Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers roll into Dallas, all eyes will be on Austin Reaves, but betting on him to surpass 36.5 combined points and assists might be a stretch. While he's been solid overall, averaging 20.8 points and 5.4 assists in his last five games, his numbers dip when playing away. Specifically, he's averaging just 21.6 points and 4.6 assists on the road, which doesn't quite stack up against the Mavericks.Recent matchups reveal a concerning trend; against Dallas, Reaves has averaged a mere 13 points and 2.8 assists away from home. His last 10 outings have seen him go under this total every time, and it's not just a fluke-his away hit rate is a perfect 13 of 13, painting a clearer picture. With the pressure of the Mavericks' defense looming, Reaves might find it tough to put up the numbers we'd need to hit that over.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to Saturday's matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the San Antonio Spurs, targeting Nikola Jokic for under 24.5 rebounds and assists feels like a savvy play. Despite his stellar performance, Jokic's recent numbers at home reflect a slight dip-averaging 12.4 assists and 14.6 rebounds-bringing him down to a combined average of 27, but that figure is slightly inflated against weaker defenses.The Spurs have historically given him a tougher time, with Jokic averaging just 8.8 assists and 12 rebounds at home against them. Plus, over his last five games at home, he's only hit the mark 6 out of 11 times. With an expected stat value of 19.51 and the Nuggets' game flow potentially favoring fewer overall possessions, it's reasonable to believe Jokic might fall short of the 24.5 threshold this time around. Let's ride the under on this one!

Austin Reaves (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Lakers and Mavericks, targeting Austin Reaves for under 41.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists feels like a savvy move. While Reaves has averaged a solid 20.8 points and 5.4 assists over his last five games, his performance dips notably on the road, where he's only contributing 21.6 points but just 4.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds. Against the Mavericks, his numbers fall even more; he's averaged just 13 points and 2.8 assists in away games against them. With the pressure of playing in Dallas, it's likely he'll struggle again to reach those lofty totals. The stats suggest he's hit this under in 13 consecutive away games, and with the Mavericks' defense tightening up, expect Reaves to come in under 41.5 when the final buzzer sounds Sunday.
