DP’S PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 11-5
Expert NBA Player Props Analyst, Daniel Parisi, gives his best daily prop, exclusive to subscribers.
ORLANDO @ NEW ORLEANS
Despite poor performances from the Pelicans, Brandon Ingram is humming along, proving his worth as a ‘most improved’ candidate in what is a hotly contested field.
Ingram has returned 31, 25 & 32 over his past three fixtures, all of which were against tricky defensive schemes in the Pistons, Bucks & 76ers.
He continues to stay true to his shooting, averaging 50% on the floor throughout November, and is finding space and range on the wing to hit the long ball, 40% from 3.
Whilst Gordon and Isaac present as troublesome iso-defenders, BI should find his spots, leverage his length and soar over the 22.5 total, should he take 16+ shots, which is a given.
Most recently, BI is coming off 13 attempts at the stripe, and I expect that he will continue to be aggressive in what presents as a winnable fixture against the Magic.

THE RUB
The Pelicans’ losing streak hit 11 after they lost 116-109 at Philadelphia, the longest losing streak in franchise history.
The Magic played the Rockets a 130-107 home loss to mark the highest score they have conceded at home since April 6, 2018.
Orlando’s offence could thrive tonight against Pelicans’ 29th-ranked defence. That seems even more likely when taking into account the Magic’s 118-88 win on their last visit to this venue and Vucevic’s likely return

Their first meeting between these two was a thriller, with the Hornets winning 122-120 after OT at Spectrum Center behind 35 points from Devonte’ Graham.
Charlotte have won 3-straight including an 83-73 win at Chicago on Friday which was the lowest score in any NBA game since December 18, 2016. That win moved Charlotte to a 8-2 from their last 10 against Central teams.
The Pacers are winners of 10 of their last 13 and are 10-2 from their last 12 at home, thriving behind a balanced attack that had 7 players score in double figures in Friday’s 110-100 win in Atlanta

The Lakers go for their 14th straight road win tonight.
Atlanta fell to its 14th loss in 16 games losing 110-100 to Indiana at home last time out.
The Hawks fell 122-101 at Staples Center due largely to a 33-point, 12-assist display from James in the series first meeting.
Lebron is questionable tonight due to a sore right elbow.
Atlanta are 3-9 at home this and 4-15 against opponents .500 or better.

Golden State swept the 4-game series last season and took the last 5 from Sacramento, however tonight is a different Warriors team.
