LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball and his three-point shooting. While he's been a remarkable shooter, his recent trends tell a different story, especially on the road. Over his last five away games, he's averaged just five threes, and when matching up against the Magic, he's netted only 3.8 threes per game in similar settings. Defensively, the Magic have tightened up against perimeter threats, and with Ball's average against them sitting at 3.2 threes, it raises eyebrows about hitting that 4.5 mark. With a hit rate of just 64% in his last 11 away games, the under seems more than plausible. In this matchup, expect him to fall short of that threshold as he navigates Orlando's defense, making the Under 4.5 an enticing bet.

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. Da Silva has been on a roll at home, averaging an impressive 12 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five games in front of the home crowd. He's not just a role player; he's found a groove, hitting the Over in 15 consecutive home games. Against Charlotte, he's faced challenges, averaging around 4 points and 3 rebounds in their last matchup, but with the momentum he's carrying, those numbers are poised for a surge. Given his overall hit rate of 16 out of 20, it feels like a solid bet to take the Over on 7.5. With the Magic needing every point to secure a win, expect da Silva to step up big time in this pivotal matchup.
