Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Trail Blazers face off against the Jazz, eyes naturally turn to Cody Williams, but a closer look suggests he might struggle to find his playmaking rhythm. Williams has averaged just 1 assist over his last five outings, and even more telling, on the road, that number drops to a mere 0.4. When you consider his previous matchups against Utah, he's only managed 1 assist per game away from home.What's intriguing is his recent performance-he's hit the under in all his last 11 games, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. With the Jazz's defense tightening up, especially against guards, it's reasonable to expect another quiet night for Williams in the assist department. This matchup may not be the stage for him to shine, making the under on his assists a savvy play as he navigates a tough road environment.
