, and with Embiid’s ability to score and facilitate the offense, he’s likely to rack up significant numbers in both categories. The absence of key defensive players for Detroit only adds to the likelihood that Embiid will exceed expectations in this matchup.

Joel Embiid Over 51.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-125)

The over on Joel Embiid’s Points, Rebounds & Assists line of 51.5 is another prop with a high chance of hitting. Embiid’s last 5 games average for this combined stat is an impressive 56.6, indicating his current form is well above the prop line. Additionally, his season mean is 51.26, which is just shy of the line, but considering the opponent and his recent performances, it’s reasonable to expect an outburst. The Pistons are missing critical players in their frontcourt, which should open up more rebounding opportunities for Embiid and allow him to be more involved in playmaking as well. With the Sixers’ offense running through him, and given Detroit’s inability to contain opposing big men, Embiid is in a prime position to stuff the stat sheet and push the total over on this prop.
