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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Malik Monk heads to Orlando with the Kings, we should keep an eye on his three-point production, particularly targeting the under on 2.5 makes. While Monk has a commendable average of 2.4 threes against the Magic, he's been less effective on the road, averaging just 0.8 in his last five away games. Even though he's hit the over in three of his last four, his away performance suggests a different story, especially considering he's only averaging 1.2 threes against Orlando when playing away. With Monk often finding himself sharing the floor with other prolific shooters in Sacramento, his role as a primary scorer could be diluted. The numbers suggest a trend toward underperformance in away games, making this bet feel like a wise move in a game where Monk might struggle to find his rhythm.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-139)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings prepare to face the Magic, Devin Carter's rebounding numbers tell a compelling story that leans towards the Under on 4.5 rebounds. On the road, Carter has averaged just 3.6 boards in his last five games, while against the Magic, he's struggled even more, pulling down only 2.7 rebounds on average in their previous encounters. Digging deeper, Carter has failed to grab a single rebound in his last matchup against the Magic when playing away. With an overall hit rate of 14 out of 20, it's clear he's been inconsistent, especially in hostile environments. The implied probability of 58.1% suggests that oddsmakers recognize this trend. Given the stakes and the Magic's defensive prowess, targeting the Under on Carter's rebounds seems not just wise, but almost inevitable. Expect him to fall short of that 4.5 mark once again.
