As the Hornets head into an away matchup against the Pacers, all eyes will be on Kam Jones and his assist numbers. Given his recent performance, targeting the Under 4.5 assists feels like a smart move. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 3.8 assists, and when playing away, that number creeps up slightly to 4.2. However, the historical context against the Pacers is telling; he's only managed 2 assists in their last few encounters.This isn't just a fluke-Jones has hit the Under in 15 of his last 19 away games, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. With an expected stat value of just 2.77 and his overall hit rate standing at 75% lately, the evidence suggests the Pacers' defense will keep him in check. So, for Friday's clash, betting on Kam Jones to stay Under 4.5 assists seems like a solid play.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hornets gear up to face the Pacers, targeting Kobe Brown for under 16.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart play. Brown has been struggling a bit lately, averaging just 11 points and 3.2 rebounds over his last five games. When you zoom in on his away performances, those numbers dip to 10.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, which isn't enough to clear this line.Moreover, against the Pacers, his output has been even lower, managing only 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in their recent encounters. If we focus on those away stats, they plummet further to just 1 point and half a rebound. With an impressive hit rate of 16 out of his last 20 games on the road falling under this threshold, it seems likely that Brown won't reach the 16.5 mark tonight. The data supports a cautious approach here.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for Friday's showdown between the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers, targeting Kobe Brown for under 10.5 points feels right on the money. While he's averaged 11 points over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story, clocking in at just 10.6 points. Against the Pacers, he's not exactly lighting it up, averaging a mere 2.4 points in their last five meetings-1 point on the road. With a solid hit rate of 16 out of the last 20 games away, it seems like pressure on the road has stifled his scoring. Plus, consider that his expected stat value sits around 5.84, hinting that this line might be a touch high. Given these insights, betting the under on Kobe Brown's points seems to be a savvy move worth backing.

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets take on the Indiana Pacers, all eyes should be on Kobe Brown's rebounding performance. This matchup has all the makings for him to struggle on the glass. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 3.2 boards, and if we zoom in on his away performances, that number dips even further to 4.6. Against the Pacers, he's averaged only 1.4 rebounds, and away from home, that plummets to a mere 0.5. With a recent hit rate of 14 out of 20 when on the road, it's clear that Brown finds it tough to make an impact in hostile territory. The numbers suggest he's unlikely to clear the 5.5 mark. Considering these trends and the pressure of an away game, betting the under on Brown's rebounds feels like a savvy play.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to host the New Orleans Pelicans, Devin Carter finds himself in a tricky spot for our prop bet targeting his combined points, rebounds, and assists. Priced at 21.5, this number feels inflated given Carter's recent form-he's hit the under in three of his last four outings. At home, he's been notably more subdued, hitting this mark just 15 times out of 19 games. The Pelicans' defense has tightened up recently, making it even harder for anyone to put up big numbers against them. With an expected stat value around 16.43, it's clear that the odds are not in Carter's favor. Plus, the implied probability of him hitting the over is just above 50%, suggesting that the under is a savvy play. All signs point to Carter falling short of that 21.5 threshold in what might be a tightly contested matchup.

Ousmane Dieng (Milwaukee Bucks) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+140)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Bucks prepare to face the Celtics, Ousmane Dieng's three-point shooting presents an intriguing betting opportunity. While Dieng has made a splash recently, averaging just 1.8 threes at home, we're looking to capitalize on the under for 1.5 threes made. His last five outings show a modest 1.0 average, and while he hit the mark in the last four games, consistency against a tough Celtics defense is key. Boston has tightened up their perimeter defense, limiting opponents to lower shooting percentages. Historically, Dieng has only managed 1.5 threes against them, and that drops to 1.0 when facing them at home. With an implied probability suggesting a 41.7% chance we see him below that mark, betting the under feels like a smart move. Let's ride the wave of numbers and context here-it's a savvy play amidst the matchup's dynamics.
