Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Moussa Diabate's performance against the Orlando Magic, the numbers suggest a compelling case for the under on his combined rebounds and assists, set at 12.5. While he's shown promise lately, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games, the away environment adds a layer of challenge. Specifically, his away averages dip slightly, with just 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Against the Magic, he's averaged just 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in their last five matchups, and his away stats drop further, indicating a pattern that favors the under. With a solid hit rate of 4 out of 6 on the road recently, it seems Diabate might struggle to reach that 12.5 mark tonight. Given these trends, it's a smart move to lean into the under here.

Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but betting the under on his combined points and rebounds at 26.5 feels like the smart play. His recent performance shows he's averaging just 18.2 points and 3.4 rebounds over the last five games, well below our target. When he hits the road, those numbers dip further to 15.4 points and 3.2 rebounds. Against Orlando, he's only managed 16.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in away matchups. The trend is clear: Miller has hit the under in six straight away games and has only eclipsed this mark once in his last five outings. With an expected stat value of just 21.93, there's plenty of room for him to fall short of that 26.5 total. It looks like a solid spot to back the under here.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 23.5 Points (-106)

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court in Orlando, the spotlight shines a little too brightly for his scoring prospects. While he's been lighting it up lately, averaging a commendable 29.4 points in his last five outings, a closer look reveals a different story on the road. His average dips to 24.2 points away from home, and against the Magic, he's only posted 19.4 points in his last five visits, a stark contrast to his overall performance. With the Magic's defense tightening up, Ball might find it challenging to breach 23.5 tonight. Historically, he's hit the under in 15 of his last 19 away games, showing that even stars can be vulnerable on the road. Given these factors and the expected stat value of just 20.02 points, it could be wise to lean toward the under on LaMelo's scoring tonight.
