LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-141)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball heads into this matchup against the Orlando Magic, the case for betting the under on his three-pointers made at 4.5 is compelling. Despite his recent average of 5.2 threes in his last five games, his performance against this Magic squad has historically been less prolific-he's averaged just 3.2 threes in their encounters, with an even lower 3.8 when playing away. In fact, looking at his away performances, he's hit the under in 7 out of his last 11 games. The Magic's defense tends to stifle perimeter shooters, which could further limit Ball's opportunities to jack up those long-range shots. With an expected stat value of only 3.26, this matchup is ripe for a lower output. Given the trends and the environment he's stepping into, the under seems not just reasonable-it's a savvy play.
