Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Points + Assists (-135)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As we gear up for the showdown between the San Antonio Spurs and the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate. While he's shown flashes of talent, recent performances paint a different picture. Averaging just 4.4 points and 1.2 assists on the road, he's struggled to find his rhythm away from home. In fact, against the Spurs, Diabate has managed only 2.8 points per game in their last five meetings, and a mere 1 point when playing in San Antonio. His recent form is telling, too-averaging just 7.8 points and 1 assist over the last five games. With the Spurs' defense tightening up, it's hard to see Diabate exceeding the 10.5 mark. Given his overall hit rate of 13 out of 16 for the under, this is a smart move as we anticipate a quiet night from him.
Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls) Under 21.5 Rebounds + Assists (-909)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Chicago Bulls gear up to face the Los Angeles Clippers, all eyes will be on Josh Giddey's performance. While he's been a key player for the Bulls, the numbers suggest this matchup might not be kind to him. Giddey's averaging around 9.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists over his last five games, but when you look at his history against the Clippers, those numbers drop significantly, with averages of just 5.8 assists and 5.8 rebounds on the road. The Clippers have a knack for stifling opponents, and with Giddey averaging just 14.53 combined rebounds and assists lately, the 21.5 mark feels a bit ambitious. Having hit the under in four straight, it seems Giddey might struggle to eclipse this total in an arena where the defense tightens. Betting on Giddey to stay under 21.5 in this one could be a smart play.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Over 2.5 Assists (-182)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Victor Wembanyama to dish out some assists. With the Spurs at home, Wembanyama has been finding his rhythm-averaging 3.4 assists in his last five games, and he's hit over 2.5 in each of his last four outings. The rookie phenom is proving to be more than just a scoring machine; he's stepping up as a facilitator, especially against teams like the Hornets, whom he's averaged 2 assists against recently. At home, he's hit the over in 7 of his last 10 games, showcasing his ability to engage the crowd and elevate his play. With an expected stat value of 3.57 and a model edge suggesting a strong probability of hitting this mark, betting on Wembanyama for over 2.5 assists feels like a smart play in this matchup.
LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Over 3.5 Assists (-1111)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Charlotte Hornets take on the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes should be on LaMelo Ball. The young star is on fire, dishing out an average of 9.4 assists over his last five games, with an impressive 9.6 assists when playing away. Notably, he's been a distributor extraordinaire against the Spurs, averaging a staggering 10 assists in their last encounters. With a perfect hit rate of 8-for-8 in his last outings, including a flawless 5-for-5 on the road, it's hard to ignore the momentum he's carrying. The Spurs' defense has struggled to contain playmakers, and Ball's ability to find teammates in scoring positions makes this prop bet juicy. Expect him to easily eclipse the 3.5 assists mark, as he's not only capable but in a prime position to thrive. Bet on LaMelo to facilitate and lead the Hornets to victory!
