As the Charlotte Hornets head into San Antonio, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but this matchup might not be his moment to shine. Averaging just 7.8 points and 1 assist over his last five outings, Diabate's struggles are even more pronounced on the road, where he's managed only 4.4 points and 1.2 assists. Against the Spurs, he's netted a mere 2.8 points on average, and when playing away, that dips to just 1 point. With a remarkable 13 out of his last 16 games hitting the under, and a 6-for-7 record in away games, the trend speaks volumes. Given these numbers and the Spurs' defensive prowess, the under on Diabate's combined points and assists at 10.5 feels like a strong play. Expect a quiet night for him as he navigates a tough San Antonio defense.

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Victor Wembanyama, particularly when it comes to his playmaking. With his recent form showing an impressive run-averaging 3.4 assists over his last five games-Wembanyama is carving out a role that transcends just scoring. At home, he's not just a scoring threat; he's been hitting over 2.5 assists consistently, with a solid track record of 7 out of his last 10 games. The Hornets, while struggling defensively, have allowed young players like Wembanyama to exploit mismatches, making this an enticing matchup. Given his ability to dish out assists, especially when the game is at the friendly confines of the AT&T Center, expecting him to clear this mark feels like a savvy play. With his expected stat value sitting at 3.57, this could be a night where Wembanyama shines as a facilitator

As the Spurs gear up to host the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Victor Wembanyama to deliver a double-double. The remarkable rookie has been on a tear, averaging 21.2 points and 12 rebounds over his last five games, with an even more impressive 26 points and 12.4 rebounds in his last home outings. Wembanyama's ability to dominate at the rim and stretch the floor should play perfectly against the Hornets, who have struggled to contain versatile bigs. What's even more compelling is his incredible consistency; he's hit the double-double mark in 12 of his last 13 games, and he's perfect at home in his last six. Given the Spurs' energy in front of a home crowd, we can expect Wembanyama to shine once again. This bet feels like a slam dunk-back him to grab that double-double against Charlotte!
