Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-137)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Sacramento Kings hit the road to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk's playmaking ability. However, the numbers suggest a different narrative for this matchup. Monk's recent assists average is solid at 6, but when he's away from home, that number dips to just 4.6. Facing the Magic, he's averaged only 4.2 assists over his last five encounters, and even more concerning is his away average of just 3.5 against them. Given that Monk has hit the under 5.5 assists in a staggering 17 of his last 20 away games, it's clear that the road has been a challenging terrain for him. With the Kings likely relying on their scoring depth rather than playmaking, this game feels ripe for Monk to fall short of that 5.5 mark. Betting on the under here seems like a wise move.

In the upcoming matchup between the Orlando Magic and Sacramento Kings, Devin Carter's recent performance suggests he's primed for a quieter night. Averaging just 12.6 points and 2.4 assists over his last five games, his numbers dip even further on the road, where he's managing only 11.6 points and 3.2 assists. Against the Kings, Carter's track record is less than stellar - he's averaged a mere 6.7 points, and when playing away, he hasn't hit the scoreboard at all against them.With these trends in mind, it's telling that he only has a 13 out of 20 success rate for going over 17.5 points and assists combined. The Kings' defense also tightens up, making it increasingly tough for Carter to find his rhythm. Betting the under feels like a smart move, especially given the current odds and his recent struggles.

When the Kings face off against the Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but bettors might want to consider the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 24.5. Monk's recent performances tell a compelling story. Averaging just 15.4 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists over his last five games, he's been well below that threshold.

Historically, Monk struggles against the Magic, scoring only 14 points and dishing out around 3.5 assists in away matchups. Plus, he's hit the under in 17 of his last 20 games, including all five of his most recent road outings. Given the trends and his current form, it's hard to see him finding the magic to breach 24.5 in Orlando.
