Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but there's a compelling case to bet the under on his three-pointers made at 2.5. While Monk has shown flashes of brilliance, recent away games tell a different story-he's averaging just 0.8 three-pointers on the road in his last five outings. Even against the Magic, who he typically performs well against, Monk has only managed 1.2 threes in away games recently.Moreover, the Magic's defense has tightened up, making it difficult for shooters like Monk to find open looks. With an overall hit rate of 3 for his last 4 games, it's easy to get lured into the potential, but considering his current trend and the pressure of an away game, betting the under seems like a savvy move. With the odds favoring this outcome, it's a smart choice for those looking to capitalize on Monk's current form.

Maxime Raynaud (Sacramento Kings) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Maxime Raynaud steps onto the court in Sacramento, the spotlight shifts to his rebounding prowess-or lack thereof. With an expected stat value of just 8.1 boards, the under on 9.5 rebounds feels like a savvy move. Raynaud has been solid, hitting the under in three of his last four outings and showing even better form away, where he's hit the under in four of his last five games. Facing off against the Orlando Magic, who prioritize perimeter defense and often limit second-chance opportunities, Raynaud could find himself boxed out more than usual. Plus, with a team built around offensive weapons, the Kings may not rely on him for rebounding as heavily. All signs point to a night where Raynaud's rebound count stays shy of that 9.5 threshold, making this a compelling play for under bettors.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+107)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings head into Orlando, targeting Malik Monk for under 2.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. On the road, Monk's rebounding numbers dip noticeably; over his last five away games, he's averaging just 1.8 boards. The Magic, known for their size and length, pose a tough challenge. Historically, Monk has struggled against them, pulling down just 1.2 rebounds per game in their recent matchups. In fact, when playing in Orlando, his numbers don't improve much, averaging only 2 rebounds per game against the Magic. With Monk's recent form showing he's hit the under in 9 of his last 13 away games, it's clear he's not a rebounding specialist on the road. Given these trends, betting the under on Monk's rebounds seems like a smart move to make ahead of tip-off.
