As the Clippers gear up to face the Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Bennedict Mathurin, but the smart money might be on him falling short of 2.5 assists. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1.2 assists, and even when playing at home, that number ticks up slightly to 1.4. Against Minnesota specifically, he's managed only 1.6 assists in recent matchups. With the Clippers' offensive dynamics often favoring other playmakers, there's a solid chance Mathurin won't crack the 3-assist mark. The trend is compelling too; he's hit the under in 19 out of his last 20 outings, showcasing a remarkable consistency in not being a primary facilitator. Given the Timberwolves' defense, which allows only 2 assists per game to opponents in their last 11, it's tough to see Mathurin surpassing this benchmark. Taking the under seems like a savvy play here.
Kris Dunn (LA Clippers) Under 10.5 Points + Assists (-130)

When looking at Kris Dunn's recent performances, it's hard to ignore the trends that suggest he might struggle to hit the over on 10.5 combined points and assists. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 5.8 points and 1.2 assists-a stark contrast to the number we're targeting. Against the Timberwolves, his numbers dip further, with only 3.6 points and 1.6 assists on average. And let's not overlook the Clippers' defensive prowess; they've limited opposing guards effectively, contributing to Dunn's struggles. With a recent hit rate of only 5 out of 6 for the under, and an impressive 4 for 4 in home games, the evidence leans heavily towards him not reaching that threshold. Expect the Clippers to clamp down on him, making the under on Dunn's points and assists a savvy play.
