Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Josh Giddey steps onto the court against the Philadelphia 76ers, the numbers tell a compelling story for those considering the under on his assists total of 10.5. While Giddey has been impressive lately, averaging 11.6 assists over his last five games, his performance dips significantly against the Bulls. In their recent matchups, he's averaged just 9.4 assists overall against them, and when playing away, that number plummets to 5.5.With Giddey on the road, he's hit the under in four of his last six games, and the 76ers' defense presents a formidable challenge. They excel at limiting playmakers, which could further curtail Giddey's distribution opportunities. Given these trends, along with an expected stat value of just 8.71, betting the under becomes not just a calculated risk but a sensible play.
