Khris Middleton (Washington Wizards) Under 3.5 Assists (-182)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks, targeting Khris Middleton for under 3.5 assists feels like a smart move. Despite his talent, Middleton has averaged just 2.8 assists over his last five games-right in line with his overall performance. Digging deeper, his recent outings against the Mavericks have seen him dish out an average of 4.5 assists, but trends can shift quickly in the NBA. The Mavericks typically tighten their defensive screws, allowing only about five assists per game to opposing players in a home setting. With his overall hit rate standing strong at 3 for 3 in the last few contests, it's worth noting that consistency can sometimes lead to a regression. At this price, betting under feels like a solid angle, especially with the implied probability sitting at 64.5%. In this high-stakes game, expect Middleton's playmaking to be stifled just enough to keep him under the mark
