Bilal Coulibaly (Washington Wizards) Over 3.5 Rebounds (-161)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Bilal Coulibaly, he's been quietly making a strong statement on the boards, especially for the Wizards. With an impressive hit rate of 11 out of his last 16 games overall, and a staggering 15 of 19 when playing on the road, he's consistently proving his rebounding prowess. In recent matchups against the Magic, he's pulled down around 4.6 boards per game, and while that's just shy of our target, it's worth noting that he's shown an uptick in production away from home, averaging 4.8 rebounds in his last five road games. With the Magic's tendency to struggle with rebounding defensively, Coulibaly should find ample opportunity to exceed the 3.5 mark. Given his expected stat value of 5.3 and the overall momentum he's carrying, betting on the over feels like a savvy play. Look for him to capitalize on the glass in this matchup!

Desmond Bane (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 27.5 Points + Assists (-122)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When looking at Desmond Bane's recent performance, it's hard to see him surpassing that hefty 27.5 mark for points plus assists against the Magic. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 18.2 points and 3.4 assists-far short of what we'd need for the over. Even when playing away, his numbers dip slightly, with averages of 20.2 points and 2.4 assists. Bane typically finds himself limited against the Wizards, with a recent average of 20 points and only 3 assists in their last matchup. The Magic's defense has been tough on guards, allowing only 16 points and 2 assists to opponents in their past few home games. Given his overall hit rate of hitting under this line in 9 of his last 12 outings, it's reasonable to expect another subdued performance from Bane on Thursday night.
