Josh Hart (New York Knicks) Under 6.5 Assists (-149)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishingAs the New York Knicks gear up to face the Washington Wizards at home, targeting Josh Hart for under 6.5 assists seems like a smart play. While Hart has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent form suggests he might be in for a quieter night. Over his last five outings, he's averaged just 3.4 assists, and when playing at Madison Square Garden, that number ticks up to 5.2. However, against the Wizards specifically, he's only notched an average of 3.8 assists in their previous meetings at home. With his overall hit rate standing at a perfect 6-for-6 lately, it's easy to get drawn in, but context matters. The Wizards' defense is stingy, and with the Knicks' offensive structure, Hart may find himself facilitating less than usual. Given these factors, the under on 6.5 assists is not just a bet; it's a calculated insight into the matchup dynamics.
