LaMelo Ball is providing the Hornets with a very impressive season, averaging a career-high 29.7 points while adding 5.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists. With eight 30-point games this season, he’s putting up big numbers and becoming a name to keep a close eye on for prop betting options.
On Tuesday, he’ll face the Brooklyn Nets as the Hornets look to bounce back from their recent struggles.
Here are some of the best Ball prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s matchup:
Best LaMelo Ball Prop Bets
27.5 Points (Over -110 / Under -120): Ball’s scoring has been electric, averaging 32.2 points over his last five games. He’s been the Hornets’ offensive engine, scoring at least 30 in eight of his 13 games this season. The over feels appealing for bettors banking on Ball’s continued scoring streak.
5.5 Rebounds (Over -125 / Under -105): Ball has hit this line in 6 of his 13 games this season, and his 5.0 rebounds per game align with this prop. The over offers slight value if you expect Ball to impact the glass against a Nets squad that has struggled without their interior anchor.
7.5 Assists (Over +126 / Under -162): Ball’s playmaking has been stellar, with a 7.8 assists average over his last five games. However, hitting eight assists consistently has been less frequent this season, as he’s gone over this mark in only six games. The under is heavily favored, but the over offers intriguing value for those expecting Ball to orchestrate effectively in a fast-paced game.
4.5 Threes (Over +115 / Under -148): Ball has been prolific from beyond the arc, averaging 4.6 made threes per game this season. He’s drained at least three triples in eight of his 13 games, making the over at +115 a strong value bet. The under is also a viable option since the line needing five is a high bar, but the value isn’t nearly as favorable.
40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (Over -110 / Under -120): This line aligns closely with Ball’s season averages (41.4). For bettors expecting another all-around performance, the over holds value, particularly in what could be a high-scoring game. However, the under could come into play if Ball struggles against Brooklyn’s physicality.
Double-Double (+235): With Ball’s playmaking and rebounding ability, the double-double prop offers value. He’s recorded one this season but has narrowly missed on several occasions.
Triple-Double (+1400): Ball’s ability to fill the stat sheet makes this a fun high-risk, high-reward option. Though he hasn’t recorded a triple-double yet this season, his versatility keeps this bet intriguing, especially in a game with plenty of possessions.
