Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When looking at Ja'Kobe Walter's recent performances, it's hard to ignore the momentum he's bringing into this matchup against the Raptors. Averaging 12.6 points over his last five games, Walter has become a scoring machine, particularly in away games where he's putting up an impressive 11.2 points. The Raptors have struggled against scorers like him, and his last five outings against Toronto have seen him net an average of 14 points-every single time. With a perfect 6-for-6 hit rate in his last games, including a streak of five straight on the road, it feels like a no-brainer to target the Over on his points prop. Given his expected stat value of nearly 10 points, it's clear he's got the potential to exceed that 6.5 mark comfortably. With the Pelicans looking to secure a critical win, expect Walter to step up and deliver when it counts.
