Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into an away matchup against the Orlando Magic, there's a compelling case to be made for taking the under on Moussa Diabate's combined rebounds and assists at 12.5. While Diabate has shown promise, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games, the numbers tell a different story when he's on the road. His away averages dip slightly to 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists, signaling a tougher environment for him to thrive. Against the Magic, he's averaged just 7 rebounds and a mere 1.2 assists in their last five encounters, which tightens the window even further. With his recent away performance hitting the mark only 67% of the time, the likelihood of him surpassing that 12.5 threshold feels slim. Given these trends, targeting the under on Diabate presents a sound opportunity, especially as he faces the Magic's defense.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

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, but it's worth considering a different angle: the under on his rebounds total of 10.5. Although Diabate has flashed potential, his recent performances suggest he's likely to fall short. Over the last five games, he's averaged 8.6 rebounds, dipping to 8 per game when playing away. In matchups against the Magic, he's consistently struggled, pulling down just 7 boards on average. Even in his last three away games, where he's been efficient, he still hasn't surpassed this mark. With the Magic boasting a solid frontcourt, it's reasonable to expect Diabate might find it tough to hit double digits in this one. Taking the under feels like a savvy move, especially with his overall hit rate standing strong at 5 of 6, but the numbers suggest this could be a challenging outing for him.

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Over 11.5 Points (-175)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Warriors gear up to take on the Suns, all eyes should be on Brandin Podziemski. This young guard has been on a scoring tear, averaging nearly 19 points over his last five games, and he's shown a knack for stepping up in away matches, dropping 17.6 points on the road. What's particularly intriguing is his recent performance against Phoenix; he's hit an average of 14.4 points per game in their last encounters. With a hit rate of 10 out of 11 in his last games, Podziemski is not just a player riding a hot streak-he's become a reliable scorer for the Warriors. Given that the Suns' defense won't easily contain his versatility, taking the over on his 11.5 points feels like a savvy move. Expect Podziemski to make his mark as he continues to flourish in this pivotal matchup.
