Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Malik Monk steps onto the court against the Charlotte Hornets, there's a compelling case to lean towards the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists, set at 21.5. While he's been solid overall, his recent away performances tell a different story. Averaging just 10.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 3 assists on the road, he's clearly struggling to make an impact outside of Sacramento. Against the Hornets, Monk's history shows he typically manages only 11.6 points and 2.5 rebounds, which is a far cry from the required total. Even more telling is his recent pattern; he's hit the under in four straight away games, which suggests a trend that's hard to ignore. With an expected stat value well below 21.5, it seems wise to anticipate another subdued outing for Monk in this matchup.

With a predicted stat value of just under 13, it's clear that the odds are leaning in favor of the under, making this a compelling prop bet to consider.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets welcome the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, especially regarding his three-point shooting. While he's been somewhat of a sharpshooter lately, averaging nearly five threes over his last five games, a closer look at the matchup paints a different picture. Against the Kings, he's only managed to sink 3.2 threes on average across their previous encounters, and intriguingly, he hasn't hit a single three at home against them lately. Despite his recent success, the pressure of home expectations could factor in, and with an average of just 4.6 threes made at home in the last five games, it's clear he might fall short of that 3.5 mark. Given the trends and the Kings' defensive schemes, betting the under on LaMelo's threes feels like a savvy play here.
