Hornets Team Total Under vs. Suns

7 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass

By Matt Moore

Since February 9th, we have consistently see the Hornets go under their team total.

The numbers continue to dip low and there will be a point where I stop playing so many unders, but this is not that spot. The Suns on a back-to-back the under is 7-4. They still have a size advantage with Jusuf Nurkic and will be able to score easily against the Hornets.

There is a large talent gap here and I see the Hornets struggling to score tonight.

Immanuel Quickley Over 36.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists vs. Magic

7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass

By Sean Little

First off, I want to say our thoughts are with RJ Barrett and his family after the heartbreaking news of Barrett's brother.

As of late, the only bright spot for the Raptors has been Immanuel Quickley. He has been on a tear and has gone over his PRA in his last three games. From watching him up close on the Knicks every game, he is just a fun player to watch. He is always going to bring intensity even when things aren't going well.

With Barrett's absence on Friday, I expect Quickley to take over for Toronto. Barrett's usage over the last 15 games is 24.2% and Quickley's is 22.2%. Without Barrett, it jumps up to 27.1% in the five games since the duo were traded. He is averaging 32 over the last three nights, and I see that continuing to increase without Barrett.

Under 218 vs. Clippers

8 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass

By Matt Moore

The second under I am taking is in the Pelicans-Clippers game.

Since February 9th, the Pelicans games have gone under in 10 of 13 games, including three straight unders. The Clippers will probably be short-handed and I would imagine they rest some guys. The Pelicans beat guys up defensively, especially at home.

I will continue to play the under trends until things change.
