What cashed

ALT: Hawks +9.5 (-272 DraftKings / -300 FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: The main line was Magic -2.5 to -3, so +9.5 bought about seven extra points. Atlanta covered this number in 9 of its last 10, and Orlando was without Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac. - What happened: Atlanta won outright by 7, clearing the number by 16.5. The extra points were never needed once the Hawks closed the fourth. - Worth watching: Buying points on a short underdog gives room for a game like this, where the lead changed hands late. The cost is the price, so it fits best as a leg.

Paolo Banchero 4+ assists (-365 DraftKings / -390 FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Banchero hit 4+ assists in each of his last 10 games and 61 of 81 last season. Franz Wagner was off the injury report, so Orlando could run its normal sets. - What happened: Banchero had 10 assists to go with 35 points and 7 rebounds in 41 minutes, 6.5 over the 3.5 line. He shot 10 of 12 from the field and 12 of 16 at the line, with 6 turnovers. - Worth watching: Forty-one minutes gives him plenty of chances. A low assist line for a primary creator is a steady angle, but the price is heavy.

Desmond Bane 20+ points + rebounds + assists (-389 DraftKings / -490 FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Bane hit 20+ PRA in each of his last 5 and 8 of his last 10. With Black and Isaac out, we expected him to carry more of the creation. - What happened: 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists for 25 PRA, 5.5 over the 19.5 line. He shot 5 of 15, including 3 of 10 from three, and made it on a rough shooting night. - Worth watching: Clearing a PRA line while shooting 5 of 15 says the floor is solid. When his shot falls, this number has plenty of room.
