Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 2.5 Assists (-185)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Hornets, targeting Moussa Diabate for under 2.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Diabate has been struggling to find his rhythm, averaging just one assist over his last five games, and even more telling is that he hasn't recorded a single assist against the Hornets in their last few encounters. Playing away from home often amplifies challenges, and his average of 1.2 assists in road games doesn't inspire confidence here. With a remarkable hit rate of 14 out of 15 for this under, Diabate has consistently fallen short. Given the matchup dynamics and his recent performance, it's hard to see him breaking out for more than two assists against a Kings defense that's been tough on playmakers. So, betting the under on Diabate's assists seems like a smart option with plenty of data backing it up.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 11.5 Points + Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Charlotte Hornets roll into Sacramento, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but I'm betting he'll struggle to hit that 11.5 points and assists mark. Over his last five games, Diabate has averaged just 7.8 points and a mere 1 assist, which hardly inspires confidence. His recent away performances show an even steeper decline, posting just 4.4 points and 1.2 assists. Against the Kings, he's managed an average of 8 points, but that's still well below our target. Furthermore, in his last seven away games, he's only exceeded this line once, hitting the Under 6 out of 7 times. With Sacramento boasting solid defensive metrics, it's hard to envision Diabate breaking out in this one. Thus, taking the Under 11.5 feels like a smart play here.
