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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks, targeting Khris Middleton for under 3.5 assists seems like a savvy play. Over his last five games, Middleton has averaged just 2.8 assists, consistently falling short of that 3.5 mark. Plus, when facing Dallas, his performance dips even more, with an average of 4.5 assists against them, but recent trends show he's been more of a scorer than a facilitator.Dig a little deeper, and you'll notice that in his last 11 games against teams on the road, he's only hit that 4-assist benchmark 8 times. With an expected stat value of around 2.71, it's clear that the odds are stacked against him. Given his recent form and the Mavericks' defense, it feels like a perfect storm for the under bet. Middleton's playmaking role appears limited, making this a promising wager.
