Tristan da Silva (Orlando Magic) Over 7.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)

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 for the over on his combined points and rebounds prop set at 7.5. Playing at home, da Silva has been a standout performer, averaging 12 points and 2.6 rebounds in his last five games at the Amway Center. He's consistently stepped up against the Hornets, with an average of 6.8 points in their previous encounters, but at home, he's shown a knack for elevation. With a stellar home hit rate of 15 for 15 in his last 15 games, it's clear he thrives on familiar ground. Considering his overall hit rate is a dazzling 16 out of 20, betting on the over feels like a smart play. With da Silva's expected stat value climbing to 10.73, this seems not just plausible, but likely.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-154)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, there's a compelling case to target him for under 4.5 three-pointers made. While he's been a sharp shooter lately, averaging 5.2 triples in his last five games, the away context shifts the narrative. On the road, he's hit just 5 per game, but against Orlando, his average dips to 3.8. Even more telling is his recent track record against the Magic, where he's managed only 3.2 threes in their last encounters. With a solid 7 of his last 11 away games falling below this mark, it feels like a ripe spot for the under. Given the stakes and Orlando's defensive schemes, Ball may find it challenging to light it up from beyond the arc. Betting on him to stay under 4.5 threes makes sense in this scenario.
