Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face off against the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, particularly when it comes to his rebounding output. While he's had a strong run lately, averaging 8.6 rebounds over his last five games, the away factor could play a crucial role here. On the road, Diabate's numbers dip slightly, landing at 8 per game. Against the Magic, he's averaged just 7 rebounds in their recent matchups, and while he hit a solid 10.3 in one away game, it's an outlier rather than a trend. With Orlando's size in the paint, we might see Diabate struggle to hit that 10.5 mark. With an expected stat value of just 7.93 and a hit rate of 5 out of his last 6 games suggesting a downward trend, betting the under feels like a savvy move in this matchup.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, his recent performance suggests that hitting the over on 12.5 combined rebounds and assists might be a stretch. Over his last five games, Diabate has averaged just 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists-numbers that total around 11.6, which is a fair bit shy of our target.Playing away from home, his averages dip slightly to 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists, and even against the Hornets, he's only managed 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists on average. With a robust hit rate of 75% on this under in his last four outings, it seems the odds are stacked against him. As Diabate steps onto the court, it's likely he'll struggle to eclipse that 12.5 threshold, making the under a sound play.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, his reputation as a sharpshooter comes with a caveat. Despite a dazzling average of 5.2 threes made over his last five games, the away matchup tells a different story. When you dig deeper, he's only managing to sink 3.8 threes per game on the road against this Magic squad, and he's hit the under in 7 of his last 11 away games. Moreover, facing Orlando, who often tightens up defensively against perimeter shooters, we can expect that number to dip further. His historical performance against them shows he averages just 3.2 threes per game. With an expected stat value of 3.26, the under on 4.5 threes feels like a smart play. LaMelo may dazzle at home, but tonight, the road could be a little bumpier than usual.
