Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings prepare to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes are on Malik Monk, particularly regarding his three-point shooting. While Monk has been solid recently, averaging 2.4 threes against the Magic in their last five encounters, his away performances tell a different story. On the road, he's managed just 0.8 threes in his last five games, highlighting a marked drop-off in production when not playing in Sacramento.With Monk's recent trend of hitting the under in away games-he's gone under 2.5 threes in four of his last five-it's hard to ignore the likelihood of him falling short again. Plus, the Magic's defensive schemes can disrupt his rhythm. Given these factors, it makes sense to lean towards the under on Monk's three-point total. The numbers are stacked against him, and this matchup might be no exception.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In Thursday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings, Devin Carter is poised for a challenging night on the boards. Playing away, he's averaged just 3.6 rebounds in his last five road games, far below the 4.5 mark we're targeting. Even more telling, when facing the Kings, his recent performance against them at away games shows a stark average of zero rebounds. Carter's overall hit rate has been solid, but his recent numbers indicate he's been on a downward trend, averaging only 2.7 rebounds against this opponent. Given that he's recorded fewer than 4.5 rebounds in 18 of his last 20 away games, it's clear the odds are stacked against him. With an expected stat value of just 3.16, it feels like a smart play to take the under here as the Kings look to control the glass.
