Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The under 27.5 points + rebounds + assists bet for Amen Thompson is statistically justified considering his recent performance and specific matchup. In his last five games, Thompson has averaged totals of 18.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists overall. This average decreases to 14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists when on the road. Even more telling, Thompson's averages against the Hornets are even lower, with 12.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3 assists, increasing only slightly on away games to 16 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. Moreover, the expected stat value for Thompson is 24.88, which is significantly lower than the outcome point of 27.5. These data points suggest Thompson is likely to perform under the given mark, making this a statistically sound bet.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 7.5 Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on LaMelo Ball for under 7.5 assists in the Charlotte Hornets vs Houston Rockets game is primarily supported by his recent home performance. While his average last five overall assists are high at 9.4, his average last five home overall assists drop to 6.2. This discrepancy suggests Ball's assist production may be influenced by his home court, where he has consistently fallen under the 7.5 mark. Additionally, his average assists against the Rockets are 7.2, closely bordering the proposed outcome point of 7.5, and his home hit rate for the last five games stands strong at 4/5. Despite an overall stronger performance, the specific circumstances of this game - being at home against the Rockets - seem to statistically pull Ball's assist count down, making the under 7.5 bet a logical choice.

This totals to 28 which is over the set line of 24.5. Furthermore, his overall hit rate in the last 4 games is 75% and his away hit rate in the last 11 games is 73%, further suggesting a strong likelihood of him surpassing the 24.5 points and assists mark. While his performance against the Hornets has been slightly lower, his recent form and away performance suggest he can overcome this.
