Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings gear up for their matchup against the Hornets, it's hard to ignore Malik Monk's struggles to distribute the ball in away games. Sure, he's been a solid contributor, but the numbers tell a different story when he's not at home. His average assists drop to just three per game on the road, and against Charlotte, he's only managed 3 assists in their last away encounter. With a recent average of 4 assists over his last five games, he's still not hitting that 4.5 mark consistently. In fact, he's gone under this number in three of his last four away games, and his overall hit rate stands at an impressive 12 of 17, but those numbers take a dip on the road. Given the trends and matchups, betting on him to stay under 4.5 assists feels like a smart play.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-132)

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 betting on him to go over 12.5 rebounds and assists might be a stretch. At home, Diabate's recent performances reveal a troubling trend-averaging just 10.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his last five games at the Spectrum Center. His numbers against the Kings tell a similar story, with just 5 rebounds and an assist average of 0 at home in their recent matchups. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, hitting the over in only 3 of his last 5 outings, the Kings defense is no joke, and their ability to limit second-chance opportunities could stifle Diabate's contributions. With an expected stat value of just 9.7, banking on him to stay under 12.5 seems a sound play as the Hornets look to navigate this challenging matchup.

DeMar DeRozan (Sacramento Kings) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-111)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Kings hit the road to face the Hornets, keep an eye on DeMar DeRozan for a solid points and rebounds total over 18.5. He's been in a groove lately, averaging 18.6 points in his last five outings, but what stands out is his ability to elevate his game against Charlotte, where he's dropped an impressive 24 points per game in away matchups against them. DeRozan's rebounding has also been serviceable, pulling down around 4.4 boards in those same contests. With a solid away hit rate of 12 out of 20, his consistency shines through. Plus, the Kings will rely on him to step up, especially in a matchup where scoring is pivotal. Given these stats, he's poised to not just meet but exceed the 18.5 mark, making this prop bet one you won't want to overlook.
