LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Indiana, it's worth casting a strategic gaze at LaMelo Ball's performance. Now, Ball's a talented guy, no question. He's been delivering an average of 21.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 9.4 assists in his last five games. Impressive, right? But here's the kicker: when he's up against the Pacers on their home turf, his numbers tend to wane. In fact, his average drops to just 12 points, 2 rebounds and 9.5 assists. That's quite a dip. Even accounting for his better away overall stats, his numbers don't quite meet the lofty heights of 36.5 points + rebounds + assists. So, don't let the dazzle of his court-side moves fool you. In this matchup, we're saying take the under on Ball's combined total. It's not about doubting his skills, folks, it's all about playing the
