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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Devin Carter takes the floor against the Sacramento Kings, his recent performance suggests a bet on the under for his rebound total at 4.5 might be a savvy move. Averaging just 3.8 rebounds overall in the last five games, his away performances dip even further to 3.6. What's telling, though, is his struggle against the Kings; he's managed a mere 2.7 rebounds per game against them in their last five encounters, and shockingly, he hasn't snagged a single board in his previous matchup in Sacramento.The trend becomes even clearer when we consider that he's hitting the under in 14 of his last 20 games, with a remarkable 18 out of 20 when playing on the road. With Carter's expected statistical value sitting at just 3.35, it paints a compelling picture for a low-rebound night. Trust the numbers; it's a solid play to bet on Carter staying under 4.5 rebounds.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings head into Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but a closer look at the numbers suggests he might struggle to find his rhythm from beyond the arc. While Monk has had a decent season, averaging 2.0 threes in his last five games, his performance drops to a meager 0.8 when playing away. Against the Magic, he averages just 1.2 threes in away matchups, hinting at the tough defensive schemes they employ.Though Monk has hit over 2.5 threes in three of his last four games, those successes don't translate well to this matchup. With Orlando's defense forcing opponents to adjust their shooting, we might see Monk come in below that 2.5 mark. Given these factors, taking the under on his threes made is a savvy play for this game.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+104)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings face off against the Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but betting on him to grab more than 2.5 rebounds seems risky. Here's why: in his last five games, Monk has averaged only two boards, and that drops to a mere 1.8 when he's away from home. Against the Magic specifically, his recent outings show he's managed just 1.2 rebounds per game. While his overall hit rate for rebounds has been solid lately, he's only surpassed the 2.5 mark in three of his last four games. The reality is, Monk's role tends to lean more toward scoring rather than rebounding, particularly in road games where he's hit that mark just 9 out of 13 times. With the Magic's defense putting pressure on him, betting the under on his rebounds feels like a savvy move that plays into the numbers.
