Khris Middleton (Washington Wizards) Under 3.5 Assists (-179)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Memphis Grizzlies gear up to face the Dallas Mavericks, all eyes will be on Khris Middleton, but perhaps for the wrong reasons if you're considering his assists. With an average of just 2.8 assists over his last five games, it's clear he's not the playmaker he once was. In fact, he's only managed to top 3.5 assists in 3 of his last 11 outings, suggesting a more subdued role lately. Against the Mavericks, who typically hold their opponents to about 5 assists per game at home, Middleton's chances of breaking through that threshold look slim. With an expected stat value of only 2.71, the under on 3.5 assists feels like a solid bet. Given the current trends and his hit rate, it's safe to say Middleton might just fall short of that mark, making this a compelling play for under bettors.
