Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Bobcats (TNT)

Many sportsbooks do not offer proposition bets, but I felt these two had value and therefore I wanted to release them. I found the props available at Ultimate-Odds.com

(prop bet) CARLOS ARROYO +2½-140 points/assists (vs. Brevin Knight)

Orlando is decimated by injuries and will probably be without Jameer Nelson, Grant Hill, and Hidayet Turkoglu tonight. Those are the top three players on the team in assists and also three of the top five scorers and overall they combine for 37.2 points and 9.3 assists per game.

This mass injury situation will lead to extended playing time for Carlos Arroyo tonight. Arroyo averages 13.7 points/assists per game, but normally plays only 20 minutes. Extended minutes tonight will translate to higher numbers and a projected 20.6 points/assists night at 30 minutes played which is higher than Brevin Knight’s 19.6 points/assist per game average.

(prop bet) DWIGHT HOWARD -4½-130 points/rebounds (vs. Emeka Okafor)

Orlando will likely be without three of their top five scorers which means Howard will be called upon to pick up more of the scoring load. He already averages 30.1 points/rebounds per game which is ahead of Okafor who has only gone Over 25 points/rebounds once in his past nine games.

Howard dominated Charlotte earlier this season with 45 points/rebounds on November 18th.
