Minnesota Timberwolves vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks (Brandon Miller Key Factor): Winning Game Angles

As the Hornets gear up to face the Timberwolves, targeting Moussa Diabate for under 9.5 rebounds feels like a smart play. Over his last five games, he's averaging 8.8 boards, but when he's on the road, that number dips to a modest 8. The Timberwolves are no slouches in the paint either, making it tough for opponents to rack up rebounds against them.In fact, when matched up against Minnesota, Diabate has struggled, pulling down an average of just 6 boards overall and a mere 5 when away. His recent track record reinforces this; in his last six away games, he's gone under 9.5 rebounds four times. With an expected stat value of 8.07 and an implied probability of 58.1%, there's a solid case for taking the under here. As Diabate faces a challenging matchup, don't be surprised if he falls short of that rebound mark.

Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 11.5 Rebounds (-102)

As the Minnesota Timberwolves prepare to face the Charlotte Hornets at home, all eyes will be on Rudy Gobert's rebounding prowess. However, betting on him to snag over 11.5 boards might not be the best call. While Gobert has shown he can dominate the glass-averaging 14.4 rebounds at home over his last five games-his recent form tells a different story. In the last three matchups, he has only surpassed the mark once, pulling down an average of 11.4 overall and 12.4 against the Hornets specifically. It's worth noting that Gobert's expected stat value hovers around 10.68, suggesting that despite his talent, he may struggle to eclipse that 11.5 threshold. With a slight edge leaning towards the under and the Timberwolves potentially opting for a faster pace, this could be a perfect setup for Gobert to fall just short of that rebounding milestone.
