Pelle Larsson returned from a left elbow injury on March 17 but played just 6 minutes in a blowout loss to Charlotte, posting 0 points. Before that injury, he was trending up with 12.6 PPG over his last 5 games and strong home splits (15.0 PPG). Tonight's rematch in Charlotte presents a road test—he averages only 8.4 PPG away versus 15.0 at home, and his recent season vs CHA shows 8.8 PPG across 6 meetings. Minutes allocation remains the biggest question mark given the injury setback and short playing time last game.
Kon Knueppel has guarded Larsson across 8.2 minutes, allowing 11 points on 57.1% FG. However, Larsson's overall vs CHA history shows only 8.8 PPG in 6 meetings, and his road averages (8.4 PPG) are significantly suppressed. The Hornets' defense rates 112.55 DE with -0.64 scoring suppression, neutral matchup value.

Larsson just returned from left elbow injury with minimal 6-minute action last game. He averages 8.4 PPG on the road and 8.8 PPG vs Charlotte specifically. Despite pre-injury form of 12.6 PPG in last 5 games, the injury return and road context strongly suggest depressed scoring. Charlotte's defensive rating and Larsson's minute-restriction risk make the under a lean.

Larsson just returned from left elbow injury with 6 minutes of action on March 17. He averages only 8.4 PPG on the road vs 15.0 at home. Season vs CHA: 8.8 PPG in limited roles. Expect cautious minutes management.
Recent 3.2 RPG in last 5 and 3.7 in last 10 suggest the 3.5 line is elevated. Away splits show 4.8 RPG but that's skewed by limited sample. If minutes are restricted due to injury, rebounding volume will suffer.
Season assist average is 3.3 APG. Last game back from injury he recorded 0 assists in 6 minutes. Recent away games show lower assist volume (2.8 APG away vs 3.8 home). Injury rust likely impacts playmaking.
Larsson makes 1.0 FG3M in last 5 games but away splits show only 0.4 FG3PM. Charlotte allows 0.327 three-point suppression. Limited minutes from injury return will reduce three-point attempts.
Last 5 games: 1.0 SPG with +0.3 variance. Season average is 0.7. The 0.5 line is below recent form and Larsson has shown improved defensive activity (1.0 SPG in last 5). Modest upside.
Points + Assists: Season mean is 14.2 (10.9 PPG + 3.3 APG). Recent form (12.6 + 3.0) yields 15.6. Away performance and injury return suggest depressed ceiling. Expect closer to 13-14 combined.
Points + Rebounds: Season mean is 14.3 (10.9 + 3.4). Recent away games and injury context suggest 12-14 range. The 18.5 line is overestimating his two-way production given road splits and elbow concerns.
