The New Orleans Pelicans host the Chicago Bulls for their first game of the 2023-24 NBA season. The Pelicans have a healthy Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram for their first game. Ingram played 64 games last season, the most he has appeared in since his rookie season in 2016-17.
Although Ingram was on the court more often, his production went down. He averaged 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game. At 27 years old, Ingram is entering his ninth season in the NBA. He is +650 on DraftKings Sportsbook to be named an NBA All-Star this season.
Here are some player props for Brandon Ingram for the Pelicans’ first game of the season against the Bulls.
Best Brandon Ingram Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The betting lines for Ingram are 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook. Ingram had a rough postseason, averaging 14 points a game on 34 percent shooting from the field.
The line is at -120 for Ingram to score more than 20.5 points. Last year in the regular season, Ingram hit that mark 31 times. Including the play-in and playoffs, Ingram only scored 21 points or more two times during the last 10 games of the season.
The Pelicans added another big-time offensive player, Dejounte Murray. With Murray now in the fold, Ingram’s scoring opportunities will decrease, and he will have to be a more efficient player. Ingram had over 5.5 rebounds once in the postseason, so it might be wise to look at his under. Ingram’s under 5.5 rebounds is -120 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Ingram made 86 three-pointers in 64 regular-season games last season, the most he has made since the 2020-21 season. The value isn’t great at -238 for over 0.5 three-pointers, but he hit at least one three-point shot in 43 games last year.
