Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Blazers vs. Pelicans (Zion Williamson & Anfernee Simons To Have Scoring Battle)

The Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans both are coming off wins last night. The Blazers used a late run to create separation between them and the Hornets, while the Pelicans sweated out a win over the Bulls.

Tonight, the Blazers will put their win streak on the line while the Pelicans try to start theirs. For this matchup, let’s check out the best props to back in the game.

Let’s jump right into them. 

Best Prop Bets For Blazers-Pelicans

• Zion Williamson OVER 23.5 Points 
• Anfernee Simons OVER 19.5 Points
• Brandon Ingram UNDER 5.5 Assists

Zion Williamson OVER 23.5 Points 

Williamson missed this line in his last game, but it wasn’t because of anything wrong. It was simply a lack of aggression. He took only 11 shots last night in Chicago. That will certainly change tonight. Jerami Grant and Jusuf Nurkic missed last night’s game in Charlotte. If they are out again tonight, there will be nobody at the rim to stop Williamson. 

Anfernee Simons OVER 19.5 Points

Simons is averaging 22 points per game on the season and has scored at least 25 in three of his last four games. Yes, he’s coming off a down game, but that was because his three-point shooting was half of what it normally is. With Herb Jones set to guard Damian Lillard tonight, Simons is going to have all the opportunities to be the lead scorer tonight. 

Brandon Ingram UNDER 5.5 Assists

Ingram has missed this line in three of his last four games and is averaging basically 4 assists per game. While it would be nice to have Ingram as another facilitator, his strength is scoring the ball. This is a great Blazers defense that Ingram has to face, but I think he’ll make use of his length advantage by rising up over defenders rather than keeping the ball in his hands.
