Tobias Harris, SF/PF, Philadelphia 76ers
DraftKings Price: $7,700
Another day, another solid performance from Tobias Harris. The new Philadelphia 76ers forward's play has shifted to an entirely different level without Joel Embiid on the court, and he'll have at least one more night to prove his mettle.
As stated on the last slide, Embiid has already been ruled out for tonight's game against the Bulls, meaning Harris will once again be the go-to option for the Sixers on offense. He was averaging a solid 17.8 points, 7.0 boards, and 33.9 DraftKings points in four games with Embiid. In six games without Embiid, Harris has seen big increases to 24.2 points, 9.2 boards, and 43.9 DraftKings points.
He's scored 48.75 or more DraftKings points in three of his past four games and gets a choice matchup against a Bulls team against whom he scored 42.5 earlier this season. The game's total of 230.0 points should make it one of the most fantasy-friendly affairs, and Harris will be ready to pounce.
We project him for 37.2 DraftKings points with upside for 56.5. He's a rock-solid option for cash games, but he's truly an option in all formats.
