Banchero and Johnson 6 Leg Southeast Opener Parlay Hawks at Magic, leg by leg

The six legs

Paolo Banchero 15+ points

Who: Orlando's first option at power forward: 34.8 minutes a game last season.

The number: 22.2 points a game across 72 games in 2025-26. 15+ trades at 75 to 88 cents, about 81.5% in the middle on Kalshi.

The matchup: Atlanta starts Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu up front. Banchero scored 24 with 7 rebounds in a preseason game this month, and the new offense still starts with him.

What beats it: A night where Sean Sweeney's new offense spreads the shots around, or foul trouble. Fifteen is still seven under his average.

Desmond Bane 10+ points

Who: Orlando's shooting guard, who played all 82 games in his first season with the Magic.

The number: 20.1 points a game in 33.6 minutes last season. 10+ sits at 87 to 93 cents, about 90% in the middle.

The matchup: He went 7 for 12 from three in a preseason game, and with Wagner coming back from a sore shoulder, Orlando needs his shooting from the start.

What beats it: A cold shooting night and a quick hook. Ten points is half of what he averaged.

Jalen Johnson 6+ rebounds

Who: Atlanta's engine: the Hawks' leader in points, rebounds and assists last season.

The number: 10.3 rebounds a game in 35.2 minutes across 72 games, and 14 in the April win over Orlando. 6+ trades at 74 to 93 cents, about 83.5% in the middle.

The matchup: He plays power forward against Banchero, and Atlanta won the rebounding battle 52-36 in that April meeting.

What beats it: Okongwu and Daniels take the boards around him, or a short night in a blowout. Six is four under his average.

CJ McCollum 2+ assists

Who: Atlanta's point guard in the starting five, after joining from Washington midway through last season.

The number: 4.1 assists a game in his 41 games as a Hawk and 3.9 across all 76. 2+ trades at 77 to 86 cents, about 81.5% in the middle.

The matchup: He brings the ball up in a lineup that kept its starting five from last spring, so the reads are familiar.

What beats it: A scoring night where he shoots instead of passing, or Johnson handles every trip.

Dyson Daniels 4+ rebounds

Who: A guard who rebounds like a forward.

The number: 6.8 rebounds a game in 33.2 minutes across 76 games last season, and 13 in Atlanta's 130-101 win over Orlando in April. 4+ trades at 76 to 89 cents, about 82.5% in the middle.

The matchup: Orlando starts Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. up front, so Daniels's boards come from long misses and loose balls, the way they did in April.

What beats it: Carter and Banchero clean the glass, or foul trouble shortens his night.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker 2+ assists

Who: Atlanta's leading scorer last season, who also handles the ball.

The number: 3.7 assists a game across 78 games in 33.4 minutes. 2+ trades at 74 to 83 cents, about 78.5% in the middle.

The matchup: He scored 25 in a preseason game this month, and defenses that chase him off the line leave passes open.

What beats it: A night where he hunts his own shot and the ball sticks.

Kalshi bid and ask read 2026-10-21 6:19 AM PT. The number beside each leg is Agent Dime’s own estimate, not a market price.

The price

Multiply the six asks and the ticket costs 48.4¢ for every dollar it pays: 2.07x, so $100 pays $206.82. The market’s own chances, the middle of each bid and ask, multiply to 32.3%. Agent Dime has all six landing at 28.8%.

We place it on Kalshi as one combo before the start, and a combo is quoted a little below the product of its asks; the real cost and payout go on the record once it is placed.

How it was built

• Orlando's points from its two surest scorers. Banchero's 15 against his 22.2 and Bane's 10 against his 20.1, both from 2025-26 regular-season per-game lines on Land of Basketball, checked against Basketball Reference.
• Atlanta's ball handlers. McCollum's 2 assists against the 4.1 he averaged as a Hawk, and Alexander-Walker's 2 against his 3.7.
• Atlanta's rebounders. Johnson's 6 against his 10.3 and Daniels's 4 against his 6.8. They had 14 and 13 against this same opponent in April, per the Associated Press recap.
• Left off on purpose. Franz Wagner, on his first night back from right shoulder soreness. Starters and availability come from RotoWire's lineup page, NBC Sports and the AJC's Hawks roster story, read the morning of the game.

Where it can break

All six legs have to land. The market's own chances multiply to 32.3%, under the 48.4% the asks need, which is the price of buying six lines at the ask instead of the middle.

A blowout is the biggest threat. Atlanta won the four meetings last season by an average of 15 points, and starters who sit for the fourth quarter leave every one of these lines short.

A new coach in Orlando means a new offense, and opening nights can run long rotations. I re-check both official reports before tip.
