Charlotte Hornets vs Sacramento Kings Prediction & Picks (LaMelo Ball Key Factor): Stat-Based Insights

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (+114)

As LaMelo Ball gears up to face the Sacramento Kings, there's compelling reasoning to target the under on his three-pointers made at 3.5. Despite his recent surge, averaging 4.8 threes over the last five games, his home numbers tell a different story. He's only hit 4.6 at home and, in two matchups against the Kings this season, he's averaged a mere 3.2. Even more telling is his complete absence of deep shots against Sacramento when playing at home-zero threes made in their last encounter.With the Hornets needing to capitalize on other scoring avenues, LaMelo's focus may shift away from the perimeter. Add in a strong defensive approach from the Kings, and it's clear this game could see him kept under that crucial number. Given the context and recent history, taking the under on LaMelo's threes feels like a savvy play.
