Deandre Ayton (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Lakers head to Dallas, all eyes will be on Deandre Ayton, but betting on him to go over 24.5 points and rebounds feels risky. Sure, he's shown flashes of brilliance, but lately, he's been more subdued, averaging just 12 points and 6.8 rebounds over his last five games. When he's away, those numbers dip even further to about 10.4 points and 6.2 rebounds-far from the mark we need. Moreover, Ayton's recent performances against the Mavericks haven't been impressive, with him averaging just 12 points in away matchups and struggling to match his rebounds. With a hit rate of 9 out of 10 for going under in his last ten outings, it's clear he's found himself in a pattern that doesn't bode well for exceeding that 24.5 threshold. In a tough road environment, it's wise to lean towards the under for Ayton.
