He's a player who's been performing consistently, delivering a solid average of 10.2 points and 3.6 assists across his last five games. Even on the road, Smart's numbers ratchet up, boasting an average of 11.4 points and 4 assists. But here's the clincher: when up against Denver, Smart's average points soar to 11.2, with assists at 5.2. This tells us he's got a knack for exploiting the Nuggets' defense. Now, with an Over 9.5 Points + Assists line on DraftKings, it's looking like a tantalizing prospect. Given that Smart's hit this mark in 8 out of his last 11 games overall, and 4 out of his last 5 away games, I'd say it's a pretty smart bet. Pun intended.
