He’s under in 9/14 since the all star break, with the overs mostly vs weaker competition (ATL, BK, WSH, TOR x2). NO is the 6th best defensive team in the NBA (#1 over the L15). And they rank first in PnR defense - Wagner is shooting abysmally from deep: 4/31 in March. Plus, he’s more likely to see Herb Jones than Paolo would be (assuming he’ll get Zion/Nance).
