As we gear up for the matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns, Jalen Green's performance has us considering the Under on his combined points and assists at 25.5. Although Green can light up the scoreboard, his recent form shows he's averaging just 9.6 points and 2.4 assists over his last five games, which puts him well below this line.Against the Timberwolves, he has historically faced stiff competition, averaging only 22.4 points in their last five matchups, while the Timberwolves' defense allows just 16.2 points and 4.4 assists to opposing guards. With Green hitting the Under in four of his last five contests, it's clear that he's struggling to find his rhythm. Given these numbers, taking the Under feels like a savvy move as he continues to adapt to the pressures of the league.

Donte DiVincenzo (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 4.5 Assists (-161)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Timberwolves gear up to face the Suns, all eyes should be on Donte DiVincenzo's assist total, particularly with the line set at 4.5. While DiVincenzo has been serviceable at home, averaging 4.6 assists in his last five games on his court, it's important to dig deeper. Against the Suns, he's struggled, dishing out just 2 assists per game in their last matchup and averaging only 1.8 against them overall. With the Suns' defense tightening up lately, his overall assist average of 3 in the recent stretch suggests he might not find the open looks he needs to go over that line. Plus, he's hit the under in 16 of his last 20 games, and the trend continues at home, where he's gone under in 8 of his last 11 appearances. It's looking like a solid play to fade DiVincenzo's assists tonight.
