Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but betting on him to go under 9.5 rebounds feels like the savvy move. While he's been averaging 10.8 boards at home, the last five games against the Kings tell a different story-he's managed just 5 rebounds per game in Charlotte. This matchup could be tricky, as the Kings are no slouches on the glass either, tightening up their defensive rebounding lately.Moreover, Diabate's overall hit rate has been inconsistent, landing under that mark 4 times in the last 10 games. With an expected stat value of around 8.53, it seems like the numbers are aligning for a lower output against a team that's been limiting individual rebounding efforts. The home court advantage might be there, but this is one game where less might just be more for Diabate's rebounding stats.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (+114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets welcome the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, especially regarding his three-point shooting. While he's been somewhat of a sharpshooter lately, averaging nearly five threes over his last five games, a closer look at the matchup paints a different picture. Against the Kings, he's only managed to sink 3.2 threes on average across their previous encounters, and intriguingly, he hasn't hit a single three at home against them lately. Despite his recent success, the pressure of home expectations could factor in, and with an average of just 4.6 threes made at home in the last five games, it's clear he might fall short of that 3.5 mark. Given the trends and the Kings' defensive schemes, betting the under on LaMelo's threes feels like a savvy play here.
