Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look at the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Charlotte Hornets, targeting Moussa Diabate for under 10.5 rebounds is a savvy play. While Diabate has shown impressive tenacity on the boards, averaging 8.6 rebounds over his last five games, his performance tends to dip in away games-where he's pulling down just 8 boards per game. Against the Hornets, he's averaged only 7 rebounds recently, and even in his away performances against them, he's managed just 10.3. The numbers suggest a clear trend, especially considering he's hit the under in five of his last six games. With the Magic's frontcourt depth and Diabate's recent form, it's likely he'll fall short of that 10.5 mark. As the game unfolds, expect Diabate to encounter a challenging rebounding landscape, making the under a compelling choice for this matchup.

When the Charlotte Hornets face off against the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball and his three-point shooting. While he's been a dynamic scorer, let's not overlook the numbers in this matchup. Over his last five games, Ball has averaged 5.2 threes, but against the Magic, he's managed just 3.2 makes on average. Plus, when considering his performance away from home, that number dips slightly to 3.8. With a hit rate of 7 out of his last 11 away games falling under 4.5 threes, it's clear that consistency has been elusive on the road. The Magic's defense is no slouch either, which could further hinder his shooting rhythm. Given these factors, betting on Ball to go under 4.5 threes feels like a smart play in this matchup. The data suggests that while he might shine at home, this away game could see a different narrative unfold.
