When the Toronto Raptors hit the road to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but perhaps not in the way you'd think. Despite his recent surge in assists, averaging an impressive 12.2 over the last five games, there's a compelling case for taking the under on his 10.5 assist line. Barnes has struggled to replicate that success away from home, dipping to about 9.6 assists in similar situations. Against the Grizzlies, his numbers drop even further, with an average of just 5.2 assists in their last five encounters. The Grizzlies' defense is no joke, and with their ability to clamp down on playmakers, it's reasonable to expect Barnes to be held in check. With a robust 76.3% implied probability backing this line, the under feels like a wise move as he navigates a tough road matchup.

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Indiana Pacers at home, all eyes are on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding performance. While his hustle has been commendable, averaging 8.8 rebounds over the last five games, recent trends suggest that he's likely to fall short of the 12.5 mark. At home, Diabate's numbers dip slightly, with an average of 8.6 rebounds, and he's consistently hit the under against the Pacers, posting just 10 rebounds in their last match-up at Spectrum Center. With his recent form showing a flawless 6-for-6 hit rate, it's tempting to think he might extend that streak, but the math points elsewhere. The expected stat value is notably lower at 8.08, aligning with a high implied probability of 85.5% for the under. In this matchup, it seems wise to bank on Diabate staying under that threshold.
