Dejounte Murray (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-172)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Dejounte Murray, the numbers tell a compelling story, especially in this matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Averaging 22 points and 5 rebounds over his last five outings, Murray is not just in form; he's thriving. Even when playing away, his stats remain strong, with nearly 20 points and over 6 rebounds per game. Facing the Pelicans, he's historically performed well, bumping his scoring average up to 18.6 points on the road against them.What's even more impressive is his recent track record; he's hit the Over on this prop in 8 of his last 9 games, and when he's away, he hasn't missed a beat, going 11 for 11. With an expected output leaning toward 25.25, it's hard to see Murray not surpassing that 19.5 threshold. In a game where he's likely to be a focal point, it feels like a solid bet

Jeremiah Fears (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes should be on Jeremiah Fears to surpass the 9.5 points and rebounds mark. Over the last five games, Fears has been a standout, hitting this over four times, showcasing his emerging playmaker role. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find that he's been even more impressive on the road, consistently thriving with a remarkable 15 out of his last 20 games hitting the over. What's truly captivating is how he's ramped up his production recently, with an expected stat value of 14.29, which suggests he's not just flirting with this number-he's poised to blow past it. With the Knicks struggling defensively against versatile scorers, Fears has the opportunity to capitalize. It's hard to ignore the momentum he's riding; bet on him to deliver a solid performance and help you cash in.

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the New Orleans Pelicans come to town, all eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns, but I'm leaning toward the under on his rebounding total of 12.5. Historically, Towns has struggled against the Pelicans at home, averaging just 10 boards in their last encounters. Despite a solid home average of 14 in recent games, he's hit the under in two out of his last three at Madison Square Garden.Additionally, his overall numbers show a slight dip, with just 12.2 rebounds in the last five games. Against the Pelicans, that average drops to about 11.8. Given that the odds suggest a 51.5% implied probability for the under, and with Towns' recent form showing he's only hit the over four out of the last six matchups, the value lies in betting on him to fall short of that 12.5 mark tonight.
