The Orlando Magic are fighting for their postseason lives — with a 34-38 record, Paolo Banchero and Co. sit eighth in the Eastern Conference just two games ahead of the seventh-seeded Hawks.
Tonight, Banchero and his teammates face off against the Charlotte Hornets on the road. Here’s the top prop bets for the star forward on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Paolo Banchero prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Banchero’s lines for tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook are set at 27.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST combo line sits at 40.5.
The Magic are -230 favorites on the Moneyline for tonight’s game, which carries a total of 213.5 points on DKSB. The opposing Hornets are 23rd in defensive rating and allow the 15th-most opponent points per game while playing at the seventh-slowest pace league-wide.
The first prop worth checking out is Banchero’s three-pointers line. He’s tallied over 2.5 made threes in six of his last 10 games, and while he’s only shooting 33% from distance, he’s attempting a career-high 5.9 threes per game this season. Given his recent success shooting from beyond the arc, over 2.5 three-pointers at +150 odds holds some appeal for bettors who don’t mind a little bit of risk.
As an alternative, Banchero’s points prop is also a prop to consider tonight. The 27.5-point line is high, but the third-year forward is the alpha for this Magic team. He’s going to have the ball in his hands plenty, and having gone over this line in seven of his last 10 games (including three straight), taking him to continue this scoring streak is a solid option at -125 odds.
