Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 2.5 Assists (-189)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face off against the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate and his assists prop. Betting on the under at 2.5 looks like a savvy move. In his last five games, Diabate has averaged just 1 assist, and at home, that number dips even further to 0.8. This trend isn't a fluke; against the Magic, he's managed only 1 assist per game in their recent encounters. Even more compelling is Diabate's home court performance, where he's hit the under in all of his last nine games. With a remarkable hit rate of 14 out of 15 overall, the odds are stacked against him reaching that 2.5 mark. Given the defensive intensity we can expect from Orlando and Diabate's recent form, this is a prop that feels particularly safe to back.

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face the Orlando Magic, keeping an eye on Moussa Diabate's scoring and playmaking is key. Despite the Hornets playing at home, Diabate has struggled to make a significant impact against Orlando, averaging just 5.3 points in their last five encounters. This trend deepens when we look at his recent form-he's averaged 7.8 points and a mere 1 assist over his last five games. At home, those numbers rise slightly to 8.6 points and 0.8 assists, but still fall short of the 10.5 mark we're eyeing. With a robust hit rate of 13 out of 16 games going under this threshold, the odds favor a subdued performance from him. Given his current trajectory, expecting him to stay under that 10.5 line feels like a smart play.
