The Orlando Magic have been one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA this season. After acquiring Desmond Bane in the offseason for a plethora of draft picks, the Magic sit in the #8 slot in the Eastern Conference and are just 2 games ahead of the #10 seed Charlotte Hornets. On Sunday, they face a fiery Toronto team that is also playing for playoff positioning. As just 3-point road underdogs, expect this game to stay close — ultimately resulting in Bane playing upwards of 35 minutes.

If you have followed my work since the all-star break, backing Pelicans players has been a staple. Without their first-round pick, they have no incentive to tank. This has resulted in Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and others playing big minutes. The return of Dejounte Murray has been a surprise after tearing his Achilles’ tendon the season before. Ultimately, we’re looking to back Saddiq Bey and his rebounds + assists prop — even with the Pelicans likely at full strength for their game against the Rockets.
Apart from a 27-minute performance against the Knicks last week, when Bey was in foul trouble in the first half, he has played 30+ minutes in 7 straight and has eclipsed his over of 7.5 R+A in 4 of those 7 games.
