Colorado Avalanche vs Los Angeles Kings: Cale Makar Under 0.5 Assists (+130)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Cale Makar is a top player for the Colorado Avalanche, but tonight he faces the Los Angeles Kings at home. The Avalanche have been scoring a lot, averaging over 3.6 goals a game, while the Kings struggle to find the net, getting only about 2.7 goals on average. With Colorado taking a lot of shots, Makar might not be setting up as many assists as we hope.
The bet on Makar getting under 0.5 assists feels reasonable because the Kings allow just slightly more shots than they take. The risk here is that he could surprise us and make a play, but with their defensive style, it's tough to count on him for a setup tonight.
