Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks, targeting Khris Middleton for under 3.5 assists feels like a savvy play. While Middleton has shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit that mark. Over his last five games, he's averaged only 2.8 assists, and when we zoom in on his performances at home, that same average holds true.Against the Mavericks, the matchup could be tricky. He's averaged just 4.5 assists in their last five encounters, but the Grizzlies' defense has tightened up, leading to a notable decline in opponent assists-averaging only five per game at home. With a strong hit rate of 8 out of his last 11 home games falling under this number, betting the under on Middleton's assists feels like a smart choice. It's a calculated risk that aligns with the data and the current dynamics of the game.
