Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Malik Monk heads to Charlotte to face his former team, the numbers suggest he might struggle to make a significant impact. In his last few outings, he's averaged just 10.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 3 assists on the road-well below the 22.5 mark we're targeting. Monk's recent form against the Hornets has seen him score around 11.6 points, and when playing away, that jumps to only 13.5. Even more telling is Monk's overall hit rate; he's gone under this threshold in 13 of his last 17 games, and he's a perfect 4-for-4 on the road lately. With the Hornets' defense focusing on preventing easy buckets and limiting assists, it paints a challenging night ahead for Monk. Given these trends and his current average of roughly 15 points, rebounds, and assists combined, the under feels like a solid play here.

Given these trends, targeting the under on Monk's 17.5 seems like a savvy play for this matchup.
