Bronny James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 2.5 Assists (+122)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingIn the upcoming clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks, placing a bet on Bronny James to record under 2.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Despite the allure of his star-studded name, the numbers tell a different story. Over his last five games, Bronny has averaged just 0.6 assists overall, and when hitting the road, that dips to an average of 1. Even more telling is his history against the Mavericks. In his previous matchups, he's failed to notch a single assist against them. With his overall hit rate a perfect 9 for 9, and an astonishing 13 for 13 in away games, it's clear that Bronny's role isn't to facilitate. In a high-profile matchup like this, expect him to focus on scoring rather than playmaking, making the under on 2.5 assists a compelling bet.
