Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When you're looking at Bennedict Mathurin's assist numbers, it's hard to ignore the trend pointing towards the Under on 2.5 assists against the Kings. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1.2 assists, dipping slightly to 1.4 when playing away. Let's not forget his history with the Kings; despite their usually fast-paced game, Mathurin has only managed 1.6 assists on average against them recently. If we zoom in on his performance against home teams, he's only cleared this mark in 1 of his last 11 games. With the Clippers likely focusing on their own scoring, Mathurin might find himself in a more off-ball role, limiting his opportunities to facilitate. Given his impressive hit rate-19 out of 20 times under 2.5 assists-this feels like a solid play. Expect Mathurin to be more of a scorer than a distributor this Sunday.

As the Los Angeles Clippers gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, keep an eye on Kawhi Leonard's assist total.

Historically, he's hit the over on 3.5 assists in four of his last six outings, showcasing both consistency and a growing rapport with teammates.Against the Kings, who tend to struggle defensively, Leonard's ability to distribute the ball could shine. The Kings allow an average of 3 assists from opposing players on their home court, which aligns well with Kawhi's knack for finding the open man. With the expected stat value sitting at 4.57, this bet feels like a solid opportunity. If Leonard continues to play with this kind of vision, taking the over seems like a wise move.
