Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but don't be surprised if he falls short on the boards. Despite his recent surge, averaging 8.6 rebounds over his last five games, he's hitting just 8 on the road and has only managed 7 against this Magic team historically. Dig a little deeper, and you'll see he's hit the Under on 10.5 rebounds in five of his last six outings, clearly showing that consistency is key-and away from home, it's even tougher. The Magic's frontcourt is no walk in the park either, and with Diabate's away hit rate at a perfect 3/3 recently, it's a prime spot for a regression. Expect him to settle around the 8-rebound mark again, making the Under a compelling play here.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Charlotte Hornets roll into Orlando, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but tonight's spotlight might not shine as brightly on his stats. Averaging a solid 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games, Diabate's recent performance hints at a struggle to hit that 12.5 mark. On the road, he's producing slightly less-averaging 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Against the Hornets specifically, his numbers drop even further, with just 7 rebounds and a mere 1.2 assists over recent matchups. Even when he takes the court away from home, his stats dip to 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists against them. With a hit rate of just 75% recently and those lower averages in mind, betting the under on Diabate seems like a smart call. The data tells a story of potential underperformance, making this an intriguing opportunity for savvy bettors.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Desmond Bane's performance. While he's been a solid contributor, hitting the under on 26.5 points, rebounds, and assists seems like a savvy play. In his last five games, Bane has averaged just 17.4 points, alongside modest rebounding and assist numbers. At home, he's seen a slight uptick, but still only manages around 20.2 points. Against Charlotte, his historical averages dip even further; he's netting just 16.2 points at home versus this squad. With a hit rate of 2 out of the last 3 games for this bet, the trend is certainly leaning toward the under. Given those numbers, it feels like a strategic move to expect Bane to fall short of that 26.5 mark in this one.
