LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the Hornets' face-off against the Orlando Magic, LaMelo Ball's three-point shooting presents an intriguing opportunity for an under bet at 4.5. While Ball has averaged a solid 5.2 threes in his last five games, his performance away from home has dipped slightly to 5 per game. Against the Magic, he's averaged just 3.2 threes in their previous matchups, and 3.8 when playing in Orlando. The trend becomes even clearer when you consider his last 11 away games, where he's only surpassed that 4.5 mark 7 times. Given the Magic's defensive scheme, which has been effective at limiting perimeter shots, it's reasonable to expect Ball to struggle a bit here. With an expected stat value of just 3.26, this feels like a prime spot to fade him. Let's take the under and watch the numbers play out!
