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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, the focus turns to his three-point shooting, particularly the under 4.5 mark. While LaMelo has dazzled fans with his shooting prowess, recent trends suggest a different narrative. Over his last five games, he's averaged 5.2 threes overall, yet against the Magic, that number dips to just 3.2, and even lower at 3.8 when playing away.The away court can be a tough environment, and with 7 of his last 11 away games landing under this line, we see a pattern emerging. The Magic's defense has proven effective in limiting perimeter shots, which could further hinder LaMelo's chances. Given that his expected stat value hovers around 3.26, targeting the under seems like a savvy play in this matchup. The numbers suggest that while he's capable, tonight might not be his night from beyond the arc.
