Ghost Ballers vs Ball Hogs Prediction & Pick

Although Ghost Ballers are undefeated, an upset isn't out of the question. They've been susceptible to slow starts, highlighted by their minus-3.0 first-half average scoring margin. If the Ghost Ballers start slowly again, they could be in trouble against Ball Hogs, who have five players shooting 40.0% or better from the three-point line.

Ghost Ballers rely on inside scoring and rebounding to win games, but that'll be easier said than done if Ball Hogs start knocking down their shots early on. I wouldn't be surprised if this is another back-and-forth effort with Ball Hogs prevailing due to their superior shooting.

Final Score Prediction: Ball Hogs: 51 | Ghost Ballers: 49

Ghost Ballers vs Ball Hogs Best Bet

Since I'm predicting an upset, taking Ball Hogs as the 2.5-point underdog is the best bet for this game. Again, their three-point shooting and speed are among the best in the BIG3. If they can avoid settling things in the paint, they have a recipe for success on their hands against a big-heavy team like Ghost Ballers.

Bet: Ball Hogs +2.5 (-114)
