Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana Pacers) Under 2.5 Assists (-192)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Bennedict Mathurin, targeting the under on his assists against the Timberwolves seems like a savvy move. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1.2 assists overall and 1.4 when playing at home. That's a telling sign, especially considering he's only found himself above this threshold against Minnesota, where his assists average is slightly better at 1.6. Yet, the Timberwolves have been stingy, allowing just 2 assists per game to opposing shooting guards recently.Mathurin's track record is compelling: he's hit the under in 19 of his last 20 games. When we look at recent matchups, he's only managed more than 2.5 assists once in his last 11 appearances. With the odds heavily favoring the under and the Clippers' offense likely to channel through other playmakers, this feels like a calculated bet to take.

Kris Dunn (LA Clippers) Under 10.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Los Angeles Clippers gear up to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kris Dunn becomes an intriguing player to watch. His recent performance paints a picture that suggests a quiet night ahead. Averaging just 5.8 points and 1.2 assists over his last five games, Dunn's contributions have been minimal. In fact, against Minnesota, he's averaged a mere 3.6 points and 1.6 assists, which raises red flags considering the 10.5 points + assists line we're eyeing.Moreover, the Clippers' offensive dynamics often mean that Dunn plays a supportive role rather than a central one. With a hit rate of just 5 out of 6 for going under this mark lately, and a perfect 4 for 4 in his last home games, the momentum strongly leans toward him staying below that threshold. It's a calculated bet on the under, capitalizing on Dunn's current trajectory and the matchup dynamics at play.
