Odds available at draftkings at time of publishingAs the Lakers gear up to take on the Rockets at home, all eyes should be on Luke Kennard, particularly when it comes to his assists. While Kennard's season average has been an impressive 6.4 assists over his last five games, a closer look reveals that at home, he's only dishing out around 3.2 assists per game. Even more telling is his performance against the Rockets, where he's averaged just 1.6 assists in their recent matchups. The numbers suggest that Kennard has been a bit of a wallflower when it comes to facilitating at home, hitting the under in 19 of his last 20 games in this environment.

Betting on the Under here feels like a smart play.
