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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, LaMelo Ball's recent shooting trends suggest that betting the under on his three-pointers made is a savvy move. While he's been impressive overall, averaging 5.2 threes in his last five games, his numbers dip when he's away from home. Specifically, he's hitting just 5 threes per game on the road and only 3.8 against the Magic in their last few encounters.The matchup also doesn't favor him; he typically makes around 3.2 threes against Orlando, and given the Hornets' struggles in this environment, it's no surprise that he's hit the under in 4 of his last 5 outings against them. With an expected value of just 3.29 threes tonight, it seems the odds point toward a night where LaMelo might find himself a little short of that 4.5 mark. It's a solid opportunity to cash in on the under.

Tristan da Silva (Orlando Magic) Over 7.5 Points + Rebounds (-103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Tristan da Silva, particularly for the points and rebounds prop set at 7.5. Playing at home, da Silva has been a force, averaging 12 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five games in Orlando. His overall hit rate is impressive, nailing this mark in 15 straight home contests and 16 of his last 20 overall. While he's faced the Hornets before, his recent form suggests he can rise above past performances; he's shown the ability to step up, averaging 6.8 points against them historically. Given the stakes and the home-court advantage, it feels like a prime opportunity for da Silva to exceed that 7.5 threshold. With an expected stat value of 10.66, it's hard not to see him justifying our confidence in this bet.

Ryan Kalkbrenner (Charlotte Hornets) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (+171)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Ryan Kalkbrenner steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, we're eyeing a solid opportunity for him to surpass that 9.5 points and rebounds mark. While his recent averages may suggest a modest 5 points and 4.4 rebounds, the matchup against the Magic could flip the script. Historically, Kalkbrenner has found his groove against Orlando, averaging 13.3 points and 7 rebounds in their recent encounters-numbers that jump to 10 points and 9 rebounds when playing away.Moreover, he's been a consistent contributor on the road, hitting this over in 11 of his last 19 away games. The Magic's defense has shown vulnerabilities, and with a model edge of 15.5%, it's clear that Kalkbrenner is primed for a breakout. Don't underestimate him; he's poised to deliver the goods tonight!
