Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In Sunday's showdown between the Mavericks and the Lakers, targeting Austin Reaves for under 36.5 points and assists makes a lot of sense. While Reaves has been a bright spot for the Lakers lately, averaging 21.6 points and 4.6 assists on the road, his recent performances against Dallas tell a different story. In their last five matchups, he's struggled to hit the mark, averaging just 13 points and 2.8 assists when playing away against this very opponent. With a hit rate of 10 for 10 over his last ten games, the pressure might be getting to him in hostile territory. Plus, considering his overall performance this season and the Mavs' ability to clamp down defensively, it's reasonable to expect he'll fall short of that lofty total. With the numbers leaning heavily towards the under, this bet feels like a solid play for Sunday.
