Hornets vs Clippers best bet: Kon Knueppel Over 3.5 threes (+120)
The Charlotte Hornets‘ three-point barrage travels to Tinseltown, and Kon Knueppel is our guy tonight.
King Kon is shooting a lethal 42.9% from arc, trailing only Stephen Curry in efficiency among high-volume shooters.
He torched the Los Angeles Clippers with a 6-for-9 night from downtown earlier this season. He’s also knocked down more than four made threes in six of his previous 11 games.
With L.A.’s defense focused on slowing snipers LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, Knueppel should find plenty of clean looks to light up the Intuit Dome and land this plus-money bet.

LaMelo Ball is averaging 7.8 assists this season, clearing 6.5 in 72% of his games. Feeding a red-hot Knueppel and Miller ensures his dime total rises.
With both teams combining for 247 points in their last meeting, and 6-4 to the Over in their previous 10 meetings, this high-paced track meet smashes the 223.5 game total.
