Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, Desmond Bane's prop line for points, rebounds, and assists at 26.5 seems set for a dip. While he has flashed potential at home, averaging 20.2 points and 4 assists in his last five outings, the matchup against the Hornets brings a different narrative. Bane has averaged just 16.2 points against them in Orlando and his overall contributions are trending down, with his last few games yielding just 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3 assists. With a predicted stat line closer to 20.82, it's clear he's not positioned to cross that 26.5 mark. Plus, the Hornets have tightened their defense recently, making it even tougher for Bane to find his rhythm. Betting the under on Bane feels like a smart move in this matchup.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but taking the under on his combined points and rebounds at 17.5 might be the savvy play. Over his last five games, Diabate has averaged just 6 points and 8.6 rebounds, and when you narrow the focus to his away performance, those numbers dip to 5.6 points and 8 rebounds. Against this Magic squad, he's only managed 7 points and 7 rebounds in their last encounters, and his trend away from home shows a concerning pattern, with his recent output against Orlando only slightly better. With a hit rate of 5 out of the last 6 games on the under, and particularly strong away stats backing this pick, it's hard to see Diabate surpassing that 17.5 mark without a significant uptick in production. Keep an eye on this one; the under feels like a solid bet.

Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-104)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets take on the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but we're leaning toward the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 28.5. Despite his evident talent, Miller's recent performances tell a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, falling short of the mark. On the road, his numbers dip even further, with averages of 15.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. The Magic present a tough defensive challenge, and Miller's historical performance against them underscores this, as he's managed only 16.8 points on the road against Orlando. With a hit rate of just 60% lately and a subpar average against this opponent, the under looks like a solid play to consider.
