Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Points + Assists (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Moussa Diabate has been struggling to find his rhythm, especially in away games, and the numbers tell a compelling story. Averaging just 4.4 points and 1.2 assists on the road lately, he's far from the player capable of exceeding that 10.5 line. In fact, against the Spurs, he's managed a mere 1 point per game in their last matchup, underscoring the tough matchup he faces. With his overall production dipping to just 7.8 points and 1 assist in his last five games, expectations should be tempered. The Spurs' solid defense can stifle Diabate's opportunities, and it's hard to see him breaking through with the recent trend of 13 out of 16 games hitting the under. Given the context and his history against this opponent, betting on the under for Diabate feels like a smart move.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Yes Double-Double (-189)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When you look at Victor Wembanyama's recent performances, it's hard to ignore the writing on the wall. Playing at home against the Charlotte Hornets, he's been a double-double machine, achieving this feat in 12 of his last 13 games overall, and he's a perfect 6-for-6 at home. In his last five games, he's averaged a solid 21.2 points and 12 rebounds-numbers that align perfectly with his history against Charlotte, where he's scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds per game. Plus, the Spurs are set for a lively matchup that should allow Wembanyama to flex his skills. With the Hornets struggling to contain versatile big men, expect him to dominate the glass while contributing on the scoring front. Locking in on a double-double feels like a savvy play for this rising star, especially with those impressive home stats backing it up.
