This isn’t a guy we bet on often, but this feels like a good number and spot for him. Jalen Suggs has hit this line in 11 of his last 15 games. In that span he is averaging over 13 points a game which is a nice cushion from the 11 that we need here tonight.
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Orlando Magic Prediction
Additionally, Suggs is a better scorer at home. In Orlando Suggs scores 14 points a night as opposed to his 10.8 on the road. New Orleans is a nice target as they allow the fifth most made threes to the point guard position and over 55% of Suggs field goal attempts are deep balls. His o1.5 threes made his heavily juiced which is a good sign he can get there for us.
On an otherwise uninspiring slate, this game has a close spread of just 2.5 points. In the last three games decided by 10 points or less we have seen Suggs play 30+ minutes in all of them. If he sees similar court time it sure is hard to imagine he can’t find 11 points along the way. Let's roll!
