Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Tonight's clash between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Toronto Raptors is set to be a high-scoring affair, with the Raptors expected to push past the 106.5 points mark. The Raptor's offensive prowess, underscored by a model prediction of 117.37 points, is a key factor in this bet. Toronto has been consistently lighting up the scoreboard, with their sharp shooters and fast-paced play. On the other side, the Pelicans' defense has been porous, letting opponents score in buckets. When you factor in Toronto's red-hot form and New Orleans' defensive struggles, it becomes clear why the Raptors are expected to eclipse the 106.5 point threshold. The impressive implied probability of 85.5% also adds weight to this bet. So, if you're looking for a bet with statistical backing, the Toronto Raptors to go over 106.5 points is a solid pick.

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Toronto Raptors, all eyes should be on Ja'Kobe Walter, particularly for an over on his points prop set at 6.5. Walter has been on a scoring tear, averaging 12.6 points over his last five games and consistently finding the basket with an impressive 14 points against the Raptors in their recent encounters. As an away player, he's not just holding his own-he's been lighting it up, averaging 11.2 points when traveling. What's most impressive is his perfect hit rate, scoring over this mark in all of his last six outings, including five straight away games. With the Raptors struggling defensively, particularly against dynamic scorers, Walter is poised to exploit this matchup. Given his current form, it's hard to see him finishing below 7 points. Locking in that over makes a lot of sense here.
