That&#8217;s the fifth-worst 3-point percentage (28.3) in the NBA, and funnily enough, 0.1% better than his brother, Lonzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But LaMelo is still shooting with volume and has historically been much more efficient. I expect a regression to the mean sooner than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ball is a career 36.0% three-point shooter. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s averaged 3.2+ threes in each of the last three seasons. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Last year, Ball made 3.8 threes on 11.2 attempts (33.9%). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Bet on LaMelo Ball from 3-point range here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emergence of sharpshooting rookie Kon Knueppel means Ball won&#8217;t be attempting 11.2 threes a game anymore, but that shouldn&#8217;t matter against the Knicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York has the sixth-worst perimeter defence in the NBA (37.5%). It&#8217;s also allowing the sixth-most 3s per game to opposing point guards (3.49), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:121841\">Embed: #121841<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clippers moneyline (+130):<\/strong> Is backing a team on the moneyline that has lost 12 of its last 14 games risky? Sure. But I like L.A.&#8217;s chances against the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trae Young remains sidelined, and Kristaps Porzingis is out with an illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tandem of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard should be able to keep pace with what remains of Atlanta&#8217;s scrappy starting five (Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leonard has scored 30-plus in three straight while shooting well above 50.0% from the field, and Harden is having a renaissance season offensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 make your own NBA parlay at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\">The Clippers played the Hawks earlier with Leonard and against Porzingis and only lost by three in a rockfight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Cavaliers moneyline <\/strong><\/strong>(-455):<\/strong> I&#8217;m rolling with a chalky play to close this out.
