Jamal Shead (Toronto Raptors) Under 7.5 Assists (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Grizzlies host the Raptors, Jamal Shead's assist line set at 7.5 seems a bit optimistic, especially considering his recent form. Shead has been on a tear lately, but his overall production suggests a regression is due. In the last 20 games, he has hit the under 15 times, and when looking specifically at his away performances, he's only gone over that line in two of his last 16 games. Against a Raptors defense that tends to stifle playmaking, it's tough for him to find his rhythm. With an expected stat value hovering around 6.04 assists, it's clear that tonight's matchup isn't set up for him to exceed the mark. The implied probability of 58.1% also hints that the smart money is leaning toward the under. Trust the numbers and look for Shead to finish below 7.5 assists in this one.

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes and his ability to light up the stat sheet. However, a deeper dive into his recent performances suggests a different narrative. Barnes has averaged just 14.8 points and 12.2 assists over his last five games, and when hitting the road, those numbers dip even further to 13.2 points and 9.6 assists. Against Memphis, his numbers tell a similar story-averaging 19.6 points and 8.2 assists in recent encounters, but in away games, he's closer to 19.8 and 5.2. With a solid overall hit rate of 17 out of 20 for the under, and particularly impressive 13 out of 14 on the road, taking the under on Barnes' points plus assists at 26.5 feels like a savvy play. The data points to a quieter night for the versatile forward.

Recent trends suggest a tough outing for Barnes in hostile territory. Over his last five games, he's only averaged 14.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 12.2 assists-well below that mark.

With the Grizzlies' defense tightening up, coupled with a significant hit rate of just 13 out of his last 14 away games hitting the under, it's hard not to see value here. Expect Barnes to struggle to hit that 33.5 threshold against
