Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin

Joel Embiid (left foot soreness) listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. Embiid has been listed on the injury reports the last few games however it hasn't stopped him from remaining dominant. One of the front runners for MVP, Embiid has posted a double-double in six consecutive games including a 31-point, 14 rebound outing Sunday against the Knicks. Pending anything serious happening, it doesn't appear as if fantasy managers should worry about his production slowing down anytime soon.

Boston Celtics DFS Spin

Derrick White shined on Monday and finished with 23 points (8-for-17 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists and two threes in a win over Detroit. With Jaylen Brown out on Monday due to an illness, White stepped up and played a more prominent role alongside Jayson Tatum. That resulted in one of his best games of the season, but this wasn't random. Over the past two weeks, White has provided fifth round value in 9-cat leagues. He has faded into the background for this incredibly deep Celtics team, but he has stepped up his play lately. However, with Brown likely to return for their game against the 76ers on Wednesday, White won't be featured as heavily, but he should continue to be productive.
