Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, keep an eye on Moussa Diabate, particularly for the under on his combined rebounds and assists, set at 12.5. While Diabate has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists in his last five outings, the numbers reveal a trend that favors caution. On the road, he's been slightly less impactful, pulling down just 8 boards and dishing out around 3.2 assists. Against the Magic, his history isn't rosy either; he's averaging only 7 rebounds and a paltry 1.2 assists in their last matchups. With a solid hit rate of 75% on the under in his last four games, plus the Magic's stingy defense, it feels like a perfect storm for Diabate to fall short of that 12.5 mark. Expect him to hover close, but not quite break through.

Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but the smart money might be on him falling short of that 26.5 points plus rebounds total. Recent performances reveal a telling trend-Miller has averaged just 15.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in his last five away games, nowhere near the bar set for this matchup. Notably, against the Magic, he's averaged merely 16.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in away games, painting a picture of a player who struggles to elevate his game on the road. With a solid hit rate of 6/6 for the under in away contests, it's clear this bet has merit. With the Magic's defense tightening up, it's a compelling case to expect Miller to be held under that lofty total. Trust the numbers; it's a smart under play.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 23.5 Points (-103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball, but the numbers suggest a cautious approach. While he's been electrifying, averaging a robust 29.4 points in his last five games, his away performances tell a different story-dropping to 24.2 points and even lower to 19.4 against the Magic. The match-up isn't ideal; Orlando's defense has tightened up, and Ball's last five outings against them have him at just 23.8 points, with an even more sobering 19.4 when away. With an expected stat value of 20.02, we're looking at a solid chance he falls short of the 23.5 mark. Plus, given his recent trend, hitting the under has been a consistent theme, with an impressive 15 out of his last 19 away games falling below that threshold. It seems prudent to consider the under for Ball tonight.
