Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Let's take a look at Jamal Murray's assists record as the Denver Nuggets head to meet the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray's historical performance indicates a trend that's hard to ignore. He's averaged 5 assists in his last five outings, but when he hits the road, that number drops to just 4. Even more revealing, when he's up against the Thunder away from home, his assists average dwindles further to 3.6. He's been consistent with this trend, hitting the under in all of his last 4 away games. So, as much as we'd love to see Murray dishing out dimes left, right, and center, the stats tell a different story. The odds suggest a lean towards Murray scoring under 6.5 assists in this face-off. A bet on the under seems to be the smart play here. After all, the numbers don't lie.
