Best Knicks-Magic Player Prop: Will Wendell Carter Jr. Put Up Points? (February 7)

February 06, 2023 | 4:52 PM by Isaiah Sirois
Orlando visits New Orleans on Monday, and an NBA Magic-Pelicans player prop involving Wendell Carter Jr.'s defense has value...

The Orlando Magic will host the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. They won’t have Mo Bamba, who remains suspended after getting into a fight with Austin Rivers. Bettors looking for an angle for Tuesday’s Knicks-Magic game should tail this NBA player prop at DraftKings — the book has left a bit much value on the Wendell Carter Jr. player prop markets. Check out OddsShopper’s tools for other sharp plays.

Best Knicks-Magic NBA Player Prop | Wendell Carter Jr.

Wendell Carter Jr. Prop O/U 14.5 Points

The New York Knicks won’t have their starting center, Mitchell Robinson, for another few weeks. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has opted to use Jericho Sims as his starting center. Unfortunately, Sims grades out as a negative defender, far worse than Robinson, who ranks 22nd overall in defensive RAPTOR rating. As a result, New York’s defense has routinely given up points to centers who can do more than dunk or make layups.

Some examples of centers the Knicks have struggled against include Joel Embiid (31), Bam Adebayo (32), Anthony Davis (27) and Jarrett Allen (24). Nicolas Claxton (13) and Precious Achiuwa (12) also put together solid showings. The Knicks have especially struggled against mid-range shooters — they have allowed the fifth-most mid-range shots per game (4.9). The Knicks have also allowed the eighth-most 3-pointers from above the break (9.4).

Wendell Carter Jr. profiles as the type of center who can toast the Robinson-less Knicks. He can effectively shoot from both mid-range and the top of the key. More importantly, this number sits below his season average (15.1) and his average in games that Mo Bamba doesn’t play (15.9). Carter scored 17 points against the Knicks earlier in the season with Robinson active and should put together another respectable performance on Tuesday night.

Although not every book was quick to open the bidding for Tuesday’s Knicks-Magic game, DraftKings Sportsbook posted numbers early. However, the book’s decision to set Carter’s total to 14.5 — and to leave the over in the plus money — is somewhat confusing. Bettors should head to DraftKings to back Carter before this number ticks below even. Bettors yet to register at DraftKings can even get $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager!
