Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Malik Monk hits the road to face the Charlotte Hornets, the numbers suggest a dip in his production. Averaging just 10.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 3 assists away from home, it's clear he struggles to find his rhythm outside of Sacramento. His recent average of 17.6 PPG has been buoyed by home games, but against the Hornets, he's only managed 11.6 points in their last matchups, with a slight uptick to 13.5 when away. Moreover, Monk's recent away games have shown a concerning trend, hitting the Under in all four of his last road outings. With an expected stat value of around 14.99, targeting the Under 22.5 seems like a savvy move. Given the matchup and his current form, it's hard to see him breaking through against a defense that knows how to contain him.

Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Under 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-112)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Paolo Banchero has been a rising star, but heading into the matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, there are compelling reasons to consider the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 39.5. Despite his impressive averages, recent trends suggest a dip in production when on the road. In his last five away games, he's managed 24.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists, tallying an average of just 37.4 in total. Cleveland's tough defense has also historically stifled his effectiveness, with Banchero averaging only 31.8 points, rebounds, and assists in previous away contests against them. Given his overall hit rate of 3 out of 4 for this line and the heat-check nature of this Cavaliers squad, it feels prudent to lean into the under here. If he struggles to find his rhythm, we'd be looking at a total well below the 39.5 mark.

Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Under 33.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

On March 25, Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the smart money is on the under for his combined points and rebounds total sitting at 33.5. While Banchero has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 24.6 points and 8.2 rebounds on the road, he's still not quite hitting the lofty mark set for this matchup.The Cavaliers are a tough defensive unit, and Banchero has only exceeded this total in one of his last three away games. Additionally, his last bouts with Cleveland have yielded an average of just 31.8 points and rebounds combined. Given his recent performance of 22.6 points and 7.2 rebounds over the last five games, it's clear the pressure of this matchup might keep him below that 33.5 mark. Expect a solid effort from Banchero, but not enough to clear this line.
