Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks prepare to face the Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg. However, looking closely at his recent performances, betting on him to stay under 40.5 points, rebounds, and assists feels like the right call. In his last five games, Flagg is averaging just 30.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists, which puts him well below our target. On the road, those numbers dip even further, with averages of 23.4 points and just 6 assists. Against the Clippers specifically, his track record isn't much better-he's only managed around 23 points in their previous matchups. With a hit rate of 10 out of his last 12 away games falling under this total, it's clear that Flagg struggles to find his rhythm outside of his comfort zone. Expect a solid defensive effort from the Clippers to keep him in check, making the under a compelling bet here.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers get set to host the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but the smart money might be on him falling short of 9.5 assists tonight. In recent outings, LeBron has averaged just 8.6 assists, and at home, that number dips slightly to 7.6. When faced with the Thunder, he's averaged a mere 5.6 assists in their last few matchups, and even at Crypto.com Arena, it's only 6.6. With a hit rate of 16 out of his last 20 games hitting the under, and an impressive 8 of his last 9 at home, it feels like the assist total is set a touch too high. The narrative here isn't about LeBron's ability-he's still a floor general-but rather the matchup and current trends indicate he might not be facilitating as much as expected tonight. Bet the under with confidence!

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 32.5 Points + Assists (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg. However, a closer look at his recent performances suggests that betting the under on his combined points and assists at 32.5 might be the savvy play. Flagg has averaged just 23.4 points and 6 assists in his last five away games, well below our target. While he's had some explosive outings, facing a disciplined Clippers defense could stifle his impact. Historically, against the Clippers, he averages only 23 points and 3.3 assists. With an impressive hit rate of 10 out of his last 12 away games going under this mark, Flagg's recent pattern indicates a struggle to hit this high threshold. Given the stakes in this matchup, expect him to be more contained, making the under a compelling choice for savvy bettors looking to capitalize on the numbers.

Tyrese Proctor (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 13.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Grizzlies and Cavaliers, Tyrese Proctor stands out as a prime candidate to fall short of 13.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. His recent performance tells a compelling story; he's hit the under in 17 of his last 18 outings, showcasing an impressive consistency that can't be overlooked. Playing away from home adds another layer of challenge. In his last eight road games, he's managed to clear this threshold only once. The Cavaliers, known for their tenacious defense, will likely put the clamps down, making it tough for Proctor to find his rhythm. With an expected stat value of just 5.88, it's clear he's not on a trajectory towards a breakout game. As the Grizzlies face a determined Cleveland squad, we can confidently lean towards the under on Proctor's total, making this a strategic play for savvy bettors.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Nuggets gear up to face the Trail Blazers at home, eyes are keenly set on Nikola Jokic's rebounding and assist stats. While Jokic has dazzled with averages of 15.2 rebounds and 12.8 assists over his last five games, his recent performances against Portland suggest a different narrative. At home, he's hitting a solid 14.6 boards and 13.2 assists, but against the Blazers, those numbers dip to a modest 11.8 rebounds and 9.6 assists. Adding to the intrigue, Jokic has only surpassed that 24.5 combined mark in two of his last three games against this opponent. The matchup might just tighten up, considering Portland's defensive adjustments. With an expected stat value of 20.54, betting the under on Jokic's combined rebounds and assists feels like a savvy play here, particularly in a game where he might not need to do it all.

Deni Avdija (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-111)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes should be on Deni Avdija, but perhaps not in the way his fans hope. While he's had a solid season, averaging 22.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists over his last five games, playing away can be a different ball game. Notably, his away averages dip to 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists, which isn't enough to clear the steep 40.5 mark we're looking at.Against the Nuggets, his numbers take a hit too. He's averaged just 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds when playing in Denver. Given that he's hit the under in 15 of his last 19 outings, including a perfect 9 for 12 on the road, the smart play here is to lean into the under. Expect the home crowd to stifle his production
