Orlando Magic vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks (LaMelo Ball Key Factor): Winning Game Angles

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-133)

As LaMelo Ball heads into this matchup against the Orlando Magic, we're eyeing the under on his three-pointers made. Sure, he's been hot lately, averaging 5.2 threes over his last five games, but context is key. When he's on the road, that number dips to 5, and against the Magic, he's only managing around 3.8 threes per game over their recent meetings.With Ball facing a Magic defense that's been particularly effective at limiting perimeter shots, it's no surprise he's only hit the over in this matchup about 27% of the time recently. Given the expected stat value of 3.29 threes and his away hit rate of 7 out of 11 games falling under 4.5, it seems like a smart bet to take the under. As the Hornets visit Orlando, we anticipate Ball's shooting may cool off just enough for this prop to hit.
