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 Tyrese Maxey for 76ers and Derik Queen for Pelicans. In Points + Rebounds + Assists, start with Quentin Grimes on the 76ers side and Zion Williamson 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.

• If several players carry tags, the last update often matters most. A late scratch can reorder the rotation and push extra shots and assists to the next tier.

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 58.9%, assists per game 24.6, turnovers per game 13; New Orleans Pelicans assist rate 59.6%, assists per game 25.1, turnovers per game 13.5.

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 6.6 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.

76ers vs Pelicans NBA Player 3PM Props

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 4.13 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 2.2 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 at Pelicans NBA Player Points Prop Picks

Recent form matters for points props, and it starts here: Philadelphia 76ers is 6-4 with a 60% win rate, scoring 115.5 and allowing 116.6. New Orleans Pelicans counters with 4-6 (40%), adding 112.7 and giving up 114.3. That tug is where a points line can sit high .

Recent form does not lock in anything, but it does shape the range for points props. Philadelphia 76ers looks better positioned to score by those splits, and that is the kind of setup that can tilt a points read.

• Philadelphia 76ers angle to start with : FanDuel Under +100. VJ Edgecombe is putting up 16 points a night , and the number is 16.5. A clean stats-first check points to "Under," and the odds hint the market is still reserved , so it is worth confirming minutes and role.
• New Orleans Pelicans pick here : FanDuel Under +108. Jordan Poole checks in at 13.4 points a game versus a 21.5 line. The early stat-only read leans "Under," and the price shows it is not completely baked in, so this is a good spot to double-check usage and shot volume.

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

The past form reads simple: Philadelphia 76ers are 1-4, and New Orleans Pelicans are 2-3 in the last five.

That nod toward New Orleans Pelicans plays for points plus assists props because better form often ties to steadier scoring and cleaner setup touches.

• PHI look: FanDuel Under posted at -110 for Tyrese Maxey points plus assists. With 34.9 points plus assists against a 37.5 line, the clean angle says Under; mark it and recheck rotation stability before locking anything in.
• NOP pick: FanDuel Under priced at -106 for Derik Queen points plus assists. This simple angle leans Under because 15.4 and 16.5 are separated by 1.1; circle it and double-check role, minutes, and matchup fit.

Philadelphia 76ers at New Orleans Pelicans NBA Player Rebounds Prop Picks

If offensive rebounds do not beat the opponent’s defensive rebounds on either side, the rebound lean is steadier, so rebounds per game (Philadelphia 76ers 43.6 vs New Orleans Pelicans 43.9) becomes the safest anchor.

The best pick for each side comes from a direct rebounds per game versus rebounds line comparison, with minutes per game, usage percentage, and rebound percentage used to validate the read and keep the choice sharp.

• PHI pick: Caesars Under +111 . The clean read is Adem Bona at 4.3 versus 7.5, which creates value when minutes and role stay steady.
• NOP pick: FanDuel Under +148 . When a player averages 7.1 and the line is 10.5, the props often hit on the side that matches the gap, here Under.

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 straight 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 fast check because made shots can carry assists while missed shots can fuel rebounds.

A higher win percentage often tracks cleaner execution, and cleaner execution tends to show up in assists and efficient scoring. The selection stays basic straight : PRA per game versus the line, edge threshold check, then the best return among qualifying NBA Players from each team.

• PHI pick: The sharp route is to trust the season average and play FanDuel Over -106 on Quentin Grimes Points + rebounds + assists. This one leans hard because 20.3 PRA per game clears (or trails) 19.5 by 0.8.
• NOP pick: The sharp route is to ride the season average and play FanDuel Under -106 on Zion Williamson Points + rebounds + assists. This one points firmly because 29.9 PRA per game clears (or trails) 31.5 by 1.6.
