In the matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors, targeting Ja'Kobe Walter for over 6.5 points is not just a hunch; it's backed by solid data. Walter has been on fire, averaging 12.6 points in his last five games, and when you zoom in on his away performances, that drops slightly to 11.2. However, against the Raptors, he's really found his groove, putting up an impressive 14 points per game in their last five encounters, even on the road. What's particularly compelling is that he's hit the over in all six games recently, showcasing a consistent scoring ability that's hard to ignore. With a hit rate of 5 for 5 away, it's clear he thrives in these settings. Given the Raptors' defensive struggles and Walter's recent form, betting on him to surpass 6.5 points feels like a savvy move.
