Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana Pacers) Under 2.5 Assists (-179)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings, all eyes should be on Bennedict Mathurin's assist numbers, particularly the under on his prop line of 2.5. In his last five games, he's averaging just 1.2 assists overall, and even when playing away, that number creeps up only slightly to 1.4. Historically against the Kings, he's managed just 1.6 assists per game, and let's not forget that Sacramento's defense has held opponents to an average of 2 assists on their home court. Digging deeper, Mathurin's hit rate is impressive-19 out of his last 20 games have stayed under this mark, and he's hit the under in 10 of his last 11 away games. With the Clippers' potent offense likely drawing attention away from him, it seems reasonable to bank on Mathurin staying below 2.5 assists in this one.

Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers) Over 3.5 Assists (-172)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Kawhi Leonard's assist game is primed for a breakout against the Sacramento Kings this Sunday. With an average of 5.2 assists over his last five outings, he's clearly in a playmaking groove. Not to mention, he's been especially effective at home, where he's dishing out about 4.2 assists per game. The Kings have historically struggled to contain versatile forwards like Kawhi, allowing an average of 3 assists to forwards in their last matchups.What's even more compelling is Leonard's recent form; he's cashed the Over on 4 out of his last 6 games overall, and an impressive 5 out of 6 at home. With an expected stat value of 4.57 assists, this feels like an opportunity ripe for the taking. Given the stakes and Kawhi's ability to elevate his game when it matters, betting the Over on 3.5 assists seems like a smart move.
