Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+109)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Charlotte Hornets host the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding efforts. While he's been solid overall, his recent numbers against the Kings paint a different picture. In his last five outings against Sacramento, he's averaging a mere 7.3 boards, and at home, that dips even further to just 5. With his current home average resting at 10.8, it's tempting to think he'll hit the mark. However, Diabate has only cleared 9.5 rebounds in 60% of his last 20 home games. He's been inconsistent lately, managing just 6 out of 10 over the last stretch. Given these trends and the Kings' ability to limit second-chance opportunities, betting the under on Diabate's rebounds seems like a savvy move. Expect him to fall short of that 9.5 threshold as the game unfolds.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face off against the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, but not for the reasons most might expect. While he's had a solid run lately, averaging nearly 4.8 threes over his last five games, a deeper dive reveals a compelling reason to expect him to fall short of 3.5 made threes tonight. Historically, Ball has struggled against the Kings, hitting just 3.2 threes in their recent matchups, and remarkably, he hasn't drained a single three at home against them. With the Hornets aiming to tighten up their defense, we might see Ball focus more on playmaking rather than shooting. Given these trends and his average of 4.6 threes at home, the under on 3.5 threes feels like the savvy play as Ball might just not find his rhythm tonight.
