LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, there's a compelling case to bet the under on his three-pointers made at 4.5. While Ball has displayed impressive shooting lately, averaging 5.2 threes in his last five games, he has historically struggled against the Magic. In fact, he's only managed to hit an average of 3.2 threes in their recent matchups, dropping to 3.8 when playing on the road. Considering the pressure of an away game, it's telling that he's converted just 7 of his last 11 opportunities to exceed this line. With an expected value of only 3.26 threes for this matchup, it seems the odds are stacked against him. As the Magic tighten their defense, particularly against perimeter threats, this could very well be a night where Ball's shooting falls below expectations.
