NBA Prop: Wendell Carter Points | April 22

There are six NBA games on the schedule tonight, which makes this a much more manageable slate. With all the injury news and question marks, it can be a daunting task to keep up with the NBA. Tonight a handful of teams are playing on back-to-backs and a few in big-time matchups. There is plenty to break down for NBA betting and a lot of props with potential value.

NBA Prop Bet: Wendell Carter Over 13.5 Points (+104 – FanDuel)

Sometimes bettors need to look to under-the-radar players who do not generate a lot of noise when the number is right. Tonight that is the case with Wendell Carter, whose Magic squad is at home against the Pelicans. New Orleans is an 8-point road favorite in a game with a 224.5 total. Despite the Magic being dogs at home this is a good spot for Carter’s points prop of 13.5.

Carter fell out of favor with the Bulls and was dealt to Orlando at the deadline. This gave him an opportunity for a fresh start, and he is taking advantage with a quality April campaign. He has played 29 minutes per game and is averaging 15.4 points with his new squad. The frontcourt for Orlando is thin, and the minutes should be secure on a nightly basis for Carter. He is also taking north of 10 shots per game, and that shouldn’t change against New Orleans. The Pelicans have been consistently terrible in most defensive metrics, and this game should stay close enough to keep the minutes in check for all the regulars on both sides. Carter will have ample opportunities to contribute here, and if this stays close, he could push for north of 30 minutes.

The final factor is the price via OddsShopper. The over on 13.5 points is the underdog, and there are a few +104s available across the industry. Over 13.5 should be the favorite on this prop, so getting plus money solidifies the play. Look for Carter to have some success offensively tonight, and even with it not being the most glamorous prop, there is still enough value to make a play.
