Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes will naturally be on LeBron James. However, it's worth noting that the veteran star has been trending toward a lower assist total lately. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged just 8.6 assists, and at home, that number dips to 7.6. Against the Thunder specifically, he's been even less of a playmaker, averaging only 5.6 assists in their last five encounters. With LeBron's recent home games yielding just 6.6 assists against Oklahoma, it's clear that he's not pushing the envelope like we might expect. Additionally, in his last 20 outings, he's hit the under on this prop a staggering 16 times. Given these trends, taking the under on 9.5 assists seems like a savvy move, especially as he may focus more on scoring against a Thunder team that's struggled defensively.

When the Mavericks face off against the Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betters might want to consider the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists set at 40.5. While Flagg has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent performances tell a different story, especially on the road. Averaging just 23.4 points away from home, he's been less effective in hostile environments. His contributions dip further against the Mavericks, where he's only averaged 23 points across their last meetings.Moreover, Flagg's recent away stats show a steady decline in assists and rebounds, averaging 6.8 rebounds and only 2 assists over his last five games against Dallas. With a hit rate of just 10 out of the last 12 on the road, the odds suggest tonight might be a tough outing for him. Given the Mavericks' defensive prowess, the under on his combined numbers looks promising.
