Joel Embiid's 2023 NBA fantasy basketball season projections

Joel Embiid is a very good choice for NBA fantasy basketball. CBS Sports projects Embiid will average 43.9 fantasy points per game and he is projected to total 3,366 points this season.

The big man averaged 50.8 points per game last season and was also the league’s leading scorer. As such, Embiid had his first MVP season. It may be hard to reach those sky-high levels once again this season, but Embiid still figures to be a fantasy monster.

Joel Embiid is easily a first-round pick and some drafts may take him number two behind Nikola Jokic. Embiid has averaged more than 50 fantasy points per game in two straight seasons according to standard scoring and CBS Sports.

It could be a third year in a row as Embiid may get even more usage if James Harden is finally traded away from Philadelphia.
