Ball is questionable tonight, but I for illustration his rebound prop if he’s capable to play connected Tuesday. I shared why successful today’s best NBA props for SI Betting: 

This season, LaMelo Ball is averaging 7.8 rebounds per crippled crossed six games, though he did miss Charlotte’s triumph complete nan Utah Jazz connected Sunday owed to an ankle injury.

Ball is listed arsenic questionable connected Tuesday night, but he could beryllium worthy a look successful nan prop marketplace if he plays. The Hornets defender has six aliases much rebounds successful 5 of his six games this season, grabbing astatine slightest 7 successful each crippled since he had conscionable 2 successful Charlotte’s opener.

The erstwhile first-round prime is besides averaging 10.7 rebound chances per crippled and is now taking connected a New Orleans squad that is 29th successful nan convention successful rebounding percent and 26th successful force rebounds per game. I’m buying Ball to person a large crippled connected nan solid – if he’s capable to spell – connected Tuesday. 

Bettors whitethorn want to hold and spot if Ball is officially ruled successful aliases retired for this matchup, but nan Hornets made speedy activity of nan Utah Jazz without him connected Sunday anyway.

Now, they’re taking connected a New Orleans squad that has nan worst mean constituent differential successful nan NBA and ranks past successful nett rating, 27th successful violative standing and 29th successful protect standing this season. 

The Pelicans person been awful, and there’s a chance that they could beryllium without a cardinal subordinate pinch Zion Williamson listed arsenic questionable for this game.

New Orleans is not only 0-6 consecutive up, but it’s covered nan dispersed conscionable 1 clip each play arsenic well. Meanwhile, nan Hornets are 4-3 against nan dispersed and are 16th successful nan convention successful nett standing done 7 games.

I’ll proceed to slice this Pelicans squad that seemingly has nary chance to make nan playoffs successful nan loaded Western Conference. 

Pick: Hornets +2.5 (-108 astatine DraftKings)
