Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Indiana Pacers, all eyes will be on Kobe Brown, but betting on him to hit the over on 16.5 combined points and rebounds feels like a stretch. Brown has been consistent lately, averaging 11 points and 3.2 rebounds over his last five games. However, when he hits the road, those numbers dip significantly to 10.6 points and just 4.6 rebounds. Against the Pacers, the stats aren't kind, showing he typically contributes a mere 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds. Even worse, in his recent away games against them, he mustered only 1 point and half a rebound. With a staggering 13 out of his last 16 outings hitting the under, it's hard to envision him breaking through this time. Given his recent performance and the matchup, the under on Brown's combined total seems like the smart play here.

Kam Jones (Indiana Pacers) Under 4.5 Assists (+117)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hornets gear up to face the Pacers, all eyes should be on Kam Jones for a potential under on his assists at 4.5. Despite his energetic play, he's averaging just 3.8 assists over his last five games, and when we zoom in on his away performances, that number ticks up to 4.2. However, against the Pacers specifically, he's been held to only 2 assists in their last outings, and history suggests that trend isn't likely to change. With a hit rate of just 3 out of his last 4 games at this number, and a remarkable 15 out of 19 when away, the signs point to a tough night for Jones. The Pacers' defense is known for stifling playmakers, and with this context, it's hard to see him surpassing the 4.5 assists mark. Locking in the under feels like a solid play here.

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 10.5 Points (-101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Indiana Pacers, I see an intriguing spot for Kobe Brown, particularly with a player prop bet on him to score under 10.5 points. While he's averaged around 11 points over his last five games, his performance against the Pacers tells a different story-he's managed just 2.4 points per game against them recently, and even fewer, just 1 point, when playing away. This matchup might not favor Brown, especially considering he's found it tough to get going on the road, hitting the under in a whopping 16 of his last 20 away games. With the stakes high in an away environment, it's likely we see him struggle to find his rhythm against a Pacers defense that knows how to clamp down on shooters. Expect this trend to continue, making the under a compelling bet for this matchup.
