Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Let's turn our attention to Reed Sheppard, Houston Rockets' guard, in their upcoming face-off against the Sacramento Kings. Sheppard's had a decent season, but his assist game has not been on fire of late. Historically speaking, when the Rockets host, Sheppard's assist numbers don’t exactly soar. He's consistently hit under 7.5 assists in his last 20 home games - that's a 100% hit rate, folks. That's not a fluke; it's a pattern. Meanwhile, the Kings aren't exactly known for giving away assists either. So, on this balmy Thursday night, putting your money on Sheppard to fall under 7.5 assists seems like a smart bet. The data, the home court advantage, and Sheppard’s recent form all align. Now, let's sit back and watch the story unfold. See you courtside!

Russell Westbrook (Denver Nuggets) Under 3.5 Threes Made (-1429)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Join me in a little journey down Russell Westbrook's three-point lane. You might be surprised to learn that Westbrook's under 3.5 threes made has hit in all of his last 19 games. That's right, not a single game exceeding those numbers. Even more illuminating, when playing at home, which is the case against the Sacramento Kings, he has kept that streak alive for his last 20 games. Westbrook's shooting beyond the arc isn't the crux of his game. He's more of a drive-and-dish artist, preferring to take his points in the paint. The implied probability of 93.5% gives us a comforting safety net. So, fellow bettors, it seems a wise move to target Westbrook for under 3.5 in the upcoming Houston Rockets vs Sacramento Kings showdown. It's the kind of bet that makes you feel like you're already ahead of the game.
