The bet on Alperen Sengun to hit under 28.5 points + assists is supported by several key statistics. Even though Sengun's average points and assists tally in the last five games against the Utah Jazz is over the specified mark, this is skewed by his performance in home games. When playing away, his combined average for points and assists drops to 28, already under the set line. More importantly, his overall average in the last five away games is only 28 (23.8 points and 4.2 assists) and his expected stat value for this game is 26.13, both significantly lower than 28.5. Furthermore, while his hit rate is perfect in the last three games, his away hit rate is slightly less reliable at 75%. These factors suggest that Sengun is more likely to finish under 28.5 points + assists in this game.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Steven Adams' recent performance data supports the under 6.5 points bet. His average points scored against the Utah Jazz, the opponent team for the upcoming game, is only 2. This trend holds true even when he plays away from home, implying that the location doesn't significantly affect his scoring against the Jazz. Furthermore, his overall hit rate for the last 20 games is at 85% (17 out of 20) and his away hit rate for the last 10 games is 80% (8 out of 10). Although his average overall points scored in the last five games is slightly over the line (6.6), his performance against the Jazz suggests that he is likely to score fewer points in the upcoming game. Thus, the data indicates that the under bet is a good choice.
