Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-714)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding numbers. With the over/under set at 13.5, it's tough not to lean towards the under. Diabate has averaged just 8 rebounds in his last five away games, and this trend is particularly concerning when you look at his history against the Magic. He's pulled down an average of only 7 boards in their recent matchups. What's even more telling? In his last 11 games, he's hit the under in 10 of those, showcasing a remarkable consistency in staying below this line. The implied probability of hitting the under sits at 87.7%, making this a compelling wager. Given that Diabate has been thriving more at home, betting against him in this away matchup seems like a smart play. Expect him to fall short of that 13.5 mark.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-161)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes will be on Desmond Bane. However, considering his recent form, backing him to stay under 28.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists seems wise. Over his last five games, Bane has averaged just 17.4 points, alongside 2.6 rebounds and 3 assists-totaling about 23.2, which is well below our target. When you zoom in on his home stats, he's only managed 20.2 points and 3 rebounds, plus 4 assists, bringing him to around 27.2. Against the Hornets, he's averaged 17.6 points in their last five matchups, and notably, his home numbers dip even further to 16.2 points. With a hit rate of 75% for unders recently, it's reasonable to expect Bane will struggle to eclipse that 28.5 total in this matchup.

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

As the Charlotte Hornets hit the road to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball's shooting performance, particularly from beyond the arc. While he's been a prolific shooter lately, averaging 5.2 threes over his last five games, a closer look at his matchup reveals a different story. Against the Magic, his average dips to just 3.2 threes made, and even more telling, he's only managed 3.8 in their recent encounters away from home. With a solid hit rate of 7 out of 11 games on the road, it's clear that LaMelo thrives in some situations but may struggle here. Given the odds favoring the under, and the expected stat value sitting at 3.31, this could be a prime opportunity to take the under on 4.5 threes made. Look for the Magic's defense to limit his opportunities and keep him below that threshold.
