As LaMelo Ball prepares to face the Orlando Magic, we're leaning toward the under on his three-pointers made, set at 4.5. While his recent numbers showcase a decent average of 5.2 threes per game overall, his away performance tells a different story. Over the last five games on the road, he's managed just 5 per game, and historically against the Magic, he sinks only around 3.2 threes. The matchup also favors the under; in his last 11 away games, he's hit the mark just 7 times. With the Magic's defense tightening up, limiting opponents' perimeter scoring, it's reasonable to expect Ball will struggle to reach that 4.5 threshold. Given he's projected at around 3.26 threes for this contest, betting on the under feels like a smart move in this setting.
Tristan da Silva (Orlando Magic) Over 7.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Tristan da Silva. Playing at home, he's been a force to reckon with, averaging an impressive 12 points and 2.6 rebounds in his last five games at the Amway Center. Not only does da Silva thrive on his home court, but he's also hit the Over on points and rebounds in every one of his last 15 home games-a staggering run that speaks volumes.In matchups against the Hornets, he's found the net for about 6.8 points and secured roughly 2.2 rebounds, but those numbers are set to climb. Given da Silva's consistent upward trajectory and his expected stat value of 10.66, betting the Over 7.5 feels like a no-brainer. With a hit rate of 16 out of his last 20 games, he's primed to dominate tonight.
