Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 10.5 Assists (-323)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors head to Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but I'm inclined to take the under on his assists at 10.5. While he's been dazzling with an average of 12.2 assists over his last five games, that number dips to 9.6 when he's on the road. Moreover, facing the Grizzlies, he has historically struggled, averaging just 5.2 assists in away matchups against them.Adding to this, his overall hit rate is impressive-he's gone under in 16 of his last 20 games, and an even more staggering 13 out of his last 15 on the road. The Grizzlies' defense can be stifling, especially at home, which further supports the likelihood of Barnes falling short of that 10.5 mark. With an implied probability of 76.3%, this is a compelling opportunity to capitalize on his expected dip.

As the Raptors head into Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but don't be surprised if he struggles to hit that 19.5 combined rebounds and assists mark. Let's unpack this a bit. On the road, Barnes has averaged just 9.6 assists over his last five games, a stark contrast to his 12.2 overall average-indicating that he might not find the same rhythm away from home. When facing the Grizzlies, he's recorded around 5.2 assists and 6 rebounds, which brings him well below that threshold we're concerned about. With an impressive 18 out of his last 20 games hitting under this line, and a staggering 16 of his last 17 away games following suit, the trend is hard to ignore. This matchup could see Barnes fall short, making the under a compelling play as he navigates a tough Memphis defense.

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes should be on Scottie Barnes' rebounding numbers, particularly his line set at 10.5. Given his recent performances, the under seems not just plausible, but likely. In his last five games, Barnes has averaged a modest 5 rebounds overall, and when playing away, he's only managed 5.8. The trend continues against Memphis, where his average dips to 6 on the road. Moreover, Barnes has been consistently under this mark, hitting the under in his last 12 away games, showcasing a clear pattern. The Grizzlies are a formidable opponent, and their frontcourt is not easy to navigate, which could further limit Barnes' opportunities on the glass. With an expected stat value of just 6.67, taking the under feels like a safe bet in this matchup. It's hard to ignore the numbers telling us Scottie may struggle to reach that 10.5
