Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into Indiana to face the Pacers, all eyes will be on Kam Jones, but betting on him to go under 4.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Over his last five games, Jones has averaged 3.8 assists, and when we zoom in on his away performances, that number ticks up slightly to 4.2. However, against the Pacers, he's managed just two assists in their last encounters-what's more, that's consistent whether he's at home or on the road.In his last 20 games away, he's hit this under 15 times, showcasing a pattern that aligns well with the matchup. Given that he's only cleared 4.5 assists in three out of his last four games, the odds seem to favor the under. With the Pacers focused on tightening their defense, this might just be the perfect storm to capitalize on Jones not hitting his assist mark.

As the Hornets prepare to face the Pacers, targeting the under on Kobe Brown's combined points and rebounds at 16.5 feels like a savvy play. The numbers tell a compelling story: in his last five games, Brown has averaged just 11 points and 3.2 rebounds. On the road, those figures dip slightly to 10.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, which still falls short of our target.Against Indiana specifically, his production has been even more muted, averaging only 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in their last five encounters. The road has not been kind to him either, with just 1 point and 0.5 rebounds against the Pacers when away.

In his last five games, Johnson has averaged just over 9 rebounds and 8 assists, but when playing away, those numbers dip significantly. On the road, he's managing only about 8.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists, which puts him around 16.4 combined-well below our target.Against the Nets, his road stats are even less promising; he's averaged just 7.2 rebounds and a mere 2 assists per game. With a hit rate of only 4 out of his last 7 away games for this prop, it feels like a solid play to bank on Johnson falling short against a Nets team that's tough on the boards and defensively savvy.

Kobe Brown's rebounding numbers tell a compelling story as he heads into this matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. While he's shown some hustle on the boards, averaging just 3.2 rebounds over his last five games, his away performances have been even more subdued, with a paltry 4.6 average. Facing the Hornets, who have a tendency to limit opponents' rebounding efforts, Brown has managed a mere 0.5 boards in his last outings against them away from home.The trend continues with a striking hit rate-only 14 of his last 20 away games have seen him exceed this threshold. With an expected stat value of just 3.05, it's hard to envision him breaking through the 5.5 mark in this contest. Bet the Under; the numbers suggest Brown may struggle to make a significant impact on the glass this Friday.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hornets gear up to face the Pacers, all eyes will be on Kobe Brown, but fading him might be the smart play here. Despite a solid average of 11 points over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story, where he's clocked in at just 10.6 points. When matched up against Indiana, the numbers drop further; he's managed a mere 1 point in their last encounter on the road. Brown's track record is also noteworthy, hitting the under in 13 of his last 17 games overall, and an impressive 16 of 20 when playing away. With his expected stat value sitting at 6.01, it's clear that the odds favor a dip below the 10.5 threshold.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Memphis Grizzlies gear up to host the Toronto Raptors, all eyes will be on Jamal Shead, but not for the reasons you might think. While the spotlight often shines on scoring, let's focus on his assist numbers, particularly the under on 7.5. Shead has been hitting the under consistently, boasting an impressive 14 out of 16 away games where he's come in below that mark. With the Raptors' defense tightening up, they've allowed only 21 assists per game in their last few outings. In fact, recent trends show that Shead's expected stat value hovers around 6.04, indicating he may not quite meet that assist threshold tonight. Given the stakes and defensive schemes at play, this matchup feels primed for him to struggle in distributing the ball. Taking the under on Shead's assists could be a savvy move for bettors looking to capitalize on these compelling trends.
