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

THE RUB

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

OUR PICK  – INDIANA -11.0

THE RUB

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.

The 76ers (20-7, 1st in the Atlantic Division) meet the Nets (13-11, 4th in the Atlantic Division).

The 76ers have covered the spread 50.0% of the time, having gone 12-12-3 ATS. Brooklyn covers the spread 54.2% of the time, going 13-11-0 against the spread this season.

The Nets have lost 2-straight games for the first time in a month after a 110-102 loss at Toronto on Saturday, shooting 38.6% from the floor and turning it over 20 times, falling to 6-7 on the road.

Toughest game of the night pick, made even more frustrating by Embiid, whom you never know what you’re going to get from night to night.

Golden State has now won just 3 of 20 games after its latest 114-106 loss at Utah.

Tonight begins a stretch in which the Warriors play 6 of 7 at home. However, the Warriors are just 2-9 at the new Chase Center in San Francisco after moving across from Oakland.

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