Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Hornets: Kon Knueppel over 19.5 points + rebounds + assists -- Sleeper, 8 AM CT

Knueppel has scored in double digits in every one of his four appearances so far in the regular season, though his numbers have experienced an uptick in the last two games. The absence of Brandon Miller (shoulder) has opened up more opportunities for the Duke product, and he responded with a career-high 20-point effort against the Wizards on Sunday, Oct. 26 and a 19-point, three-rebound, four-assist effort against the Heat on Tuesday, Oct. 28. 

The Hornets are 2-2 to start the season and have been involved in high-scoring games every time, potentially boosting Knueppel's chances of filling out the stat sheet if he sees enough time. Considering he's averaging 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.5 minutes per game so far, Knueppel seems to have a strong enough floor to believe he can reach this 19.5 P+R+A mark for a third straight contest.

Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs: Julian Champagnie over 15.5 points + rebounds + assists -- Underdog, 8 AM CT

Even though Victor Wembanyama has stolen most of the spotlight for the Spurs, and for good reason after being named the Western Conference Player of the Week in the first week of the regular season, Champagnie has quietly played well for the Spurs, too. The former St. John's standout has entrenched himself in a starting role in the early stages of the season and has surpassed expectations to date due to his two-way contributions. 

He's coming off a nine-point, nine-rebound effort against the Toronto Raptors on Monday, Oct. 27, and he's been doing a solid job of filling out the stat sheet. Champagnie has recorded at least 18 P+R+A in each of his last three games while averaging 30.0 minutes per game and shooting 50 percent from the floor, as well as 35.7 percent from three. If he remains in the starting lineup versus the Heat, who have shown quite a few defensive shortcomings so far, Champagnie is a good value bet to surpass this P+R+A line for a fourth consecutive contest.

Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Jimmy Butler over 10 rebounds + assists -- PrizePicks, 8 AM CT

Butler has responded to the expectations of being the second-best player on the Warriors roster behind Stephen Curry, and he's been putting up solid numbers across the board in his first four games of the 2025-26 campaign. Butler opened the season with a 31-point, five-rebound, four-assist performance against the Lakers on Opening Night, and he's scored at least 20 points in all but one of his five contests. However, we'll focus on what he can bring to the table in other areas outside of scoring. 

Butler has recorded at least nine rebounds + assists in four of his five contests, and he's reached the 10 R+A mark in three of the last four. The Bucks aren't an imposing unit when it comes to crashing the glass, and Butler can also post solid numbers as a playmaker, especially if the Bucks focus their defensive scheme on trying to slow Curry down. He seems to have a good shot at posting at least 10 rebounds + assists for a third straight appearance.
