As we gear up for the showdown between the Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies, Taylor Hendricks' prop bet for under 1.5 threes made is looking enticing. Sure, he's been a dynamic scorer, averaging 1.8 threes on the road, but his recent performances against Memphis have been telling. In their last five encounters, he's only managed to hit one three per game against them. Plus, let's not forget that he's been more of a role player in away games, with a hit rate of just 3 out of 4 in his last four outings. While his overall away hit rate is impressive at 16 out of 20, this matchup has its nuances. With the Grizzlies' defense tightening up, it's a perfect storm for Hendricks to fall under the mark. Betting on him to stay below 1.5 seems like a savvy play tonight.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes should be on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, particularly when it comes to his three-point shooting. While Prosper has shown flashes of potential, his recent trend against the Grizzlies is concerning.

Even though he's been hitting 4 out of 6 games overall, the matchup signals a tough night ahead in Memphis. With the odds favoring the under on 1.5 threes made, it's hard to ignore the data suggesting he'll likely fall shy of that mark. Given his recent numbers and the Grizzlies' defensive capabilities, betting under on Prosper seems like a savvy play this Saturday.
