Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 8.5 Assists (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors head to Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but betting on him to eclipse 8.5 assists might be a stretch. While Barnes has dazzled with an average of 12.2 assists over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story, dropping to just 9.6. When facing the Grizzlies specifically, he's only averaged 5.2 assists away, indicating their defense knows how to stifle his playmaking.With a hit rate that's impressive at home but falters on the road-12 out of his last 15 away games falling under this mark-it's clear the environment plays a significant role. Moreover, with his expected stat value hovering around 6.23, the under feels increasingly like a wise choice. As the Raptors visit a tough Memphis squad, don't be surprised if Barnes finds himself distributing less than usual in this matchup.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (+101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Atlanta Hawks face off against the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes might be on Jalen Johnson. However, betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 17.5 feels like a savvy move. Sure, Johnson has averaged 9 boards and over 8 assists in his last five games, but let's dig deeper. On the road, he's been less impactful, averaging just 7.2 rebounds and a paltry 2 assists against this opponent.In fact, his overall performance against the Nets is telling-he's only managed 4.6 assists and 9.4 rebounds in recent matchups. With a hit rate of 3 out of 4 for this prop recently, it seems like the odds are leaning toward a quieter night for him. Given his recent away form, expecting him to surpass 17.5 seems like a stretch. Don't be surprised if he finishes below that mark when the final buzzer sounds.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Hornets and Pacers, Kobe Brown's recent performances suggest a compelling case for betting the under on his combined points and rebounds total of 16.5. Over the past five games, he's averaged just 11 points and 3.2 rebounds, a trend that seems even more pronounced when he's on the road, where he's only managed 10.6 points and 4.6 rebounds. Against the Pacers specifically, Brown has struggled, averaging a mere 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in their last five meetings, and his away stats dip even further to just 1 point and 0.5 rebounds. With a hit rate of 13 out of his last 16 games and a remarkable 16 of his last 20 away games staying under, it seems prudent to expect another quiet night for Brown.
