With a prop set at 5.5, it's hard not to lean towards the under, especially given Mitchell's recent performance. He has hit this mark in his last 20 games-every single one at home, which speaks volumes about his role in the offense. At a staggering 92.6% implied probability, it's clear that the books are anticipating a quieter night for him in the assist column. The Celtics are known for their defensive prowess, which could further complicate his ability to distribute the ball effectively.

A perfect storm of defensive pressure and a shift in offensive dynamics makes the under on Mitchell's assists a compelling bet this Friday night.
