Aaron Nesmith (Indiana Pacers) Under 2.5 Assists (-200)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Aaron Nesmith's recent performance supports a bet for Under 2.5 assists in the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards. His average assists for the last five overall games is 1.2, which drops to just 0.4 when playing away. This trend is consistent even against the Wizards, with his average assists at 0.8 overall and 1.6 when playing at an away venue. Furthermore, Nesmith's expected stat value is only 1.14, significantly lower than the outcome point of 2.5. The data also shows a strong hit rate, with 13 out of the last 14 overall bets and all 11 of his last away bets hitting the under. This strong historical performance, coupled with his lower assist averages, indicates a good chance of Nesmith not surpassing 2.5 assists in the match.
