As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Devin Carter's rebounding numbers suggest a compelling case for taking the under at 4.5. Carter's been battling an uphill climb on the boards lately, averaging just 3.6 rebounds away from home and a meager 2.7 against the Kings in their last five meetings. In fact, when hitting the road, he hasn't even managed to grab a single board against this opponent. His recent form showcases a broader trend; he's only managed to hit the over in 14 out of his last 20 games overall, and his away performance is even more telling, with an impressive 18 out of 20 hitting the under. Given this context, paired with an expected stat value of just 3.35, it feels like the smart play is to lean towards Carter falling short of that 4.5 mark.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-135)

As the Kings gear up to face the Magic on the road, Malik Monk's three-point shooting presents an intriguing betting opportunity. While he's shown flashes of brilliance at home, the numbers tell a different story for Monk away from Sacramento. Over the last five games on the road, he's averaging just 0.8 threes made, which starkly contrasts with his overall average of 2 per game. Against the Magic, his history isn't particularly reassuring either, with just 1.2 threes per game in their last five matchups. Given that his recent performances reflect a hit rate of only 60% for overs on the road, targeting the Under 2.5 threes seems like a savvy play. The Magic's defense will likely tighten up, making it even tougher for Monk to find his rhythm. Expect a night where he struggles to connect from deep, making the Under a compelling option.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+116)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Kings head into Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but not for the reasons you might think. Betting on Monk to grab under 2.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 2 rebounds, and when you zoom in on his away performances, that number dips to 1.8. Against the Magic, Monk's been even less effective, pulling down an average of just 1.2 boards per game. While he's hit the over in three of his last four, his overall away hit rate stands at a sharp 9 out of 13. The numbers suggest that Monk won't have the same opportunities in Orlando, making this under a tempting proposition. With the Kings likely spreading the floor and focusing on perimeter play, expect Monk to struggle to crack that 2.5 rebound threshold tonight.
