Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs. The reigning MVP recently returned from a lengthy layoff caused by a knee injury. However, he's played well since getting back on the floor, averaging 27.7 points, 7.3 steals, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.

As a result, Mo Bamba, averaging 6.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, has value potential for DFS participants.
