Grayson Allen (Phoenix Suns) Under 3.5 Assists (-154)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Raptors gear up to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Grayson Allen, but betting on him to dish out more than 3.5 assists feels risky. Over his last five outings, Allen has averaged just 2.8 assists, and when you zoom in on his performance away from home, that number barely ticks up to 3. He's had some solid games, sure, but when matched against the Suns, who have held him to an average of just 2 assists in their recent encounters, the trend looks even bleaker. With an impressive hit rate of 4 out of 5 for going under, and 3 for 3 on the road, it's clear that the odds favor a quieter playmaking night for Allen. In this matchup, the expectation is for him to fall short of that 3.5 mark, making the under an enticing option to consider.

Kris Dunn (LA Clippers) Under 15.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Clippers vs. Bulls matchup, Kris Dunn's recent performance paints a compelling case for betting the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists total of 15.5. Over the last five games, Dunn has averaged just 5.8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists-numbers that simply don't add up to that lofty line. Even against the Clippers, where he's managed only 5.2 points historically, his contributions have been minimal, averaging just 3 rebounds and 3 assists against them.What's most striking is his overall hit rate; Dunn has gone under this mark in 12 of his last 13 games, including a perfect 8 for 8 in away contests. With the Clippers' defense tightening at home, it's hard to see Dunn breaking through for a standout performance. The numbers are on our side, making this a smart bet to consider as tip-off approaches.

Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks) Over 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to host the Cavaliers, Naji Marshall stands out as a prime candidate for the Over on 20.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Looking at his recent home performances, Marshall has averaged a robust 22 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over his last five games in Dallas. The home court clearly energizes him, and he's demonstrated an impressive hit rate, going Over in 5 of his last 6 home outings.While his overall stats show a consistent 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists across his past five games, the matchup against Cleveland offers a favorable environment. Historically, he tends to elevate his game against them, averaging 10.4 points, albeit with a dip to 6 at home. Yet, with an expected stat value of 24.38 and a 15.2% model edge supporting this play, it feels like Marshall is primed to shine

Dejounte Murray (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 15.5 Points (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we dive into Saturday's clash between the Rockets and Pelicans, Dejounte Murray stands out as a compelling target for the points over at 15.5. This season, Murray has become a scoring machine, averaging a robust 20.8 points over his last five games. Notably, he's been even more prolific on the road, posting 21 points per game away from home. Against the Pelicans, his numbers shine even brighter, averaging 25 points in their recent matchups. With a remarkable hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last games, there's a strong case for him to continue this trend. Given his expected output of nearly 19 points, it's hard to ignore the value here. Murray's ability to elevate his game in crucial moments makes the Over 15.5 a smart play as he aims to lead his team against a tough opponent. Don't miss this opportunity to back a player in form!

Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers roll into Dallas, the spotlight shifts to his ability to impact the game. Recent trends suggest that Mitchell might struggle to hit the mark of 37.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. Over the last five games, he's averaged 34.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, but those figures dip while playing away, where he's managed just 19.4 points and 3.2 rebounds. Notably, against the Mavericks, his numbers are even less impressive; he averages just 24.5 points per game on the road and a meager 1.5 rebounds. Furthermore, in his last nine away outings, he's hit the under in eight. Given these patterns, it seems prudent to target the under on Mitchell's combined total, especially with the Mavs' strong defense looming.

Tari Eason (Houston Rockets) Under 14.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Tari Eason. However, betting on him to surpass 14.5 points and assists feels risky. Over his last five games, Eason has averaged just 6.6 points and 0.8 assists, clearly struggling to find his rhythm. At home, where he usually performs slightly better, his numbers rise to 11 points, but that still falls short of our target. Historically, against the Pelicans, he's managed an average of only 10.4 points, and notably, just 8.2 when playing in Houston. His recent home outings show even less, with only 0.2 assists against this opponent. With Eason hitting the under in four of his last five games and a projected stat line of just 11.18, taking the under on his points + assists seems like a smart move for this matchup.
