Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors, targeting Saddiq Bey for under 17.5 points feels like a savvy play. Despite Bey's capability to light up the scoreboard, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit that mark. Over his last five games, he's averaging 16 points, and when he plays on the road, that number dips to about 12.6. Couple that with the Raptors' defensive prowess-they've allowed an average of just 18.5 points to opposing players at home-and it's clear that Bey could face a tough night. His performance against Toronto has also been lackluster, hitting that 17.8-point average just slightly above our target. With a hit rate of only 25% in the last eight games when facing formidable defenses, it's hard to see him breaking through this time. Keep an eye on this one-it feels like a solid under bet waiting to be seized.
