As the Pelicans gear up to face the Raptors, all eyes should be on Ja'Kobe Walter to shine. With a tantalizing over/under of just 6.5 points, it's hard to ignore how this young talent has been lighting up the scoreboard lately. In his last six games, Walter has hit the over in every single one, averaging a robust 12.6 points, and even better on the road at 11.2. Facing the Raptors, he's managed to put up 14 points per game in their last five meetings, showing he can rise to the occasion against this opponent. The Pelicans will need his scoring touch in a tough away matchup, and given Walter's current form, he seems poised to exceed that modest line. Take the over; it feels like a slam dunk waiting to happen!

When the Toronto Raptors roll into New Orleans, all eyes should be on Brandon Ingram for a solid performance. The Pelicans' star has been a scoring machine at home, averaging an impressive 22.6 points and nearly 5 rebounds in his last five games on his own court. But here's the kicker: when facing the Raptors, Ingram has lit them up for an average of 29.7 points in their last five meetings, and even more jaw-dropping, 41 points when at home against them.With a solid 8 out of his last 11 home games smashing that 26.5 mark for his combined points and rebounds, it's clear that Ingram thrives in this matchup. Add to that his expected stat value of nearly 30, and we've got compelling evidence that he'll not only meet but exceed expectations. All signs point to a big night for Ingram-let's ride that wave.

Saddiq Bey (Atlanta Hawks) Under 2.5 Assists (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Toronto Raptors, Saddiq Bey presents an interesting opportunity for a player prop bet on his assists. Targeting the under on 2.5 assists seems like a savvy play. In his last five games, Bey has averaged just 1.6 assists overall, even dipping to 1.8 against the Raptors specifically. When he's on the road, his production drops further, with a recent average of only 2 assists. The Raptors' defense has been particularly stingy, allowing just 1 assist per game to opponents in their last five matchups at home. With a hit rate of 5 for his last 5 games and a robust 3 for 3 on the road, Bey's recent form aligns perfectly with our bet. It's all about seizing the moment, and right now, the under on Bey's assists feels like a smart play in this matchup.
