As the Nuggets gear up to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but his numbers might not tell the whole story. While he's a rebounding and assist machine, averaging 11.8 boards and 12 dimes recently, his away performances paint a different picture. Over the last five games on the road, he's averaged 15.2 rebounds and 10.6 assists, sure, but against the Suns specifically, those numbers dip to about 10 boards and 9.8 assists. With Jokic's combined output against Phoenix trending below our target of 24.5, and given that he's hit the under in three of his last four matchups, there's a compelling case for caution here. The Suns' defensive scheme often neutralizes playmakers like him, making this bet on the under a savvy move for those looking to capitalize on the numbers.

As the Sacramento Kings face off against the Charlotte Hornets, keep a close eye on Malik Monk for the under on points, rebounds, and assists at 22.5. While Monk has showcased flashes of brilliance, his recent form tells a different story, especially on the road. Averaging just 10.8 points away from home and only 1.4 rebounds, his contributions have dipped significantly when not playing at the Golden 1 Center. Against the Hornets, his numbers drop even further, with an average of just 11.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in their last five encounters. He's also been held to an average of only three assists in away games against Charlotte. With a solid hit rate of 13 out of his last 17 games for this combined stat line, it feels like a prudent move to go under as Monk navigates the challenges of this matchup.

As the Orlando Magic face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, we're looking at Paolo Banchero's points and rebounds total set at 33.5. While Banchero has been a force, averaging 25 points and 6.4 rebounds over his last five games, the numbers suggest he may struggle to hit that lofty mark tonight. His away stats dip slightly, with averages of 24.6 points and 8.2 rebounds, totaling about 32.8. Moreover, against the Cavaliers, he's averaged 27.8 points and 7.8 rebounds, which puts him right at that edge, but not enough to clear our line. With the Cavaliers' defensive prowess, particularly in the paint, it's reasonable to expect Banchero may not fully capitalize, especially given his recent performance trends. With a solid hit rate of 2 out of his last 3 games, targeting the under looks like a savvy play tonight.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 19.5 Points + Assists (-110)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Sacramento Kings head to Charlotte, all eyes will be on Malik Monk and his performance. However, betting on Monk to hit the over on 19.5 points and assists might not be the best move. Over his last five games, he's averaged a respectable 17.6 points and 4 assists, but when you look closer at his away performances, those numbers drop significantly to 10.8 points and 3 assists. Against the Hornets, Monk averages just 13.5 points in away games, and with the home crowd's energy, it's tough to see him breaking through that threshold tonight. He's hit the under in four of his last four away games, and while he's got the skills, factors like fatigue and a tough opponent defense could limit his contributions. The under prop on Monk feels like a solid play here; it resonates with both his recent form and the matchup dynamics.
Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Under 30.5 Points + Assists (-108)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
In Wednesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, targeting Paolo Banchero for under 30.5 points and assists makes a lot of sense. While he's been a bright spot for the Magic, averaging 25 points and 5.4 assists over his last five games, his production dips when he's on the road. Specifically, he's only averaging 24.6 points and 4.6 assists away from home. The Cavaliers present a solid defensive challenge, and Banchero's recent numbers against them are telling; he's averaged 27.8 points in five games, but only 31.8 points in those games played away. With a hit rate of just 2 out of his last 3 for this prop, the trend indicates he's likely to fall short of that 30.5 mark. Given these dynamics, this bet feels like a smart play that aligns with what we've seen recently.
Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-133)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes should be on Moussa Diabate, particularly when it comes to his combined rebounds and assists. With a line set at 12.5, it's intriguing to note that Diabate's recent production has been notably underwhelming, averaging just 9.7 in this category. At home, his averages dip further against the Kings, with only 5 rebounds and a mere 0 assists in their last matchup. Although he's hit the mark in 3 of his last 5 games, his numbers at home tell a different story-13 out of 20 games have seen him stay under this threshold. With the Kings' defense focused and poised to limit his impact, taking the under on Diabate seems like a savvy move. Expect him to struggle to reach that 12.5 mark tonight.
