Tonight&#8217;s opponents, the 76ers, are a middling 16th in that category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One risk for Banchero&#8217;s overall production is that the Magic and Sixers are two of the three slowest teams in the NBA. A measly 206-point projected total for tonight&#8217;s matchup reflects that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But given how efficient Banchero was in his return \u2014 nearly clearing this PRA line with just his point total \u2014 he hopefully won&#8217;t need an excessive volume of opportunities to put up stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really makes this a compelling pick is that Franz Wagner is still out for the Magic. Without his co-star, Banchero tends to run wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 12 career games without Wagner, Banchero has averaged 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists (36.9 PRA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Banchero has the fifth-highest usage rate in the NBA (33.1%), ahead of top-notch scorers like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Murphy over 17.5 points (-114)<\/strong>: The New Orleans Pelicans are primarily composed of good-not-great players, and sometimes it&#8217;s difficult to discern which one(s) will shine on any given night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Murphy looks like that guy right now, and the Pelicans should continue to feed him the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his past 12 games, Murphy is averaging 23.7 points. He&#8217;s cashed this bet 10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one in New Orleans attempts more 3s than Murphy (8.6\/game), and he&#8217;ll likely need to fire away on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. Boston attempts 49.5 threes per game, easily pacing the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy has missed the past three games with an ankle sprain but is listed as available for Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allen over 24.5 points\/rebounds (-107)<\/strong>: Like Murphy, Allen is a player who&#8217;s hot right now that I&#8217;m looking to ride with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers centre has averaged 19.1 points and 11.3 rebounds (30.4 PR) over his past seven games, cashing this bet five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s been particularly encouraging in that span is Allen&#8217;s high floor as a rebounder. The 6-foot-11 centre has nine-plus rebounds in seven consecutive games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight&#8217;s opponents, the Indiana Pacers, allow the ninth-most rebounds per game to centres (15.7), per Betting Pros. If Allen hovers around the double-digit mark for rebounds, he should do enough as a scorer to cash this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:50 a.m. ET on 01\/12\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paolo Banchero looked fantastic in his return to the court two days ago, and now he&#8217;s headlining my Sunday NBA prop bets.
