Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Moussa Diabate's prop bet for under 12.5 combined rebounds and assists stands out. While Diabate has shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he may struggle to reach that threshold in this matchup. Over his last five games, he's averaged 8.6 rebounds and a modest 3 assists, falling short of 12.5. Notably, his performance tends to dip when on the road, with averages of just 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in away games. Against the Magic, his numbers are even less promising, with an average of only 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in their last five encounters. With a hit rate of just 3 out of 4 in recent outings and a solid 4 out of 6 on the road, the under on Diabate's combined stats feels like a smart play as he navigates this challenging matchup.

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) Under 6.5 Assists (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Warriors gear up to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Draymond Green, but betting on him for over 6.5 assists could be a risky play. While he's averaged a solid 8 assists in his last five games overall, his numbers dip significantly when playing away, where he's only dished out 6.6 assists on average. Against Phoenix, Green's recent history is even less encouraging-averaging just 3.4 assists in their last five meetings. Considering the Warriors will be on the road, where Green has hit the under on this mark five out of his last seven games, it's tough to see him breaking that trend. With an expected stat value of only 4.6 assists, this feels like the right spot to fade Green. The Suns' defense will likely keep him from reaching that 6.5 threshold, making the under a strong play in this matchup.
