Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The betting rationale for Cam Thomas to achieve under 4.5 assists is based on his recent performance data. Thomas' average assists against the Charlotte Hornets, regardless of the location, is 1.6, and it only slightly increases to 2.4 when he plays in Charlotte. These numbers are significantly lower than the proposed 4.5 assists. Furthermore, the expected stat value for Thomas is 3.65, still below the outcome point. His overall success rate for achieving under 4.5 assists in the last three games is 2/3, and his success rate in achieving this in away games over the last eighteen matches is 12/18. Both of these statistics lean towards the under. Thus, despite Thomas averaging slightly higher assists in his last five games overall, his specific performance against the Hornets and in away games supports the under 4.5 assists bet.
