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's rebounding numbers. Despite his impressive recent form, averaging 8.6 boards over his last five games, he's been held to just 8 rebounds in away matchups. Against Orlando, he's struggled even more, pulling down an average of only 7 boards in their past encounters. With the Magic's frontcourt proving to be a tough challenge, it's hard to envision Diabate exceeding the 13.5 mark tonight. He's hit the under in 10 of his last 11 games, showcasing his ability to thrive under pressure while still managing to keep those numbers low. The implied probability of 87% suggests this is a solid bet, especially considering he hasn't surpassed 10.3 rebounds away recently. Betting on Diabate to stay under 13.5 rebounds feels like a smart play in this matchup.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we dive into the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Charlotte Hornets, targeting Desmond Bane for under 30.5 points, rebounds, and assists makes a lot of sense. Bane has been solid lately, averaging 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists over his last five games. However, when we look closer at his performance against the Hornets, he typically averages just 17.6 points, and his home stats dip even lower to 16.2 points.Moreover, Bane's contributions tend to dwindle in Orlando, with home averages showing 3 boards and 4 assists, which simply don't stack up to the lofty 30.5 threshold. With a robust hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last outings and a perfect 3 for 3 at home, it's clear that while Bane can shine, he likely won't eclipse that combined number against a Hornets team that plays tough defense

As the Orlando Magic prepare to face off against the Charlotte Hornets, targeting Desmond Bane for the Under on points plus assists at 25.5 feels like a savvy move. While Bane has shown flashes of brilliance at home, averaging just under 20.2 points and 4 assists in his last five home games, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit that lofty combined total. In fact, against the Hornets, he's managed only an average of 16.2 points and 3.6 assists at home. With his recent form reflecting just 17.4 points and 3 assists over his last five games, there's a solid case for expecting him to stay well below this mark. Coupled with a hit rate of 75% for the Under in his last four, it's clear that Bane may find this matchup to be a bit tougher than anticipated, making the Under a compelling option here.
