As the Lakers travel to Dallas, all eyes are on LeBron James, but betting on him to dish out more than 9.5 assists might not be the smartest play. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 7.4 assists, and when playing away, that number dips to 7. In fact, against the Mavericks, he's managed only 6 assists per game away from home recently. This matchup could see him focusing more on scoring, especially given the Mavericks' defensive schemes. Historically, LeBron has hit the under in this category 16 out of his last 19 games, with an impressive 18 out of 20 on the road. The Mavericks will be eager to pressure him, which could further limit his assist opportunities. With the expected stat value at only 7, opting for the under on LeBron's assists feels like the savvy move here.
