Sixers vs. Clippers: Joel Embiid OVER 31.5 Points (-105)

Embiid has cleared this line in four of his last six games and has scored at least 30 in five of the last six. The Clippers have a weak interior defense that gave up 30 points to Nikola Jokic on 15 shots. Embiid will shoot much more and go to the free throw line more than Jokic. Embiid scored 40 points his last time out against the Sixers. Even with Harden there now, he will still be dominant in the paint. Coming off a 30-point game, Embiid has enough momentum to have a big game. -- Donnavan Smoot

Embiid should dominate a Clippers defense that has struggled to contain opposing big men all year. Just in the last few games, Nikola Jokic had 30 points and 14 rebounds, Rudy Gobert put up 19 and 16, and Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen combined for 47 and 16.Embiid is going tofeast.Los Angeles ranks 24th in defensive rating over their last 10 games and 25th on the season in opposing points in the paint. Ivica Zubac is a fine player, but he's no match for the MVP-favorite. Embiid has hit this prop in five of his last eight games and gets a prime matchup, so we're riding with the big man. -- Joe Summers

 Sixers vs. Clippers: Joel Embiid Over 11.5 Rebounds (-125)

Oh hey, it's Embiid again. If the Clippers can't defend opposing big men, that means they can't compete on the boards either. They're 27th in the league in rebounding percentage and 25th over their last five games in effective field goal percentage, so Embiid will have plenty of missed shots to gobble up.Joel is averaging 11.3 rebounds per game and has cleared this prop in six of his last nine games. I expect him to hit this with ease. -- Joe Summers

Jazz vs. Hornets: Donovan Mitchell OVER 27.5 Points (-120)

 Mitchell is averaging just over 27 points per game over his last 12, but has cleared 30 in his last four, and now gets an advantageous matchup against the Hornets. Charlotte plays at a top 5 pace in the league and the Jazz bolster the best offensive rating in the league. What do you get when you mix together extra possessions for an elite offenses? Monster outputs.I think Mitchell breaks 30 again with relative ease. -- Reed Wallach
