Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Rebounds (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Devin Carter's rebounding numbers suggest a compelling case for taking the under on 4.5 boards. In his last five games, he's averaged just 3.8 rebounds, and his away performance dips even further to 3.6. When you consider his history against the Kings, it's striking: he's averaged only 2.7 boards, and shockingly, he hasn't recorded a single rebound in their last matchup away from home. With a hit rate of just 14 out of 20 overall and an impressive 18 out of 20 for away games hitting the under, the numbers paint a clear picture. Carter's role seems to lean more towards scoring than crashing the boards, especially in an away environment where he often struggles. This matchup feels primed for him to fall short of 4.5 rebounds, making the under a strong play.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-135)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings take on the Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but betting on him to hit more than 2.5 threes might not be wise. Over his last five games, Monk has averaged just two threes per outing and, even more concerning for this matchup, he's only hitting 0.8 threes per game on the road. The Magic defense has been stingy against perimeter shooters, and historical trends show Monk typically lands around 1.2 threes away against them. While he has hit the over in three of his last four contests, let's not overlook the context. Monk's production often hinges on volume, but with the Kings set to face a Magic team that excels defensively at home, it's a tough environment for him to thrive. With a strong trend toward the under, locking in Monk for under 2.5 threes feels like a savvy move.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+116)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings gear up for their matchup against the Magic, eyes should be on Malik Monk's rebounding numbers, specifically the under on 2.5. Historically, Monk has averaged only 1.8 rebounds in away games, and against the Magic, he's recorded a mere 1.2 in their last five encounters. While he's had a decent hit rate of 9 out of the last 13 games on the road, his recent form indicates a dip, securing just 2 boards in his last five outings overall. This trend aligns with his expected stat value of 1.76-well below the line we're targeting. The Magic's defense can be stifling in the paint, making it even tougher for Monk to capitalize on landing boards. With all these factors considered, backing the under on Monk's rebounds feels like a wise choice in this matchup.
