Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 4.5 Assists (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming matchup between the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings, targeting Malik Monk for under 4.5 assists is a savvy move. Monk's recent performances highlight a consistent trend, particularly when he's on the road. Averaging just three assists in his last five away games, it's clear he struggles to orchestrate plays outside of his comfort zone. The Kings' defense has been particularly stingy in limiting assists, and Monk's average against them is merely 4.4, dipping further to three on their court. Despite his overall hit rate being impressive over the last 17 games, Monk has notably hit the under in each of his last four away contests. With the odds implying a 57.1% chance for this under, it's hard to ignore the numbers. Expect Monk to focus more on scoring than playmaking, making this prop bet a compelling choice.
