Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Franz Wagner, especially when it comes to his scoring potential. In his last five games, he's averaged a respectable 12.6 points, but what's more intriguing is his ability to elevate his game on the road, where he's been pouring in an impressive 16.2 points per outing. Against the Pelicans specifically, Wagner has shined, averaging 21.4 points in their last five matchups, and even better at 19.2 points when playing in New Orleans. With a stellar 18 out of his last 20 away games seeing him surpass the 14.5 mark, it's clear he thrives under pressure. The numbers paint a promising picture, making the over on Wagner's points a compelling play. Expect him to rise to the occasion and deliver a standout performance in this matchup.

Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Under 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic travel to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Paolo Banchero, but betting on him to go over 37.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists might not be the best choice. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in his last five games, those numbers dip slightly when he's away, with averages of 18.6 points and just 4.6 assists. Against the Pelicans, his recent away performance reveals a troubling trend-he's only managing about 31.7 points in his last outings there, significantly lower than tonight's line. Plus, his overall hit rate is solid, but the last four games have inflated expectations. With the Pelicans boasting a stout defense, it feels like a perfect storm for Banchero to fall short of that total. Taking the under could be the savvy play here.
