What's good gang, your boy PPS is back ready to cash in on another NBA player prop! Today we are heading to Charlotte versus the Magic to the rookie sensation, Paolo Banchero. Tonight we are betting his P + R over 31.5 -110. 

Paolo Banchero has shown that the rookie learning curve is something to be laughed at. He has been a beast since game one, scoring 20+ points in every game he's played. The Magic have allowed him to be a focal point of this offense. 18+ shot attempts in 4 of 5 games, and over 33 minutes in every game this season. Paolo is going to get a huge usage bump as well with Cole Anthony and Suggs out of this game. So far this season, Banchero has a 29.9 percent usage rate and will fill the void of Anthony (23%) and Suggs (26%) in this one too. 

Charlotte has been terrible outside of game one this season. Charlotte is the perfect matchup for Paolo because the Hornets are missing LaMelo, Bridges and now Rozier for yet another game. Game should stay close and the Hornets are only a 1.5 point favorite over this injury riddled Magic team.  Why is this a good matchup for Paolo? Let me tell you why. Paolo is facing a team who has allowed the 3rd most offensive rebounds this year and is the 8th worst overall rebounding team this season. Pace: Orlando is going to get a 4 possession boost in this matchup facing off against the Hornets. Hornets rank 7th in the NBA in pace and should allow Banchero to continue his torrid start to his rookie campaign.
