Minnesota Timberwolves vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks : Full Breakdown & Bets

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-139)

In the matchup between the Timberwolves and Hornets, targeting Moussa Diabate for under 9.5 rebounds presents an intriguing opportunity. While Diabate has been solid on the boards, averaging 8.8 rebounds over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, he's only managing about 8 rebounds, and historically, he's posted an average of just 5 against Minnesota. With the Timberwolves' emphasis on defensive rebounding, they rank among the league's best at limiting second-chance opportunities. Plus, Diabate's recent hit rate of 4 out of 6 for this under in away games underscores a trend in his performance. Given the numbers, it seems likely he'll stay below that 9.5 threshold in this matchup, making the under a compelling play worth considering.
