Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Cooper Flagg takes the court against the Los Angeles Clippers, it's worth considering the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists set at 40.5. While he's a dynamic player, his recent form tells a different story. Averaging just 30.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games, Flagg's production dips even further on the road, where he's only managing 23.4 points and 6.8 rebounds. Historically, he struggles against the Clippers, with his away points average against them sitting at just 23. When you factor in his away assist numbers-averaging a mere 2-it's clear the 40.5 mark might be a stretch. With a proven hit rate of 10 out of his last 12 road games going under this threshold, betting the under feels like a savvy play as we anticipate a tighter game in Los Angeles.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 9.5 Assists (-135)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Lakers host the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but let's not get too carried away with his assist numbers. Sure, he's a maestro on the court, but recent trends suggest he might not eclipse that 9.5 mark tonight. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged 8.6 assists, which dips to 7.6 at home. Against Oklahoma City, he's been even quieter, dishing out just 5.6 assists in their last matchups, and only 6.6 when the Thunder come to town. Moreover, in his last 20 games overall, he's gone under 9.5 an impressive 16 times. With the Lakers looking to assert their dominance at home, expect LeBron to focus more on scoring and less on playmaking. Thus, betting the under on his assists might just be the smart play tonight.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the San Antonio Spurs host the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but the under 41.5 points plus rebounds could be the savvy play here. While Wembanyama has been a revelation, averaging 31.6 points and 16.4 rebounds over his last five games, that trend may not hold against a physical 76ers team. At home, he's posting 33.2 points and 11.8 boards, which, while impressive, still keeps him shy of that lofty total. Moreover, he's averaged just 25.5 points and 10.5 rebounds against Philadelphia in recent matchups, showing a clear dip in production. Wembanyama's home performance against the 76ers has yielded a modest 33-point average. With a hit rate of 65% at home over his last 14 games, we might just see him fall short of that 41.5 threshold in this crucial

While he's been a standout performer, averaging 30.2 points and 3.6 assists over his last five games, these numbers dip significantly on the road. His away averages drop to 23.4 points and 6 assists, showing a clear trend of lower production outside familiar confines.Moreover, facing the Mavericks, Flagg typically nets around 23 points, and his recent away performance against them has been even more subdued, with just 2 assists.

With Dallas presenting a tough defensive matchup, betting the under looks like a savvy move for this outing.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs gear up to face the 76ers at home, there's a compelling case for taking the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 44.5. While he's been a sensation, averaging over 31 points, 16 rebounds, and nearly 5 assists in his last five games, the stats reveal a trend when he faces tougher defenses like Philadelphia. Historically, he's netted only 25.5 points against them, and even at home, he struggles to exceed those averages, posting just 33 points. Moreover, his rebounding tends to spike at home, but against this 76ers squad, he averages just 10.5 boards. With his overall hit rate of 12 out of 20 and an impressive 11 out of 18 at home, it's clear he can be contained. This matchup could very well keep him below that 44.5 mark, making the under a smart play.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to host the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic and his usual stat-stuffing prowess. However, the numbers suggest a different narrative for this matchup. While Jokic has been a rebounding machine with an impressive average of 15.2 rebounds and 12.8 assists over his last five games, his production against Portland could take a slight dip. Historically, he averages just 11.8 rebounds and 9.6 assists against the Blazers. At home, those numbers trend slightly upwards, yet they still fall short of that lofty 24.5 mark we're targeting. With his recent averages of 14.6 rebounds and 13.2 assists at home, it's clear that he often falls below our threshold against this particular opponent. Given his overall hit rate of 2 out of the last 3 games, taking the Under feels like the smart play in this context.
