Brandon Bussi (Carolina Hurricanes) Over 14.5 Saves (-500)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Based on Brandon Bussi's recent performance, betting over 14.5 in the 'Player Total Saves (Alternate)' market seems statistically reasonable. Bussi's average saves in his last five home games stand at 19.4, with an overall average of 20.2 – both well above the 14.5 line set by the bookmaker. His L5 stats show an average of 22.2 shots against at home and 22.8 overall, again suggesting a high likelihood of exceeding the projected total saves. Furthermore, Bussi's current hit streaks for home games and overall stand at 5 and 8 respectively, demonstrating a consistent performance in exceeding the saves line. In short, Bussi's recent performance, combined with the model's prediction of 23.84 saves, suggest a strong likelihood of him making more than 14.5 saves in the upcoming game.
