Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into their matchup against the Orlando Magic, all eyes are on Moussa Diabate, but betting on him to snag more than 13.5 rebounds might be a stretch. Although he's been a solid rebounder, averaging just under 9 per game in his last five outings, the trend flips when he hits the road. On the away circuit, his average dips to 8, and historically against the Magic, he's managed only 7 boards per game. It's worth noting that he's seen a remarkable hit rate lately-10 out of the last 11 times he's finished under this number. The implied probability of 87% suggests that oddsmakers are confident this trend will continue, especially considering Diabate's recent struggles against Orlando. With this context, targeting the Under 13.5 on rebounds feels like a savvy play for this matchup.

With a solid hit rate of 3 out of 4 games on the under recently, and an expected stat value of only 18.87, the data leans heavily in favor of this bet. The Hornets' defense has been manageable, and with Bane's current form, it's reasonable to expect him to stay below that 25.5 mark.
