4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been listed as questionable to participate in Monday's game versus the Jazz due to back tightness. While the ailment has been significant enough to continue popping up on the injury report, it hasn't appeared to have slowed Embiid's production, as he has averaged a staggering 34.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game over his last 11 contests. Facing off with two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and Utah's stellar defense would be a challenge for Embiid, which if he suits up, may make him a finicky DFS option, especially considering the lingering back issue. Dwight Howard would stand to make the start in Embiid's place if he is unavailable, but fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word.--Jesse Borek
