Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic visit New Orleans, keep a close eye on Franz Wagner for an enticing points prop set at 14.5. Though his recent average hovers around 12.6, that number barely scratches the surface of his potential, especially against the Pelicans. In their last five meetings, Wagner has averaged an impressive 21.4 points, and when he's on the road, that figure dips slightly to 19.2-still well above our target.What's particularly compelling is his away performance, where he has hit over this line in 18 of his last 20 games. With an expected stat value of nearly 19, he's primed for a breakout. The Pelicans' defense may struggle to contain his multidimensional scoring ability, making this a favorable matchup. With solid historical data backing him up, wagering on Wagner to go over 14.5 points feels like a smart play in this showdown.

With the Pelicans boasting a solid defense, this matchup could further limit his opportunities. Despite his talent, it's hard to ignore that he's hit this under in four of his last five away games. Given these trends, the under looks promising as we anticipate a competitive showdown in New Orleans.
