Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Take a good look at Kevin Durant's recent performances and you'll see a clear trend. When going toe-to-toe with the Houston Rockets, he's averaging a combined 27.6 points and 5 assists. Throw in his last five road games and Durant's figures dip slightly to 25 points and 4 assists. Now, don't get me wrong, those are solid numbers, but they're just shy of the 31.5 points + assists line set by the bookies. Considering Durant's underlying stats, it’s clear that his game has been slightly off the pace recently. It's also worth noting that he's hitting the under 4 times out of his last 6 games overall and 3 out of 4 on the road. All signs point to a continuation of this trend in this matchup, making Durant's under 31.5 points + assists a solid bet in this scenario.
