Max Christie (Dallas Mavericks) Under 14.5 Points + Assists (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks head into New Orleans, all eyes will be on Max Christie, but I'm leaning toward the under on his points and assists total of 14.5. Christie has been struggling away from home lately, averaging just 6.6 points and 1 assist over his last five road games. When facing the Pelicans, those numbers dip even further, with him averaging a mere 2.2 points and 0.2 assists in their last matchup. Despite a solid overall hit rate, it's crucial to note that his production has waned significantly on the road, and the Pelicans' defense can be stifling. With an expected stat value of only 11.74, betting the under feels like a smart move. If he continues this trend, we could see Christie struggle to make an impact in a tough environment against a well-prepared New Orleans squad.

Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks) Over 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Naji Marshall has been quietly impressive lately, and Tuesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks presents a prime opportunity for him to shine. Averaging 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists over his last five games, he's been steadily building his contributions. When on the road, those numbers tick up slightly, suggesting he's finding his rhythm in away games, with 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists.What's particularly intriguing is Marshall's history against the Mavericks. He's averaged 4 assists in recent encounters, and while his rebounding stats have dipped when playing away, he's still capable of exceeding that 7.5 mark with a strong performance. Over the last 17 games, he's hit this over 13 times-an impressive 76% success rate. With Dallas struggling to contain versatile players, this feels like a solid bet for Marshall to surpass the 7.5 combined total. Expect him to make a mark in this crucial matchup.
