Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Points + Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to take on the Orlando Magic, eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but betting on him to surpass 10.5 points and assists seems risky. Over his last five outings, Diabate has averaged just 7.8 points and a mere one assist, and at home, those numbers dip slightly to 8.6 points and 0.8 assists. His recent history against the Magic isn't encouraging either; he's only managed 5.3 points per game and 1.3 assists, and when playing in Charlotte, those figures drop to 2 points and 1 assist. With a hit rate of just 7 out of the last 9 home games going under this line, it's easy to see why this prop is worth targeting. The odds favor the under, and with an expected stat value of 7.77, Diabate is poised to stay below the threshold.

Jevon Carter (Chicago Bulls) Under 2.5 Assists (-189)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Hornets' clash with the Magic, Jevon Carter's assist numbers present a compelling case for taking the under on 2.5. Despite his hustle, Carter has been averaging just 1 assist over his last five games, and his home performances dip even further to 0.8. When facing Orlando specifically, he's managed about 1.2 assists lately, which suggests he might struggle to reach that 2.5 mark tonight. Moreover, the Magic's defense has been solid against guards, limiting opposing players to an average of 1.8 assists in their last five outings. With a hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 games for hitting under this number, the trends are favoring a tight performance from Carter. Given all these factors, it seems likely we'll see him stay below that threshold, making the under a smart play.
