Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-137)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Moussa Diabate's recent performance suggests a compelling case for betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists, set at 12.5. Diabate has averaged just 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games, translating to a total of around 11.6. Away from home, he's seeing similar numbers - 8 boards and 3.2 assists - yet against the Magic, his production dips even further. His average against them in the last five matchups is just 7 rebounds and a mere 1.2 assists. With the stakes high and the Magic's defense tightening, it's likely Diabate struggles to find his rhythm. Given his recent hit rate of 75% on unders in his last four games and a solid 66.7% on the road, this prop has the makings of a smart play.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to host the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes will be on Desmond Bane. However, a closer look at his recent performances suggests that he may struggle to eclipse the combined total of 26.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Over his last five games, Bane has averaged just 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists, far below this threshold. Even at home, where he typically finds a bit more rhythm, his averages sit at a modest 20.2 points and 4 assists. Against the Hornets, he's managed only 16.2 points at home, and while he does pull down around 4.8 rebounds, it still doesn't add up to a winning formula for this prop bet. The numbers tell a story of a player who's been more subdued lately, making the under a compelling choice as the Magic look to exploit their home court advantage.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 23.5 Points + Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic host the Charlotte Hornets, betting on Desmond Bane to fall under 23.5 points plus assists presents a compelling opportunity. While Bane's home performance has shown promise, averaging 20.2 points and 4 assists in his last five games at home, the matchup against the Hornets might not be as favorable. Historically, he averages just 16.2 points against Charlotte when playing at home, and his overall recent stats-17.4 points and 3 assists in his last five games-suggest he's been more of a supporting player than a standout scorer. With Bane hitting the under in two of his last three games, and facing a Hornets defense that can stifle his contributions, it's reasonable to expect him to come in below that 23.5 threshold. Look for this to be a game where he's held in check, making the under a smart play.
