Ryan Kalkbrenner (Charlotte Hornets) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (+185)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When you look at Ryan Kalkbrenner's recent form, it's hard to ignore the potential for him to soar past the 9.5 mark in points and rebounds against the Orlando Magic. Despite averaging only 5 points and 4.4 rebounds in his last five games, there's a silver lining when he faces off against the Magic-historically, he's put up about 13.3 points and 7 rebounds against them. Playing away doesn't seem to rattle him either; his last 19 games on the road have seen him hit this line 11 times. Plus, his ability to elevate his game in key matchups is noteworthy, with an average of 10 points and a robust 9 rebounds against Orlando in previous encounters. As the team looks to secure a crucial win, Kalkbrenner's role could expand, making the Over on his points plus rebounds a compelling bet this Friday.
