NBA Betting Picks: Targeting Joel Embiid, New Orleans Pelicans in Monday's Games

There are two props today from the NBA slate that I will be taking separately. Both of these props have been hitting consistently and they both have favorable matchups. I believe based off my reasoning below, these two props will easily cash and we'll all go home with some money in our pockets. The two props we will be looking at today are Joel Embiid to dominate against the Lakers, and the New Orleans Pelicans to get revenge over the Jazz.

Joel Embiid o17.5 Rebounds + Assists

Personally, I think Joel Embiid is going to smash his assists line today. With that being said, I believe he'll cash his rebounds leg too, which means this rebounds + assists prop is juicy. Embiid has hit this line is last three games and seven out of his last 12 games this month. Two of those games he missed were against Al Horford, and two came in blowouts against the Suns and the Wizards. His opponent today is the Los Angeles Lakers, and they have been allowing the 2nd most assists and 7th most rebounds this season. This matchup should definitely favor Embiid tonight, even though he is matched up against Anthony Davis on the other side. I like Embiid to keep rolling today and cash this line today for us.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz Prediction

I expect the last game to be a one-off, considering it was the worst game the Pelicans have played the entire year. Zion Williamson is back after a break, which should ease the load on Brandon Ingram and open up more shots for role players. In the last game, they almost shot below 30% from 3, mainly because Zion was out, and it turned into isolation ball. This Pelicans squad needs ball movement to be successful, and that definitely didn't happen in their last game. Now that Zion is back, that shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, Hawkins has been in great form behind the arc recently, while Herb Jones and Dyson Daniels are doing really well on the defensive end. The offense has clicked between Ingram and Williamson, and Jose Alvarado and Naji Marshall have been providing some great energy and shooting off the bench. This pick seems pretty obvious to me today, and I believe the Pelicans will fully control this game.
