New Orleans Pelicans vs. Toronto Raptors Prediction
Tonight, Ingram’s points prop is set at 21.5, and I’m taking the over. Ingram finds himself with a plus matchup against a Raptors team he’s had a ton of success against in the past. Ingram has exceeded this line in seven of his last eight career games against Toronto, which includes the 41-point performance he delivered last month.
The Raptors have allowed the most points to SF over the last 30 games, and their defense takes a hit with Scottie Barnes, Bruce Brown, and Jakob Poeltl all OUT of the lineup tonight. Over their last seven games, several forwards have exploited this matchup against Toronto. Brandon Miller scored 26, Jonathan Kuminga scored 24, PJ Washington had 23, Bennedict Mathurin scored 34, Pascal Siakam added 27 points in that same game, and De'Andre Hunter put up 22 points for the Hawks off the bench. Brandon Ingram is next in line, he’s been scoring well as of late, has had success in this matchup, and that is why I’m taking the over on his points prop tonight.
