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 take on the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate. While he's shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest it's wise to target the Under on his combined rebounds and assists set at 12.5. Over his last five outings, Diabate has averaged just 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists, totaling around 11.6-well below the mark. On the road, this dip is even more pronounced, with averages of 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Notably, against the Magic, he has struggled with just 1.2 assists per game in recent matchups. With a hit rate of only 3 out of the last 4 games and just 4 of 6 away, it seems the odds are stacked against him hitting that 12.5 threshold tonight. Keep an eye on the numbers and consider playing it safe with the Under.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-145)

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball's shooting, particularly from beyond the arc. While he's been a prolific scorer lately, averaging 5.2 threes in his last five games, his performance takes a dip when he hits the road. Specifically, he's only managed 5 threes per game away from home. Against the Magic, historical data shows he averages just 3.2 threes, and when playing in Orlando, that number drops slightly to 3.8. With the pressure of an away game and a Magic defense that's tough on perimeter shooters, it's reasonable to expect Ball to fall short of the 4.5 mark tonight. Given that he's hit this under in 7 of his last 11 away games, the trends create a strong case for betting the under on his threes made.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 20.5 Points (-109)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Desmond Bane steps onto the court for the Orlando Magic against the Charlotte Hornets, the numbers suggest he might have a tough time exceeding the 20.5-point mark. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 17.4 points overall, and at home, his average dips to 20.2-still shy of our target. Particularly against the Hornets, he's found scoring tougher, averaging just 16.2 points in their recent matchups. With a solid hit rate of 3 out of 4 for the under in his last outings, and considering his expected stat value of 16.78, it's clear Bane might not find his usual rhythm tonight. With the Magic's home court energy behind him, he may still contribute, but the under on 20.5 feels like the safer play. Let's ride the numbers and trust this trend continues!
