Orlando Magic vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks : Expert Betting Guide

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

As LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets travel to take on the Orlando Magic, we should keep a keen eye on his three-point shooting, particularly targeting the under on 4.5 made threes. While Ball has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent performances tell a different tale. Over his last five games, he's averaged just over five threes made, but against the Magic, he's historically lagged, hitting only 3.2 threes per game. Playing away, that drops slightly to 3.8, and with Orlando's defense tightening around the arc, Ball may find it tough to find his rhythm. In fact, he's hit the under in 7 of his last 11 away games. Given these trends and the matchup specifics, expecting him to stay under 4.5 seems like a smart play. Let's ride the under and watch his attempts closely-less could definitely be more this time around.
