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's rebounding game. While he has averaged a solid 9.4 rebounds over his last five outings, the home crowd may not be enough to push him over the 9.5 mark. In fact, when examining his performance specifically against the Kings, Diabate has averaged only 5 rebounds at home. With the Hornets facing a Kings team that can be surprisingly effective on the boards, it's crucial to consider that Diabate's numbers dip against this opponent. The last ten games show he's hit the under 40% of the time. Given the expected stat value of 8.53 and a hit rate of just 12 in the last 20 home games, the under on this prop feels like a savvy play. Don't be surprised if Diabate's rebounding total falls short once again.

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

When the Charlotte Hornets host the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, but betting on him to stay under 3.5 threes could be the smart move. Despite his explosive talent, LaMelo has averaged just 3.2 threes against the Kings in their last five matchups, and remarkably, he hasn't hit a single three at home against them recently. Even with an impressive 4.6 home average, these numbers suggest that the Kings' defense can effectively limit his perimeter shooting.Looking at his last 15 home games, he's only cleared this mark in 9 of them, which gives a clear indication of the variance in his performance. With an expected value of just 3.21, there's a compelling case for taking the under. Considering the game context and recent trends, it feels right to expect LaMelo to be held below that threshold tonight.
