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, keep a close eye on Moussa Diabate's rebounding numbers. With an impressive away hit rate of 11 for his last 11 games, the trends are clearly in our favor-especially when considering his recent averages. Diabate has been pulling down just 8 boards per game on the road, and against the Magic, he's recorded an average of only 7 rebounds in their last five encounters. Now, while the expectation is set at 13.5, the reality is that Diabate's overall performance suggests he may struggle to reach that mark. His expected stat value sits at around 7.88, well below the threshold, making the Under a compelling play. With the Hornets on the road and the Magic tightening their defensive grip, it's safe to bet that Diabate stays under this number.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-227)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic face the Charlotte Hornets this Friday, all eyes will be on Desmond Bane, but a closer look at his recent form suggests a different narrative. While he's been a solid contributor, averaging 20.2 points at home over the last five games, his overall performance has dipped, hitting just 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists recently. Against the Hornets, Bane tends to fall short of expectations, managing only 16.2 points per game at home versus them. With an overall hit rate of just 4 out of 5 for the combined points, rebounds, and assists, and a home hit rate of 3 out of 3, it's clear he may struggle to exceed 30.5 in this matchup. Given these trends, betting the under seems like a smart play as Bane faces a well-prepared Charlotte defense.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic prepare to face the Charlotte Hornets, Desmond Bane's prop bet for under 24.5 points and assists deserves a closer look. While he's showcased solid form at home, averaging 20.2 points and 4 assists in his last five games, the numbers suggest a potential dip against the Hornets. Historically, he's averaged just 16.2 points at home against this opponent, and his overall contribution in recent matchups tends to hover around 17.4 points and 3 assists. Bane's recent hit rate of 75% for unders in his last four games, along with a notable average of 18.89 expected combined stats, further reinforces the case against him exceeding that 24.5 mark. With the Magic's depth on defense, it's reasonable to anticipate a tougher outing for Bane, making this under bet a savvy play for those looking to capitalize on the matchup dynamics.
