As the Charlotte Hornets take on the Sacramento Kings, Moussa Diabate's rebounding numbers suggest a compelling case for targeting the under at 13.5. While he's shown some promise, averaging 10.8 boards at home, the match-up against the Kings could be a tougher challenge. Historically, he's snagged only 5 rebounds per game against Sacramento at home, and his recent form against them stands at just 7.3 overall. Looking deeper, his overall rebound average in the last five games is 9.4, but considering the Kings' ability to limit opposing bigs, it seems unlikely he'll hit that 13.5 mark. With a hit rate of 12 out of the last 14 games for going under this line, it feels like a safe play. Especially with an expected stat value of just 8.53, betting the under here is a shrewd move as we anticipate a challenging night on the boards for Diabate
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-312)

As the Kings travel to face the Charlotte Hornets, Malik Monk might find himself struggling to reach that lofty 27.5 mark for points, rebounds, and assists. His recent away performances paint a vivid picture: averaging just 10.8 points and 1.4 rebounds over his last five games on the road, he's not exactly lighting it up when playing outside Sacramento. Monk's averages against the Hornets are similarly underwhelming, with only 11.6 points in encounters, dipping even lower to 10.8 when on the road. The numbers don't lie; over the last 20 games, he's stayed under this total 18 times, and impressively, he's hit the under in all 15 of his away games. With the Hornets' defense tightening up and Monk's away struggles, betting the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists seems not just wise-it feels inevitable.

As the New York Knicks prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns and his rebounding numbers. At first glance, 15.5 seems like a reasonable target, but let's dive deeper. Towns has been averaging around 12.2 rebounds over his last five games, and even in his home games, he's pulling down about 14. Against the Pelicans, his numbers dip to just 10 rebounds at home. With his recent performances reflecting a hit rate of 85% on the under, it's clear he struggles to meet that lofty mark against this specific opponent. The Knicks' rebounding scheme is efficient, and they know how to box out, making Towns' path to 16 rebounds a treacherous one. Betting the under on Towns feels like a smart play, given the trends and matchup dynamics. It's a gamble worth taking as he faces the Knicks on their turf.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 23.5 Points + Assists (-244)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As Malik Monk gears up to face his former squad, the odds seem to favor a quieter night for him in Charlotte. While Monk has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 17.6 points and 4 assists over his last five outings, his performance takes a hit on the road. He's only mustered about 10.8 points and 3 assists in his last five away games, which is well below our betting target of 23.5.Historically, against the Hornets, his scoring average dips to 11.6 points, and when he's playing away, that number falls to just 13.5. Given that he's hit the Under in 17 of his last 20 games and is a perfect 4-for-4 in away contests recently, it's hard to see Monk breaking through this threshold tonight. With a strong implied probability of 70.9% leaning towards the Under, it feels like a smart move to bank on a subdued performance in his
Maxime Raynaud (Sacramento Kings) Under 11.5 Rebounds (-476)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Maxime Raynaud and his rebounding numbers. Despite his potential, the stats suggest that hitting the over on 11.5 boards might be a tall order. Raynaud's recent performances show a clear trend, with his expected rebounds sitting at just 7.96. This isn't just a fluke; he's hit the under in his last three games, making it a solid bet.Playing away, Raynaud faces a Hornets team that's been effective at limiting opponents on the glass. Plus, with the Kings' style of play emphasizing pace over second-chance opportunities, Raynaud may find himself out of position more often than not. Given these factors, betting the under on Raynaud's rebounds is not just a hunch; it's a calculated move rooted in solid data.
Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-400)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the New York Knicks prepare to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Mitchell Robinson, but betting under 12.5 rebounds could be a savvy move. Despite Robinson's impressive rebound averages against this opponent-12 rebounds in their last five encounters-his recent home performance tells a different story. At Madison Square Garden, he's averaging just 7.4 rebounds over his last five games. With the Knicks' offensive style potentially limiting his rebounding opportunities, it's hard to see him surpassing that 12.5 mark, especially when you consider he's hit the under in 9 of his last 9 home games. The Pelicans are known for their speed and perimeter play, which could further reduce Robinson's chances to grab boards. With an implied probability of 80% and a model edge leaning towards 9 expected rebounds, betting the under on Robinson feels like a calculated risk worth taking.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 17.5 Points (-192)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Sacramento Kings prepare to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes will be on Malik Monk. However, betting on Monk to go over 17.5 points might not be the best move. Despite his recent scoring average of 17.6 points over the last five games, his performance away from home tells a different story. Monk has only managed an average of 10.8 points on the road, with a mere 13.5 against this Hornets squad in his last outing.His overall hit rate shows a solid 7 of 10 in recent games, but when looking at his last four away games, he's consistently fallen under the mark, hitting it just 4 times out of 4. With the Kings' offense expected to be balanced, Monk might find himself sharing the spotlight more than he would like. Target the Under; it just makes sense in this matchup.
