Yves Missi (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 6.5 Rebounds (+102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Yves Missi's rebounding performance, and I'm leaning towards the under on his total of 6.5. The numbers tell a revealing story-Missi has averaged just 5 rebounds in his last five games, and when playing away, he's stuck at that same mark. While he's faced the Kings before and slightly outperformed with an average of 6.2 rebounds, it's crucial to note that his recent form shows he's hit the under in four straight games. The Pelicans are facing a Kings squad that limits rebounds effectively, and with Missi's recent hit rate of 75% on the road, it's a strong indication he might struggle to surpass that 6.5 threshold. Given his expected stat value of 5.66, this bet feels like a smart play.

Jeremiah Fears (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the showdown between the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans, targeting Jeremiah Fears for under 1.5 threes made feels like a savvy move. Fears has been steady, averaging 1.2 threes in his last five games, but what stands out is his performance away from home, where he's only hitting 1.6 per game overall and just 1.1 against the Pelicans specifically. Historically, Fears has struggled against New Orleans, with an average of only 1.0 trey made in their last three encounters. His hit rate away has been impressive, landing 5 out of 7, yet the numbers suggest a slight regression is in order. With the odds favoring this under and the Kings focusing on a balanced attack, it seems like a smart bet to expect Fears to fall short of that 1.5 mark in this matchup.
