Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Assists (-104)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Kings face off against the Hornets, Malik Monk's assist total becomes a fascinating angle to evaluate. Despite his impressive performance overall, Monk's recent numbers suggest he might struggle to hit the over on 4.5 assists. In his last five games, he's averaged just three assists away from home and has only managed 4.4 assists against Charlotte in previous matchups, plummeting to a mere average of 3 in those contests played on the road. Moreover, he's been on a hot streak, hitting the under in four consecutive away games, which raises eyebrows about his ability to maintain that pace against the Hornets. With an expected stat value of just 2.86 and a solid track record of 12 out of 17 games hitting under the mark, it's tough to envision Monk breaking through this time. Targeting the under on his assists feels like a savvy play as he navigates this matchup in Charlotte.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Kings face off against the Hornets, keep an eye on Malik Monk's point and assist total, particularly with the under of 20.5 looking enticing. While Monk has been solid overall, averaging 17.6 points and 4 assists in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. He's only notched 10.8 points and 3 assists on the road recently, which shifts our expectations significantly.Against Charlotte, Monk's numbers dip further, averaging just 11.6 points and 4.4 assists. With the Hornets' defense tightening up, it's hard to see him breaking through that 20.5 threshold. An impressive hit rate of 12 out of his last 16 games supports this trend, and he's been under in all four of his recent away games. Given Monk's current trajectory, this under feels like a smart move.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-137)

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, but it might be wise to consider betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 12.5. Over the last five games, Diabate has averaged just 9.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists-numbers that don't quite stack up against that line. At home, he's even less effective, averaging only 1.8 assists and 10.8 boards, which further raises eyebrows. Against the Kings, his historical numbers don't inspire confidence either; he's managed just 5 rebounds and 0 assists in their last matchup at home. With his overall hit rate sitting at 3 out of 5 recently, and a solid 13 out of 20 at home, the odds suggest tonight's performance could fall short. Given the expected stat value of 9.7, targeting the under feels like a savvy play in this matchup
