Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+109)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face off against the Sacramento Kings, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate's rebounding numbers. While his recent form shows an average of 10.8 boards at home, the matchup against Sacramento could spell trouble. In their last five meetings, he's only mustered an average of 5 rebounds at home against this squad. Moreover, with an expected stat value of 8.53 and a hit rate of just 60% in his last ten games, the signs are leaning toward the Under on his rebounds. The Kings are not known for their size, but they have a knack for limiting opponents' second-chance opportunities, which could further restrict Diabate's chances of racking up boards. Given these factors, it's a smart play to take the Under 9.5 rebounds for Diabate in this matchup.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball's shooting from beyond the arc. While he dazzles with his flair, recent trends suggest a quieter night for his three-point shooting. Over the past five games, LaMelo has averaged 4.8 threes, but when we dig deeper, the numbers tell a different story against the Kings. In their last five matchups, he's only managed to sink 3.2 threes, and astonishingly, he hasn't hit a single three at home against them recently. With the Hornets' recent home games showing him hitting the under 3.5 mark 9 out of 15 times, it feels like this game could tilt in favor of the under. Given the overall expected stat value of 3.21, and the implied probability of 46.7%, taking the under on Ball's three-pointers could be a savvy play this Tuesday night.
