Jevon Carter (Chicago Bulls) Under 2.5 Assists (-189)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs we gear up for the Hornets' clash with the Magic, Jevon Carter's assist numbers present a compelling case for taking the under on 2.5. Despite his hustle, Carter has been averaging just 1 assist over his last five games, and his home performances dip even further to 0.8. When facing Orlando specifically, he's managed about 1.2 assists lately, which suggests he might struggle to reach that 2.5 mark tonight. Moreover, the Magic's defense has been solid against guards, limiting opposing players to an average of 1.8 assists in their last five outings. With a hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 games for hitting under this number, the trends are favoring a tight performance from Carter. Given all these factors, it seems likely we'll see him stay below that threshold, making the under a smart play.
