Prop #1 – Kon Knueppel 4+ Made Threes<\/h2>

4+ made threes (-110<\/a>) at FanDuel<\/strong><\/p>

Knueppel averages 3.5 made threes per game, showing consistent volume from beyond the arc. His minutes and shot attempts provide steady opportunities to clear this line.<\/p>

Facing Charlotte, the pace is high with a total of 223.5. The Hornets’ defense struggles to contain perimeter shooters, ranking poorly in opponent three-point percentage.<\/p>

Knueppel has hit four or more threes in multiple recent outings, aligning with his season averages. His role as a floor spacer ensures continued attempts.<\/p>

Given his volume and matchup, Knueppel is well-positioned to knock down 4+ threes tonight.<\/p>

Prop #2 – Luka Doncic 30+ Points<\/h2>

30+ points (-115<\/a>) at DraftKings<\/strong><\/p>

Doncic leads the Lakers’ offense, averaging 33.3 points per game with heavy usage and minutes. His shot volume and free-throw attempts keep him consistently near 30 points.<\/p>

Facing Sacramento, the pace is high with a total of 227.5. The Kings’ defense allows 121.4 points per game, giving Doncic favorable scoring opportunities.<\/p>
