Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the NBA, there's always a chance for a thrilling duel, and we've got our eyes set on Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers who's been nothing short of spectacular lately. The 76ers' main man has been dishing the rock effectively both at home and overall, averaging 5 assists and 4.8 assists respectively over his last five games. Embiid might have averaged fewer assists against the Heat in the past (3.4), but his recent form suggests a turnaround. He's been hitting the over on this prop in 5 of his last 7 games overall and an impressive 12 out of 17 at home. Given his current form and the 76ers' home-court advantage, we're backing Embiid to go over 4.5 assists against the Heat. It's not just a hunch, it's the numbers speaking volumes. Here's to hoping Embiid keeps serving those dimes!
