Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Franz Wagner is primed for a breakout performance in New Orleans, and targeting the over on his points plus rebounds at 15.5 feels like a smart play. Over the last 20 games, he's hit this mark 17 times, showcasing his consistent ability to contribute. Especially encouraging is his away game performance, where he's surpassed this threshold in an impressive 19 of his last 20 outings. Against the Pelicans, Wagner's recent production against them has been nothing short of stellar, averaging 21.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in their last matchups. With the extra motivation of playing away, his numbers rise, averaging 16.2 points and 4.6 rebounds on the road. Add in the fact that the Pelicans have struggled defensively, and it's clear Wagner could easily surpass the 15.5 mark. Expect him to shine bright this Sunday!

Yves Missi (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-476)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Yves Missi's rebounding numbers, particularly the Under on 9.5. This bet carries significant weight given Missi's recent performance, where he has consistently fallen short, hitting that mark just once in his last six outings. With an expected stat value hovering around 5.77, it's clear that he's struggled to dominate the boards against similar matchups. The Pelicans' offensive style tends to prioritize shooting over crashing the glass, which means Missi might not get the opportunities he needs to collect those rebounds. Plus, the Magic aren't known for their rebounding prowess either, suggesting that the pace and style of play could further limit Missi's chances. With an implied probability of 82.6% favoring the Under, this bet feels like a strong play as he continues to navigate a challenging role at home.

Jeremiah Fears (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Orlando Magic, keep an eye on Jeremiah Fears' rebounding numbers, particularly his under 4.5 total. Fears has been in a groove lately, but the numbers reveal a telling trend. He's averaged around 3.4 rebounds per game recently, and while he has hit the over in 8 of his last 9 outings, it's crucial to note that his last four home games have all stayed under this mark. The Magic present a unique challenge; their defensive structure often limits opponents' second-chance opportunities, which could further hinder Fears' chances to rack up boards. Given that he's also been playing fewer minutes as the season winds down, it seems like a smart move to bet on him staying under 4.5 rebounds. The data leans heavily towards this outcome, making it a compelling wager as the game unfolds.
