Saddiq Bey Over 20.5 Points (-115) at PointsBet

Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Hornets (7:10 pm ET)

While Saddiq Bey has had his ups and downs this season, the 22-year-old forward has been picking up his game of late. 

On the season, Bey is averaging 15.3 points per game and 33.8 minutes per game. However, the second-year star has seen a drastic uptick in production, averaging 40.3 minutes and 25.3 points. 

While the sportsbooks have recognized Bey’s upswing, his points total is still set at a reasonable 20.5. Bey has scored 21+ in seven of his past eight outings, including in five straight. Bey only needs 21 points, 4.3 below his average in his past eight. 

Bey should have no issues getting 21 facing a Hornets team ranked 30th in points, 327th in field goals, and 30th in three-pointers allowed this season. 

Seth Curry Over 4.5 Assists (+100) at DraftKings

Philadelphia 76ers  at Orlando Magic (7:10 pm ET)

The sportsbooks are finally recognizing Seth Curry’s ability to dish the basketball, setting his assists total at 4.5. It normally sat at 3.5, which was dead set at his season average. 

However, in his past six games, Curry’s assists average jumped up to 6.2, for good reason. In his past six games, Curry has logged at least five assists, finishing with 6+ in three of those outings with a ceiling of nine. 

Tonight, Curry will get the lowly Magic. The Magic are ranked 27th in assists allowed and are ranked 26th against point guards. 

With Shake Milton already ruled out with a back injury, expect Curry to continue managing the bulk of the ball-handling responsibilities for Philly, which bodes well for his assist total. 

If you think Curry and get six tonight, you can get (+190) odds at FanDuel as we speak. If you’re feeling froggy, you can get (+540) odds if you think he can get to eight.
