As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Sacramento Kings at home, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding performance. Despite averaging 10.8 boards at home recently, there's a compelling case for taking the under on his line of 9.5 rebounds. In his last five matchups against the Kings, he's only collected an average of 5 rebounds at home. That's a notable drop-off and speaks to the Kings' ability to box out effectively. Additionally, Diabate has hit the under in 40% of his last ten games, highlighting some inconsistency, especially against teams like Sacramento. With an expected stat value of only 8.53, it's clear that while he may be a solid contributor, the odds lean toward him coming up short of that 9.5 mark tonight.
LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (+114)

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, but here's the angle: targeting the Under on his threes made at 3.5 could be a savvy play. While LaMelo has been a three-point dynamo on average, hitting 4.8 in his last five games, context is key. He's only netted 3.2 against the Kings in recent matchups-and his home performance against them is starkly zero. Despite his strong hit rate at home over the last 15 games (9 of 15), it's clear that the Kings' defense has a knack for limiting his deep shots. The expected stat value of 3.21 suggests he's more likely to dip below that 3.5 mark. With the pressure of the matchup and those home dynamics at play, taking the Under could prove to be a smart call.
