Kings vs. Hornets Player Prop Pick
Moussa Diabate Over 2.5 Assists (+130)
Action PRO is projecting 2.8 assists for Moussa Diabate in the Hornets' matchup against the Kings tonight, showing a solid 9.1% edge against his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our database.
Diabate's scoring numbers have been all over the place lately. He has scored nine points or less in four of his last seven games, while falling short of six points in three of those outings. However, he also scored 10+ points in the other three games.
Believe it or not, though, Diabate's assist numbers have actually been pretty reliable. He has tallied 3+ assists in four of his last six games, while reaching 4+ assists in two of those contests.
This should be a good spot to back that trend to continue in a matchup against a Kings squad that ranks 28th in both defensive rating and points allowed per game on the season.
Pick: Moussa Diabate Over 2.5 Assists (+130)
Magic vs. Cavaliers Prop Prediction
Jevon Carter Under 9.5 Points (-108)
Jevon Carter joined the Magic's starting lineup on Monday against Indiana, and he played 24 minutes — which was his largest workload since the beginning of March, but his opportunities cratered.
Carter posted a tiny 8.3% usage rate in yesterday's game, which ranked dead last on the team. He only took five shots.
Carter has seen his usage decline by 2.7% when he shares the floor with Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane.
Cleveland is an easier 3-point shooting matchup than Indiana, but the Cavs are also a better overall defense.
Pick: Jevon Carter Under 9.5 Points (-108)
Nuggets vs. Suns Player Prop Bet
Oso Ighodaro Over 2.5 Assists (-150)
Action PRO is projecting 3.9 assists for Oso Ighodaro in the Suns' matchup against the Nuggets tonight, presenting a nice 8.5% edge against his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B- grade in our system.
Ighodaro joined the Suns' starting lineup recently, and as a result, he enters today's game having played 32+ minutes in four of his last five outings — and he will likely start again tonight with Mark Williams expected to miss this one.
Ighodaro has recorded 3+ assists in four of his last five games, while reaching 4+ assists in three of those contests; and getting all the way up to 7+ assists in two of them.
We expect the volume and usage to push him back Over this line again tonight.
Pick: Oso Ighodaro Over 2.5 Assists (-150)
