Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 8.5 Assists (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but a savvy bet could be targeting the Under on his assists total set at 8.5. While Barnes is a playmaker, he's averaged just 5.2 assists in away games against Memphis over his last five encounters, and his overall average dips to 9.6 on the road. Furthermore, the Grizzlies' defense is known for tightening up in their home arena, leading to a notable drop in Barnes' assist numbers. In fact, he's only managed to eclipse this total in 6 of his last 15 road games. With an expected assist value around 6.19, it seems this trend is likely to hold true. Considering Memphis's defensive prowess, betting the Under on Barnes could be a smart play as he navigates a tough matchup on the road.

As the Hornets gear up to face the Pacers, all eyes will be on Kobe Brown, but the smart play here is betting the under on his combined points and rebounds at 16.5. Recent trends reveal a pattern; Brown has averaged just 11 points and 3.2 rebounds over his last five games, and when playing away, those numbers dip to 10.6 and 4.6. Against Indiana specifically, he's struggled even more, managing an average of just 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in their last encounters. With an overall hit rate of 13 out of the last 16 games, it's clear he's finding it tough to break through. The Pacers' defense will be a challenge, and with his away performances showing an average of just 1 point and 0.5 rebounds against this opponent, it's hard to envision him surpassing that 16.5 mark. This under bet has solid backing,

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Kobe Brown's rebounding numbers, particularly the under on 5.5 boards. Historically, Brown has struggled to make an impact on the glass against the Pacers, averaging a mere 1.4 rebounds in their last five encounters, and shockingly just 0.5 when playing in Indiana. While his recent away average hovers at 4.6, that number is skewed; it's a far cry from the 5.5 line we're targeting. With a solid hit rate of 14 out of 20 games this season, it's clear that Brown's rebounding prowess diminishes in this matchup. Given the Hornets' overall team dynamics and the statistical landscape, it feels like a wise move to bet the under on Brown's rebounds-especially with an expected stat value of only 3.05. All signs point to a quiet night on the boards for him
