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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Bennedict Mathurin and his assist numbers, the current trend is hard to ignore. Averaging just 1.2 assists over his last five games, he's been more focused on scoring than playmaking. Against a solid Minnesota defense, that number could dip even lower. The Timberwolves have done well limiting assists, allowing just two per game to opposing players in their last five home matchups.Moreover, Mathurin's hit rate is striking; he's gone under 2.5 assists in 19 of his last 20 games, showing a clear pattern that speaks volumes. With the Clippers likely leaning on their more seasoned playmakers, Mathurin may find himself with fewer opportunities to dish out assists. It all leads to a compelling case for taking the under here-it's a safe bet that aligns perfectly with the current trajectory of his game.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kris Dunn's recent performances hint at a valuable opportunity to bet the under on his combined points and assists total of 10.5. Over his last five games, Dunn has been quiet, averaging just 5.8 points and 1.2 assists. His contributions against Minnesota have been even less impactful, with only 3.6 points and 1.6 assists per game in their recent encounters.Moreover, the Clippers' defensive scheme can stifle his opportunities. Dunn has hit the under in five of his last six games, and notably, he's gone under in all four of his most recent outings at home. Given the way he's trending, this feels like a solid spot to back the under on Dunn's points and assists, especially as he faces a Timberwolves team that won't make it easy for him to find his rhythm.
