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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up for their showdown against the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but don't be surprised if he comes in under 10.5 rebounds. While he's had a solid recent run, averaging 8.6 boards over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story-he's pulling down just 8 rebounds per game. Going against the Magic, whose bigs can be particularly tough, Diabate has averaged only 7 rebounds in their past encounters, and this matchup could be no different. The pressure of playing away seems to have him in a groove of underwhelming rebounding numbers, hitting under this mark in three straight. With an expected stat value of 7.93, it's clear that the numbers are leaning heavily toward the under. So, take a closer look; this could be a profitable play.

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 should be on Moussa Diabate, particularly when considering his rebounds and assists total. Diabate has been solid lately, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games. However, when you dive deeper into his away performance, things look different. On the road, his averages dip slightly, and against this Magic squad, he's recorded just 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in their last matchups. With an expected stat value of only 9.06, targeting the Under 12.5 feels enticing. The Hornets' current dynamics suggest they won't rely heavily on him to contribute in a big way, especially with his recent away hit rate at 4 of 6. If you're keen on cashing in on this matchup, taking the Under on Diabate's combined rebounds and assists might just be the smart move here.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets roll into Orlando, we're eyeing a compelling opportunity to capitalize on his shooting performance, specifically targeting the under on 4.5 three-pointers made. While Ball has dazzled with an average of 5.2 threes in his last five games, that figure heavily skews due to favorable matchups. Against the Magic, he's only managed 3.2 threes on average, and even less-3.8-when playing in Orlando.The numbers show he's hit the under in 7 of his last 11 away games, a trend that suggests he often struggles to find his rhythm on the road. With an expected stat value of just 3.26 and an implied probability nudging 58.8% on this under bet, it's clear that a combination of matchup challenges and recent form points to LaMelo likely falling short of that 4.5 mark. Let's ride the under here!
