Josh Hart (New York Knicks) Under 6.5 Assists (-149)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishingAs the Knicks gear up to host the Wizards, all eyes will be on Josh Hart's playmaking. While Hart has shown flashes of brilliance, the numbers suggest a compelling case for him to fall short of 6.5 assists. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 3.4 assists, and even on his home court, he only nudges that up to 5.2. Against the Wizards, his past performance dips further to 3.8 assists. With the Wizards likely focusing on containing him, the conditions are ripe for Hart to struggle with playmaking. His hit rate has been impressive lately, but let's not overlook that he's been over this mark only once in the last three home games. As the Knicks' system emphasizes ball movement, Hart may find himself distributing less, making the under on his assists a savvy play. In this matchup, expect him to come in below that 6.5 threshold.
