Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into Indiana to face the Pacers, all eyes will be on Kam Jones, but betting on him to go under 4.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Over his last five games, Jones has averaged 3.8 assists, and when we zoom in on his away performances, that number ticks up slightly to 4.2. However, against the Pacers, he's managed just two assists in their last encounters-what's more, that's consistent whether he's at home or on the road.In his last 20 games away, he's hit this under 15 times, showcasing a pattern that aligns well with the matchup. Given that he's only cleared 4.5 assists in three out of his last four games, the odds seem to favor the under. With the Pacers focused on tightening their defense, this might just be the perfect storm to capitalize on Jones not hitting his assist mark.

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but we might want to consider betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 17.5. In his last five games, Johnson has averaged just over 9 rebounds and 8 assists, but when playing away, those numbers dip significantly. On the road, he's managing only about 8.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists, which puts him around 16.4 combined-well below our target.Against the Nets, his road stats are even less promising; he's averaged just 7.2 rebounds and a mere 2 assists per game. With a hit rate of only 4 out of his last 7 away games for this prop, it feels like a solid play to bank on Johnson falling short against a Nets team that's tough on the boards and defensively savvy.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets gear up to take on the Utah Jazz, all eyes will be on Reed Sheppard, but we're looking at the Under on his combined points and assists total of 21.5. Despite a solid home advantage, where he averages 19 points and 5.8 assists, recent trends suggest he may struggle against this Jazz lineup. In their last five matchups, he's averaged just 15 points and 3.6 assists, which brings him well below the mark we're targeting. Moreover, Sheppard's numbers against Utah show he's only managed 9 points and 2.5 assists on average in their last encounters, far from the lofty total we're considering. With a hit rate of 11 out of 14 for the Under recently, it's clear that he may find it tough to breach that 21.5 threshold. This matchup could be a perfect storm for the Under, making it a savvy play for the night.
