Kyshawn George has scored 18, eleven and 22 points to open the season. That doesn’t have to work against a Hornets pick: he’s reached ten in 32 of the 39 Washington losses he’s played in since the start of last season.
For these Hornets parlay picks, Charlotte’s centers offer two more routes. Moussa Diabate reaching six rebounds and Ryan Kalkbrenner reaching four have both regularly accompanied Hornets wins, although their shared minutes deserve a look.
A Charlotte victory is the premise; these are the supporting performances to compare around it. You can back the work on Charlotte’s glass or leave room for a productive opposing player, using the records and prices to decide which addition makes sense to you.
Three props to weigh with a Hornets win
The records below cover each player’s appearances for his current team since the start of the 2025–26 season, including the playoffs.
| Player & prop | Odds | CHA wins / WSH losses | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moussa Diabate 6+ rebounds Hornets · since 2025–26 |
−620 | 83.7% 36 of 43 Hornets wins |
75.6% 59 of 78 games |
| Ryan Kalkbrenner 4+ rebounds Hornets · since 2025–26 |
−251 | 81.0% 34 of 42 Hornets wins |
78.4% 58 of 74 games |
| Kyshawn George 10+ points Wizards · since 2025–26 |
−363 | 82.1% 32 of 39 Wizards losses |
76.5% 39 of 51 games |
Moussa Diabate: 6+ rebounds
Diabate’s six-rebound alternate is −620 at DraftKings. Since the start of the 2025–26 season, he’s reached six in 36 of 43 Charlotte wins, compared with 59 of 78 appearances overall.
His first two games this season produced eight rebounds apiece. Saturday’s win was the exception, with five in 22 minutes. That’s a recent example of Charlotte getting the result while this prop falls one board short.
The price is the main decision here. It’s considerably more expensive than either of the other options, while the latest winning miss shows you’re still adding a meaningful failure condition. Diabate reached six in eight of his last ten games overall.
Ryan Kalkbrenner: 4+ rebounds
Kalkbrenner’s four-rebound alternate is −251. In his Charlotte appearances since the start of last season, he’s reached four in 34 of 42 Hornets wins, compared with 58 of 74 games overall.
He’s opened this season with five, seven and five rebounds, working 14, 19 and 23 minutes. All three cleared the requirement, including both Charlotte wins, but that range of playing time is part of the case.
The lower price comes with a less consistent winning record than Diabate’s. Eight Charlotte victories in the sample ended below four rebounds, with the latest misses at three, two and three late last season. He shares center minutes with Diabate, so the two rebounding options are worth comparing rather than automatically stacking.
Kyshawn George: 10+ points
George’s ten-point alternate is −363. He’s reached double figures in 32 of 39 Washington losses since the start of the 2025–26 season, compared with 39 of 51 Wizards appearances overall.
His 18, eleven and 22 points to open this season have all cleared it. The eleven came in Washington’s lone defeat, and nine of his last ten games overall have reached ten.
This is a different way to support a Hornets win: Washington can lose while George remains involved. Seven Wizards defeats in the longer sample still ended below ten points, including a two-point game in December and five- and eight-point outings early this year.
Hornets parlay picks: choosing your support
Kalkbrenner brings the lighter price and three opening games above his line. Diabate has the stronger Charlotte winning record, but costs more and just missed in a win. George offers the opposing-player route with a useful recent scoring run.
If you prefer a rebound prop, choose how much you want to pay and which center’s minutes you trust. If your Hornets-win view allows George to keep scoring, his line gives you another angle. Check the actual SGP quote before deciding what to add.
