I hosted the Early Edge today and was told that this was the play of the month! Based on that information, I did my own crunch and while I’m not as bullish, I certainly really like it at this price. As I know people like to know when more than one expert will make the play, count me in.

First the good news, Michael Porter Jr. has had back to back 30+ point games with his latest a 39 point eruption. Now for the reality check, both games came against the Pelicans who are a bottom three defense. Tonight he'll face the Magic who are second in Defensive Efficiency, in addition to playing at the slowest pace in the league. Orlando is also very tough on opposing forwards and this checks all the boxes for me.

FanDuel. Averaging 18.7 points per game this season, Michael Porter Jr. has stayed under this line in 15/29 games playing alongside both Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. When you include Aaron Gordon, the under has hit in 17 of 25 games. And for Porter Jr., who garners 43% of his points via spot up shooting and transition, this is a brutal matchup. The Magic rank in the top five against both playtypes, and are the best team at limiting points above-the-break.
