Tonight’s 76ers at Pelicans player props start with one simple question: who is actually going to be in the middle of the action when it matters. 76ers and Pelicans both come in with recent form worth noting, which matters when rotations tighten and roles stay consistent. The schedule angle matters too, with Pelicans on the second night of a back-to-back.

Two markets we keep coming back to are Points + Assists and Points + Rebounds + Assists. For Points + Assists, the players to watch are VJ Edgecombe for 76ers and Jeremiah Fears for Pelicans. In Points + Rebounds + Assists, start with Quentin Grimes on the 76ers side and Jeremiah Fears for Pelicans. If either team shortens the rotation, these are often the first places it shows up.

Here, we pull the key stat profiles for the main rotation players, then match those numbers to the prop markets to find the sweet spot. For the full game breakdown, read the full 76ers vs Pelicans matchup preview.

NBA injury report for PHI at NOP: out, questionable, and impact

This snapshot tracks the availability outlook for 76ers and Pelicans. When the report strips out rotation pieces, minutes concentrate and usage funnels toward the next-closest creators. For a broader futures snapshot, see NBA Finals betting odds.

• 76ers shows a meaningful minutes shortfall. If the same names stay out, minutes usually cluster around the main group.
• Pelicans has a meaningful minutes hole listed. If it holds, minutes tend to stack toward the core and usage follows.

PHI at NOP Player Assists Props Picks

Start Player Assists Props with a simple team lens built on three numbers: assist rate, assists per game, and turnovers per game. Philadelphia 76ers assist rate 59.6%, assists per game 24.5, turnovers per game 13.3; New Orleans Pelicans assist rate 59.4%, assists per game 25, turnovers per game 13.2.

Assist rate and assists per game look close for Philadelphia 76ers and New Orleans Pelicans, so turnovers per game becomes the cleaner separator. A cleaner offensive path usually keeps assist volume alive, and a sloppy turnover profile can hand the opponent extra possessions that still turn into assisted finishes.

• Philadelphia 76ers pick: fanduel +154 u7.5. Tyrese Maxey averages 6.7 assists, and the line is 7.5. A Simple stat-first read says this is a spot to flag, then sanity-check minutes, role, and matchup.
• New Orleans Pelicans pick: fanduel -112 o2.5. Jordan Poole averages 3.1 assists, and the line is 2.5. A Simple stat-first read says this is a spot to flag, then sanity-check minutes, role, and matchup.

Recent 3P% gives the best snapshot of current rhythm, and New Orleans Pelicans is at 34.9 while Philadelphia 76ers is at 36.9. The season 3-point percentage baseline is 0.2 for New Orleans Pelicans and 0.2 for Philadelphia 76ers.

• PHI pick: Fanduel Over +182 . Tyrese Maxey (PHI) checks in at a proxy of 4.3 made threes with a line of 3.5. A stat-first says "Over lean", and the price implies the market is not treating that side as the most likely, which is the kind of spot to flag and then sanity-check (minutes/role, matchup, etc.).

• NOP pick: Fanduel Over +154 . Jeremiah Fears (NOP) lines up with a proxy of 2.03 made threes against a line of 1.5. A stat-first says "Over lean", and the price implies the market is not treating that side as the most likely, which is the kind of spot to flag and then sanity-check (minutes/role, matchup, etc.).

76ers vs Pelicans Player Points Props Picks

Looking at recent form, Philadelphia 76ers has gone 6-4 with a 60% clip, racking up 115.5 points per game and allowing 116.6. New Orleans Pelicans is 4-6 (40%), scoring 112.7 and allowing 114.3. Those marks are the first stop for points props.

The quick way to read points props is combining who is scoring lately with who is leaking points lately. Philadelphia 76ers grades out better by that blend, and it is a practical lens before choosing a side.

• Philadelphia 76ers play in this matchup : FanDuel Under +100. VJ Edgecombe checks in at 15 points a game versus a 16.5 line. The first numbers read leans "Under," and the price signals it is not fully baked in, so this is a good spot to double-check usage and shot volume.
• New Orleans Pelicans best look in this game : FanDuel Under +108. Jordan Poole is producing 14.4 a night , while the line is 21.5. On a quick stat scan it reads "Under," and the odds leave a bit of room , so confirm rotation and any late role change.

Philadelphia 76ers at New Orleans Pelicans Player Points + Assists Prop Picks

In the past five-game stretch, Philadelphia 76ers are 1-4 and New Orleans Pelicans are 2-3.

Recent winning form counts for points plus assists, and the cleaner angle here favors New Orleans Pelicans when roles stay stable.

• PHI pick: FanDuel Under posted at -104 for VJ Edgecombe points plus assists. On the stat sheet, VJ Edgecombe carries 19 points plus assists per game with a line of 20.5, so the clear lean is Under; circle it and verify minutes, role, and matchup.
• NOP look: FanDuel Under with odds priced at -102 on Jeremiah Fears points plus assists. The numbers point to Under because 16.3 sits above or below 17.5, and the spot is worth a quick recheck on minutes and usage.

PHI vs NOP NBA Player Rebounds Prop Picks

If offensive rebounds do not beat the opponent’s defensive rebounds on either side, the rebound read is steadier, so rebounds per game (Philadelphia 76ers 43.4 vs New Orleans Pelicans 43.6) becomes the safest anchor.

Selection is stat first, comparing rebounds per game to the rebounds line and using minutes per game, usage percentage, and rebound percentage as backup, so the final pick feels grounded instead of random.

• PHI pick: Caesars Under +111 . When a player averages 4.1 and the line is 7.5, the props usually land on the side that matches the gap, here Under.
• NOP pick: FanDuel Under +148 . The simple read is Derik Queen at 7.3 versus 10.5, which creates value when minutes and role stay steady.

PHI at NOP Points + Rebounds + Assists Props Picks

Points + rebounds + assists props live in the space between shot-making and shot-denial. If one team owns the offensive rating edge while the other side holds the defensive rating edge, PRA can split into assists from makes and rebounds from misses. The sharp test is to see which side is more likely to control the flow. The New Orleans Pelicans field-goal percentage and the Philadelphia 76ers field-goal percentage are worth a quick scan because made shots can power assists while missed shots can fuel rebounds.

Win percentage is not the bet, but it can signal which team keeps its offense organized and which team drifts into broken possessions. The picks use a clean lane by lining up each NBA Player season PRA average against the line, then taking the strongest edge and price for each team, provided the market data is complete.

• PHI pick: If the goal is PRA value, the top lane is FanDuel Over -106 on Quentin Grimes. The average sits at 20 and the line is 19.5, so the advantage signals up fast, with about 94 profit per $100 stake.
• NOP pick: If the target is PRA value, the best lane is FanDuel Under -106 on Jeremiah Fears. The average sits at 20 and the line is 21.5, so the advantage spells up fast, with about 94 profit per $100 stake.
