Desmond Bane is sitting at 20.6 PPG, 4.1 RPG, and 4.2 APG on the season while logging 34.2 MPG, and his recent production has stayed solid with 22.3 PPG over the last 10 and 24.0 PPG over the last 20. The biggest factor is role: Anthony Black and Franz Wagner are both out, which should keep Bane’s minutes and on-ball involvement strong, especially in playmaking. The matchup data is mixed, though: his 15-game history vs this opponent is only 17.7 PPG, but he has averaged 5.47 APG, so assists may be the cleaner angle than pure points. Orlando’s opponent defense data also shows a 115.14 defensive rating allowed with a 0.045 scoring suppression and a -0.381 three-point suppression, which adds some caution to the scoring ceiling.
Key defender matchup data is available, but it does not provide a reliable single primary defender assignment here, so no specific defender matchup data. The opponent profile shows a 115.14 defensive rating, 100 pace, and -0.381 three-point suppression, which modestly caps Bane’s scoring and makes the assist path more attractive than the points path.

This is the strongest value on the slate for Bane: DraftKings shows -160 on the over with a 7.9% edge and 12.83 EV per 100. He is averaging 4.16 assists on the season, 4.3 over the last 10, and teammate absences should help keep his creation role elevated.

His season mean is 20.56 points and his last 20 is 24.0, so 24.5 sits above his core baseline despite strong minutes. The opponent history is also muted at 17.7 PPG across 15 games, so I’d lean under unless the volume spikes.
He averages 4.16 APG for the season and 4.3 over the last 10, while teammate absences should preserve usage and creation responsibility. This is also the best value prop on the board with a 7.9% edge and 12.83 EV per 100.
Bane’s season rebound average is 4.15 and his last 5 is 3.4, so 4.5 is slightly above his normal output. The opponent split does not show a strong rebound upside, making the under the safer side.
He averages 2.06 made threes on the season and 2.0 over the last 10, which is below the 2.5 line. Orlando’s three suppression of -0.381 adds another reason to avoid the over.
Bane is at 1.0 steals per game on the season and 1.2 over the last 5, but 1.5 is still a high bar for a defensive stat with volatility. His season stocks average is 1.47, so the full steals over is not ideal.
His season block rate is only 0.4 and his last 10 is 0.1, well below a 0.5 line. This is the clearest under on the board.
His season stocks average is 1.47 and last 10 is 1.3, so the total sits just under the benchmark. With that kind of profile, the under is the more conservative play.
Bane’s last 5 turnover average is 1.4 and last 10 is 1.3, both below 2.0. Even with elevated handling from absences, the recent baseline does not justify an over.
Using his season averages, his projection lands around 29.0 PRA, and combo props carry extra variance. Since his recent scoring is fine but not explosive enough to safely clear an elevated combo line, the under is preferable.
His season points plus assists total is 24.76, but his opponent history is much more assist-heavy than scoring-heavy. With the line at 23.5 and three of his last five games below 23.5 PA, this is a fragile over.
Bane averages only 8.25 rebounds plus assists on the season and 7.7 over the last 5. The 8.5 line asks for a near-best-case rebounding or assist night, which is not the default expectation.
