Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers prepare to host the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but I'm leaning towards the under on his assists at 9.5. While LeBron is undeniably a playmaker, recent trends suggest he may not hit that mark tonight. Over his last five games, he's averaged 7.4 assists, and even at home, that number slightly creeps up to 7.6. However, against the Thunder, he's only managed 5.6 assists on average, with just 6.6 when playing in Los Angeles. Digging deeper, LeBron has gone under this threshold in 16 of his last 19 outings, showcasing a remarkable 84% hit rate. At home, he's even more efficient, hitting the under in 8 of his last 9 games. With the Thunder's defense focusing on limiting his playmaking, I believe we'll see LeBron finish around that 6-7 assist mark tonight.
