Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Set your sights on the Pacers vs Hornets clash this Friday. Our star of the show? LaMelo Ball. This kid's assist numbers have been off the charts lately, and we're seeing nothing to suggest a slowdown. With a stellar overall hit rate, he's been slinging dimes like a seasoned pro, hitting the mark in his last eight games. Even more impressive, he's kept up the pace on the road, hitting his stride in five straight away games. Facing off against the Pacers, he's been consistently brilliant, averaging 7.8 assists in recent matchups. And when in their house? Ball takes it up a notch, dishing out a whopping 9.5 assists on average. The number to beat is a modest 3.5. Do the math folks - LaMelo's been on fire, and it doesn't look like the Pacers are going to douse those flames. The smart bet? Ball over 3.5 assists.

Just picture this: it's Friday night, the Charlotte Hornets are facing off against the Indiana Pacers, and all eyes are on Brandon Miller. I mean, why wouldn't they be? Miller's been on an absolute tear recently, sinking threes like it's second nature. Over his last five games, he's averaged an impressive 3.8 three-pointers per game overall, and the same on the road. Not to mention, he's hit the mark in every single one of those games. Sure, he's facing the Pacers this time, and his average dips slightly to 2 threes per game on their turf. But let's not forget his recent track record against the Pacers: a notable 4 three-pointers per match. The stats don't lie, folks. Brandon Miller's been on fire, and I don't see him cooling down anytime soon. So, let's bank on Miller going over 2.5 threes in this game.

Andrew Nembhard (Indiana Pacers) Under 9.5 Rebounds + Assists (-147)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Pacers take on the Hornets this Friday, all eyes will be on Andrew Nembhard, but not for the reasons you'd expect. Nembhard's been having a bit of a dry spell at home; his average rebounds and assists barely scrape 5.8. Against the Hornets, he's struggled a bit more, averaging even less with 4.9. The numbers don't lie and in this case, they're telling us that Nembhard is likely to clock in under 9.5 rebounds + assists. Let's not forget his overall hit rate, which has been stellar with 5 out of the last 6 games coming in under. And let's talk about home sweet home - Nembhard's been consistent; the last 3 games at home have all hit under. So, it's safe to say, our money's on the under. As much as we'd love to see Nembhard break this pattern, the odds are stacked against him.
