Yves Missi (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-357)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Kings and Pelicans, Yves Missi presents an intriguing opportunity for an under on his rebounding total. Currently, he's averaging just 4.4 rebounds over his last five games, and when we zoom in on his performance away from home, that figure slightly creeps up to 4.8. However, the real story lies in his history against the Pelicans; while he's pulled down an average of 6.2 rebounds against them overall, that number rises to only 7.5 in away games. With the Kings' recent lineup adjustments, Missi may find himself less involved on the boards. Plus, he hasn't surpassed that 9.5 mark recently, hitting the under in his last five outings. Given that he's hit the under 15 times in his last 15 away games, it's tough to see him breaking through that threshold tonight.

Derik Queen (New Orleans Pelicans) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-400)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings take on the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Derik Queen, but betting on him to grab more than 9.5 rebounds feels risky. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 6.6 boards, and even on the road, that number slightly ticks up to 6.8. Faced with the Pelicans, where he's snagged an average of 7 rebounds in their recent matchups, it's clear he's been consistent-but consistency doesn't guarantee hitting that 9.5 mark. In fact, Queen has only surpassed that threshold in one of his last 19 away games, boasting an impressive 18 out of 19 games hitting below that line. With the Kings' current lineup and match dynamics, it seems like a solid play to bet the under on Queen's rebounds in this matchup. Expect him to fall short again, keeping those expectations realistic as he navigates a tough Pelicans frontcourt.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-154)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Devin Carter has been a solid contributor for the Sacramento Kings, but as we head into this matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, there's a compelling case for taking the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 23.5. While he's had his moments, his recent performance shows he's hit this mark in only three of his last four games. At home, he's been even more subdued, landing under this total in 16 of his last 19 contests. The Pelicans defense poses a significant challenge, often forcing players like Carter into tougher positions, which can lead to lower overall stats. With an expected stat value of just 16.55, the numbers are trending toward a quieter night for him. Given these factors, betting the under feels like a smart move, especially with an implied probability hovering around 60.6%.
