This is a tough matchup with the Magic having the third-best defensive rating in the league. However, Zion Williamson has scored at least 23 points in six straight games. One of those performances came against the Cavaliers, who have the fourth-best defensive rating. He isn’t just barely reaching 23 points, either, averaging 28.5 points over that six-game span. At these odds, I’ll take a chance on him remaining hot and hitting the over.

This might come as a surprise to those who expect more fireworks from the glitzy Pelicans, yet recent trendlines have leaned hard to the "under" which has cashed in ten of the last twelve games. New Orleans kept it low scoring again on Tuesday vs. the Nets in a 104-91 win, and has kept seven of its last eight foes to 104 points or fewer. Meanwhile it was just a half-point that cost the Magic another "under" on Tuesday vs. the Hornets, but Jamahl Mosley is thrilled his troops are allowing only 98 pg across their last ten, and now 10-3 "under" their last 13. Play Pelicans-Magic "Under"

I consider these two teams potentially the biggest dark horses in their respective conferences. Both teams have deep rotations and both play slow and are good defensively. Paolo is have a very solid sophomore season but this is a very tough matchup in a game that projects to be a low scoring environment. Paolo is likely to see a ton of Herbert Jones who is one of the premiere wing defenders in the NBA. Additionally, his game has a tiny 207 point total and should feature minimal possessions.
