Washington Wizards vs Orlando Magic Prediction & Picks

Desmond Bane (Memphis Grizzlies) Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists (-141)

When the Orlando Magic face off against the Washington Wizards, all eyes should be on Desmond Bane, particularly for his combined rebounds and assists prop set at over 8.5. Bane has been a revelation lately, consistently finding ways to contribute across the board. Over his last five games, he's averaging 6.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists, which puts him tantalizingly close to that threshold.Against the Wizards, he's maintained an average of 6 rebounds and 3 assists in recent matchups, suggesting he knows how to exploit their defensive lapses. Not to mention, he's hit this mark in three straight games and boasts an impressive 13 out of 17 success rate when playing at home. With the Wizards allowing a bit more in both categories, Bane appears poised to clear that 8.5 barrier. This matchup is ripe for a standout performance from him.

Desmond Bane (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 37.5 Points + Rebounds (-1250)

As we gear up for the clash between the Orlando Magic and the Washington Wizards, Desmond Bane's player prop stands out, especially for the Under 37.5 points and rebounds. Bane has been solid lately, averaging 18.2 points and 6.6 rebounds over his last five games. However, when you dig a bit deeper, it becomes clear that he often plays a supporting role, particularly against teams like the Wizards. His recent performance against them shows an average of just 20 points and 6 rebounds, which doesn't quite add up to the hefty total set. Moreover, the Wizards have been stingy defensively at home, allowing only 16 points and 7 rebounds to their opponents in recent matchups. With an overall hit rate of 12 out of 12 for the Under in his last games, Bane seems likely to fall short of that 37.5 mark. It's a calculated play to bet on the Under here.
