Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 8.5 Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors head to Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but this might not be the game to expect a high assist total from him. Sure, Barnes has dazzled with an average of 12.2 assists over his last five games, but let's dig a little deeper. When playing away, that number dips to 9.6, and against the Grizzlies specifically, he's averaged just 5.2 assists in their last matchup. Given Memphis's tough defense, which thrives on limiting playmakers, the odds seem stacked against Barnes hitting the over today. His overall hit rate of 14 out of 20 might look impressive, but he's been even more challenged on the road, with a perfect 12 for 15 on the under in away games. With the expected stat value hovering around 6.19, taking the under on Barnes' assists feels like a savvy play in what could be a tightly contested game.

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-119)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers, targeting Kobe Brown for under 16.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart play. Brown has been consistently underwhelming against the Pacers, averaging just 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in their last five meetings, with even more stark numbers on the road-only 1 point and half a rebound per game. His recent form backs this up; he's been averaging 11 points and 3.2 rebounds over his last five games, but when playing away, those numbers dip to 10.6 points and 4.6 rebounds. With an impressive 13 out of 16 hit rate lately, it's clear that Brown struggles to find his rhythm in this matchup. Given that the expected stat value sits at just 9.07, it's hard to see him crossing that 16.5 mark. This is a bet worth backing!

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Kobe Brown's matchup against the Indiana Pacers has all the markings of a low-rebound night. Despite playing a vital role for the Charlotte Hornets, his performance on the boards has dipped recently, averaging just 3.2 rebounds over his last five games. On the road, that number barely climbs to 4.6, but looking at his history against the Pacers, things get even murkier-he's only managed 0.5 rebounds per game in their last two encounters away from home. With the Pacers boasting a solid frontcourt and Brown's struggles against them, betting on him to stay under 5.5 rebounds feels prudent. Notably, he's hit the under in 14 of his last 20 away games, a trend that suggests tonight may continue that pattern. Expect him to focus on other facets of his game, leaving the rebounding numbers well below the mark.
