An intriguing play to consider on Sunday's clash between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers is Marcus Smart's over 8.5 points + assists. Smart, a dynamic player, has been on a tear lately, averaging 10.2 points and 3.6 assists overall in the last five games, and even better on the road with 11.4 points and 4 assists. Against the Warriors, he's been particularly potent, racking up an average of 13.3 points and 5 assists. That's much more than we need to hit our target.

Let's take a close look at Moussa Diabate of the Charlotte Hornets as they prepare to host Portland this Saturday. Now, Diabate has been showing a certain consistency, but not in the way you might think. He's been consistently staying under the 1.5 blocks mark, showing a pattern that's hard to ignore.

The numbers don't lie, and they're pointing to an under 1.5 blocks for Diabate this weekend
