Collin Gillespie (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Assists (-164)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, Collin Gillespie's assist numbers are drawing some keen attention. Currently set at under 4.5 assists, there's a compelling case for this bet. Gillespie has been solid, but with a recent expected stat value of just 3.08, it's evident he may be stretching for those extra assists. Let's not forget the Suns' defensive prowess; they've been known to suffocate playmaking opportunities, particularly against guards, which makes Gillespie's task even tougher on the road. Although he's hit the mark in his last five games, he notably shines more at home. With an impressive away hit rate of 4 for 4, it's worth noting that he's been living on the edge. All signs point to a struggle for Gillespie to surpass that 4.5 threshold in this matchup-making the under a savvy play.

In the matchup between the Timberwolves and Suns, targeting Donte DiVincenzo for under 17.5 points and assists feels like a smart play. Recently, he's been averaging just 10 points and 3 assists over his last five games, with his home performance hardly offering any boost-only 11.2 points and 4.6 assists per game at Minnesota. Historically, when facing the Suns, he's only managed around 12 points, and at home, that drops to 8.5. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find that he's hit this under in 14 of his last 16 outings, including 8 of his last 10 at home. With an expected stat value of roughly 14.78, it's clear he's been trending downward against strong defenses like Phoenix's. All signs point to DiVincenzo struggling to reach that 17.5 mark, making the under a compelling choice in this matchup.
