Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Franz Wagner to power through for over 14.5 points. Despite averaging 12.6 points over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story-he's elevated that number to an impressive 16.2 when hitting the road. Recent matchups against the Pelicans have seen him shine, racking up an average of 21.4 points. With a remarkable hit rate of 18 out of 20 in away games, it's clear Wagner thrives in hostile environments. This season, he's not just a contributor; he's become a key scorer, especially when the stakes are high. Given the Pelicans' defense and his ability to exploit those matchups, it's a smart move to back Wagner to surpass 14.5 points. Expect him to rise to the occasion and deliver for the Magic in New Orleans.

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, Paolo Banchero's performance could hinge on the venue. Despite his undeniable talent, he's recently averaged just 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists over his last five games-totals that suggest a dip in overall impact. His away stats paint a similar picture, with averages of 18.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists-not nearly enough to clear that hefty 37.5 combined total.Moreover, against the Pelicans, his away averages drop even further, indicating a struggle to shine on the road. With his last four outings yielding consistent unders, and a hit rate of 4 out of 5 when traveling, the trend suggests he may fall short yet again. Expect Banchero to have a tough night in New Orleans, making the Under an appealing bet here.

Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Under 31.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, there's a compelling case for taking Paolo Banchero's points and rebounds total under 31.5. Despite his recent success, averaging 15.8 points and 7.6 rebounds over the last five games, Banchero's away numbers tell a different story. He's clocked in at 18.6 points and 6.2 rebounds during these road outings, well below the mark we're targeting. Sure, he's had a solid history against the Pelicans, posting an impressive 31.7 points per game in previous away matchups, but the law of averages suggests he can't keep that pace up. The Magic's offense has been inconsistent, and with an expected stat value of just 27.1, it seems likely he'll fall short. Given his recent trends and the Pelicans' defensive capabilities, betting the under feels like a savvy move here.
