Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+106)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding prowess. However, betting on him to stay under 9.5 boards seems like the smart play. While he's averaged a commendable 10.8 rebounds at home recently, his effectiveness dips against the Kings, where he's managed just 5 rebounds per game at home over their last five matchups. With a recent hit rate of only 6 out of his last 10 games and an expected stat value of 8.53, it's clear he's been struggling to find that rhythm. The Kings' defensive scheme could further limit his chances to crash the boards. There's certainly a case to be made here to capitalize on the under, especially considering the context of this matchup and Diabate's recent performance trends.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (+114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court at home against the Sacramento Kings, there's a compelling case to target him for under 3.5 made threes. While his recent form shows he's averaged 4.8 threes in his last five games, the matchup tells a different story. Historically, he's struggled to find his rhythm against the Kings, averaging only 3.2 threes in their recent encounters, and shockingly, he hasn't even registered a single three at home against them in their last matchup. The Kings' defensive strategy may force him into tougher shots, particularly with the heightened intensity expected in this game. Plus, with a home hit rate of 60% over the last 15 games, there's reason to believe he'll have some off nights, especially when facing a formidable opponent. All signs point towards a quieter night from beyond the arc for LaMelo, making the under a savvy play.
