Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors gear up to face the Celtics in Boston, targeting Scottie Barnes for under 7.5 assists feels like a savvy play. While he's been dishing out an impressive average of 11 assists in his last five games, his performance tends to dip away from home. Specifically, he's only managed 9.2 assists on the road and just 3.8 assists against the Celtics in their last meetings. That's telling, especially considering Barnes has hit the under in an impressive 9 out of his last 13 away games. Moreover, Boston's defense is no walk in the park; they've been tough on playmakers all season. With an expected stat value of just 6.13 assists, it seems likely that Barnes will struggle to hit that 7.5 mark in this matchup. Given the trends and the formidable Celtics defense, it's a smart bet to lean towards the under here.
