Kings vs. Magic Player Prop Pick
Maxime Raynaud Over 15.5 Points (-115)
Action PRO is projecting 17.9 points for Maxime Raynaud in the Kings' matchup against the Magic tonight, showing a huge 18.5% edge against his current prop line of over/under 15.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with an A grade in our system.
Raynaud has been getting a ton of extra run for the Kings recently. He's averaging 25.8 minutes per game on the season. However, he enters tonight's matchup having played 29+ minutes in six straight games, while logging 36+ minutes in three of those contests.
As a result, Raynaud has scored 16+ points in seven of his last nine games, while breaking 20+ points in five of those contests; and getting all the way up to 25+ points in three of them.
We'll go ahead and lock in our best bet for this game at Over 15.5 points. However, you could also consider climbing the ladder and sprinkling some alternate lines at 20+ Points (+125) or 25+ Points (+240).
Pick: Maxime Raynaud Over 15.5 Points (-115)
Knicks vs. Hornets Player Prop Bet
Jordan Clarkson Over 7.5 Points (-125)
Action PRO is projecting 10.2 points for Jordan Clarkson in the Knicks' matchup against the Hornets tonight, presenting a massive 24.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 7.5, which is good enough to mark the Over with an A+ grade in our database.
Clarkson's usage has been spotty for the Knicks over the course of the season. However, he enters tonight's game having played 20+ minutes in six of his last seven games, while scoring 8+ points in all seven of those contests; and breaking double-digits in four of them.
This should be a good spot for him to keep the momentum going in a matchup against a tough Hornets squad where there's a good chance the Knicks will be looking for a spark off the bench.
Pick: Jordan Clarkson Over 7.5 Points (-125)
Pelicans vs. Pistons Player Prop Prediction
Zion Williamson Under 5.5 Rebounds (-115)
Action PRO is projecting 4.7 rebounds for Zion Williamson in the Pelicans' matchup against the Pistons tonight, providing a solid 14.1% edge against his current prop line of over/under 5.5, which is strong enough to tag the Under with a B+ grade in our system.
Williamson has recorded less than 5.5 rebounds in five of his last six games, with his only Over-result during that span ringing in at exactly six rebounds.
Tonight, the Pelicans draw a tough matchup against a Pistons squad that ranks 9th in offensive rating and 8th in points scored per game — so naturally, there will be less rebounds to go around for New Orleans, and the Pelicans will likely need Zion to exert more energy as a scoring threat if they intend on keeping this game close.
On the other side of that same coin, if the Pelicans fail to put forth a competitive effort tonight, that works in favor of the Under as well. So, let's back Zion to stay Under 5.5 Rebounds in this spot.
Pick: Zion Williamson Under 5.5 Rebounds (-115)
