Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Desmond Bane gears up for a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, the opportunity to target the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 26.5 feels like a savvy play. While Bane has shown flashes of brilliance at home, averaging 20.2 points and 4 assists in his last five games, his overall form suggests a dip. In fact, his recent averages of 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists paint a picture of a player struggling to break through the defensive schemes put forth by Charlotte. Furthermore, Bane's history against this opponent indicates he's only managed an average of 16.2 points when playing at home. With his expected stat value sitting around 21.39, it's clear he'll need a standout performance to hit that 26.5 mark. With the odds leaning toward the under, it's a calculated risk worth taking.

Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but bettors might find value in the under for his combined points, rebounds, and assists set at 28.5. Recently, Miller has been solid but not explosive, averaging just 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five outings. When away from home, those numbers dip even further, with averages of 15.4 points and 3.2 rebounds, making it hard to envision him exceeding that lofty total. Against the Magic, his recent history shows he's managed just 16.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in away matchups. With his overall hit rate standing at 4 of 5, it's evident he's not consistently breaking through that 28.5 mark lately. There's a compelling case here that Miller may struggle to reach that threshold, especially in a challenging away environment.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-112)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the clash between the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets, Moussa Diabate's recent performance suggests he might struggle to hit the 17.5 mark for points and rebounds combined. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 6 points and 8.6 rebounds-numbers that fall well short of that threshold. Notably, while he's been effective on the boards, his scoring has dipped during away games, where he's averaged a mere 5.6 points.Facing off against the Magic, a squad that tends to limit opposing forwards, Diabate's historical stats against them show he's only managed around 7 points and 7 rebounds in their past matchups. With an impressive hit rate of 5 out of the last 6 games going under this line, and a solid 3 for 3 trend away, it's clear that targeting the under on Diabate feels both prudent and promising.
