While all eyes are on Jimmy Butler and his Philadelphia 76ers debut, Mike Muscala is the go-to value of the night. As a reminder, both Robert Covington and Dario Saric are now with the Minnesota Timberwolves, so the power forward spot -- outside of potential minutes for Ben Simmons -- is rather open. Moose has played 80% of his 192 minutes at the four, so there's room for him to get minutes there and behind Joel Embiid at center.
It's been said anywhere and everywhere that the Sixers need shooting, and Muscala has provided that from a more unconventional spot, as he's averaged 1.4 threes a game on 33.3% shooting, including five over the past three games. We like him to stick around the 26.3 minutes he's averaged over the last four contests, and if he does that's easy money at the center spot.
Philly is implied at 112.75 points on the road against the Orlando Magic. Their total is the fifth-highest on the slate, and the Magic allow top-10 marks in three-pointers, three-point attempts and three-point percentage against through 14 games. That makes Muscala our top point-per-dollar play of the night.
