LaMelo + Kon = Money in the Bank of Benj!

Las Vegas - Kinda shocked the LaMelo Ball wasn't suspended after grabbing and tripping Miami star Bam Adebayo. He will play, but Ball and sharpshooter Kon Knueppel both were HORRIBLE against the Heat and they were lucky to pull off a miracle 128-127 win. LaMelo was 2-16 from downtown and the rookie record holder for threes, Knueppel, was a shocking OH for SIX! That ain't gonna happen again. The Hornets have been on a quite a run since the end of January, winning 29 of the last 39. As you will see in ECKstats below, Charlotte lost the first game against Orlando this season, then bounced back to win three in a row. Even more impressive, the Hornets have won 15 of the last 18 on the road. Since this is a road game, we'll drop some cash on the Hornets, but it's gonna be a money line bet.
