Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to host the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, yet it might be wise to consider taking the under on his rebounds at 9.5. Though his recent performances show an average of 10.8 boards at home, the trend against the Kings paints a different picture; he's pulled down just 5 rebounds in their last matchup. With Sacramento's frontcourt boasting a solid rebounding presence, Diabate's opportunities could be limited. Additionally, his overall hit rate shows that he's only surpassed this number 6 times in his last 10 games. While 9.4 rebounds per game in his last five suggests he's capable, expect a tighter game against the Kings where Diabate might not find the same success. The numbers tell a compelling story, and in this matchup, the under seems like the smart play.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (+112)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Charlotte Hornets take the court against the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball. While he's been a dynamic scorer, recent trends suggest that betting the under on his threes made might be the smart move. Over his last five games, he's averaged 4.8 three-pointers, but at home, that number dips slightly to 4.6. What's particularly telling is his matchup against the Kings, where he's averaged just 3.2 threes in their last encounters, and even more striking, he hasn't hit a single three at home against them in their last matchup. With a hit rate of 60% at home over the last 15 games, it's clear he can score, but the Kings' defense has a unique way of stifling him. Given these factors, targeting the under on 3.5 threes feels like a savvy play.
