As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, keep an eye on Franz Wagner, especially when it comes to his points and rebounds combined. With a current line set at 13.5, Wagner has been lighting it up on the road, averaging an impressive 16.2 points and 4.6 rebounds over his last five away games. Against the Pelicans, he's been even more effective, dropping an average of 19.2 points and snagging 4.8 boards in their last encounters. With a staggering hit rate of 19 out of his last 20 away games, it's clear he thrives in this environment. Given the implied probability of 77.5%, betting on Wagner to go over 13.5 seems like a wise move. He's not just playing; he's playing with purpose, and the numbers back that up. Expect him to shine bright on Sunday!
Yves Missi (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-417)

As the Pelicans gear up to face the Magic at home, it's hard to overlook Yves Missi's recent performance regarding rebounds. Despite the potential excitement surrounding him, the numbers suggest a different narrative. Over the last six games, he has hit the under on 9.5 rebounds every single time, showcasing a consistent trend that can't be ignored.With an expected stat value of just 5.77, Missi's production seems to be tapering off, especially as he faces a Magic team that can be challenging in the paint. The implied probability of hitting the under stands at a hefty 80.6%, adding weight to our confidence in this bet. As the home crowd rallies behind the Pelicans, Missi may find himself more focused on scoring and playmaking, rather than crashing the boards. The smart play here is to bank on him staying under that 9.5 mark once again.
Jeremiah Fears (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-125)

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Jeremiah Fears. While he's been a dynamic presence on the court, it's worth noting that his rebounding numbers tell a different story. With an expected stat value of just 3.4 rebounds, targeting the under on 4.5 seems wise. Fears has been wildly efficient lately, hitting the under in 8 of his last 9 games, and at home, he's been particularly impressive, going 4 for 4 in keeping his rebounding tally low. The Pelicans' stylistic approach often shifts more of the rebounding load onto their frontline players, leaving Fears with fewer opportunities. Given the matchup against a Magic team that's been solid on the boards, I see Fears struggling to reach that 5-rebound threshold. This all adds up to a compelling case for taking the under on his rebounds.
