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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets face off against the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on LaMelo Ball's three-point shooting. While he's been known to light it up, betting the under on 4.5 threes seems like a savvy move. Over his last five games, Ball has averaged 5.2 threes, but a closer look reveals he's only hitting 3.8 when playing away against this Magic team. Historically, he's averaged just 3.2 threes per game against them, and in their last 11 away games, he's hit the under in 4 of the last 5 matchups. With an expected stat value of just 3.29 and a hit rate of 7 out of 11 on the road, it's clear that while he's a talented scorer, the odds suggest tonight might not be his night from beyond the arc. The smart bet here is to lean into the under for Ball.
