Sam Merrill (Cleveland Cavaliers) Over 7.5 Points (-204)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Cavaliers gear up to face the Toronto Raptors, all eyes should be on Sam Merrill to eclipse that 7.5 points mark. Merrill has been an offensive spark lately, averaging nearly 10 points over his last five games and ramping it up to 11 when playing at home. The numbers don't lie; in his last 11 outings, he's hit the over in a remarkable 9 of them, showcasing his ability to deliver when it counts. Against the Raptors, who have struggled to contain perimeter shooters, Merrill's recent home performance indicates he's poised for a breakout. With an expected stat value of 14.27, there's a compelling case to believe he will not only meet but surpass that threshold. Given his solid home hit rate of 75% over the last four games, it's hard to ignore the potential here. Let's ride with Merrill to shine on his home court!

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate. While he's been solid lately, the numbers suggest that betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 12.5 is a savvy move. On the road, Diabate has averaged just 8.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in his last five games, falling short of our target. Against the Magic, his recent performances reveal even less, averaging 10.3 boards and just 2 assists away from home.With a hit rate of 4 out of his last 6 games on the road, it's clear that while he can fill the stat sheet, he's been held back in this matchup. This trend, combined with an expected stat value of only 8.95, makes the under a compelling bet. Expect Diabate to face a tough night in Orlando, keeping him below the 12.5 mark.

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) Under 6.5 Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming showdown between the Warriors and the Suns, targeting Draymond Green for under 6.5 assists feels like a smart play. While Green has a reputation for ball distribution, the numbers tell a different story when he's on the road. Over his last seven away games, he's managed to hit that mark just twice, averaging about 6.6 assists-just shy of our target. Moreover, his historical performance against the Suns has been particularly underwhelming, clocking in at an average of just 3.4 assists in their recent matchups. Considering the Suns' defensive schemes and their ability to limit playmakers, it's reasonable to expect Green to struggle in this environment. With an expected stat value of only 4.6 assists, the under looks enticing. As the Warriors look to assert their dominance, Green might focus more on defense and less on playmaking, making this bet a savvy choice.
