Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the matchup between the Clippers and Kings, targeting Bennedict Mathurin for under 2.5 assists feels like a savvy move. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1.2 assists, and even in home games, that number only nudges up to 1.4. The Kings, while no slouches, have allowed an average of 2 assists to opposing players in their last five outings. What's particularly compelling is Mathurin's historical performance against Sacramento, where he's averaged 1.6 assists. With a staggering hit rate of 19 out of his last 20 games hitting this under, it's clear Mathurin has struggled to find his playmaking groove. Expect the Clippers to focus on their stars, which further limits Mathurin's opportunities. Given the numbers, backing the under here seems like a no-brainer.
