LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When LaMelo Ball steps onto the court in Orlando, the odds suggest he might struggle to hit that elusive mark of 4.5 three-pointers. While his recent form shows an average of 5.2 threes in his last five games, a closer look reveals a trend that's hard to ignore. Against the Magic, he's only nailing about 3.2 threes per contest, and even on the road this dips slightly to 3.8. In fact, over his last 11 away games, he's surpassed this number just 7 times. With the Magic's defense tightening up on perimeter shooters, Ball might find it tough to find his rhythm. Considering the expected stat value is just 3.26 threes, betting the under here not only feels like a wise move but also aligns with the narrative that suggests his shots could be harder to come by in this matchup.
