LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-161)

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, the spotlight shifts to his three-point shooting. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, we're targeting the under on his 4.5 threes made. Remember, despite averaging 5.2 triples per game recently, he's only hitting around 3.8 against Orlando in away games. This matchup tends to stifle his perimeter shooting, as he's averaged just 3.2 against them overall.In fact, over his last 11 away games, he's cleared this mark only 7 times, suggesting a trend of struggle when traveling. The Magic's defense, particularly at home, has tightened up, making those long-range looks harder to come by. With an expected stat value of just 3.26 threes and an implied probability of 61.7% for the under, it seems prudent to back the under on LaMelo's threes made in this matchup.
