Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-139)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the game between the Charlotte Hornets and the Orlando Magic, Moussa Diabate presents an intriguing opportunity for an under bet on his combined rebounds and assists. Currently averaging just under nine total contributions in his last five games, Diabate's performance has dipped slightly when playing away, with only 8.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists-a clear indication that he may struggle to hit that 12.5 mark. Against the Hornets, he's averaged just 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in recent matchups, which aligns with his tendency to fall short against this opponent. With a solid 75% hit rate on this line in his last four outings and a recent trend of hitting the under in crucial away games, it's tough to see him breaking through the threshold. Expect a conservative night for Diabate as he navigates this matchup.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Magic and the Hornets, targeting Desmond Bane for Under 26.5 points, rebounds, and assists feels spot on. Bane's recent form shows he's averaging just 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists across his last five games, which doesn't quite stack up to the mark. At home, his numbers dip slightly to 20.2 points and 3 rebounds, while his assist average climbs to 4-but even those numbers don't add up to the 26.5 threshold we're considering. Against the Hornets, he's only managed 17.6 points and 4 assists in his last five matchups, and his overall hit rate tells us he's been under this line in two of his last three games. With the Magic's focus on defense and a potential slow-paced game, Bane's production might just fall short tonight. This one feels like a solid

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball heads into this matchup against the Orlando Magic, we're eyeing the under on his three-pointers made. Sure, he's been hot lately, averaging 5.2 threes over his last five games, but context is key. When he's on the road, that number dips to 5, and against the Magic, he's only managing around 3.8 threes per game over their recent meetings.With Ball facing a Magic defense that's been particularly effective at limiting perimeter shots, it's no surprise he's only hit the over in this matchup about 27% of the time recently. Given the expected stat value of 3.29 threes and his away hit rate of 7 out of 11 games falling under 4.5, it seems like a smart bet to take the under. As the Hornets visit Orlando, we anticipate Ball's shooting may cool off just enough for this prop to hit.
