Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Spurs hit the court against the Suns, all eyes will be on Oso Ighodaro, but betting on him to go under 10.5 points plus assists feels like a savvy play. Ighodaro has been in a slump lately, averaging a mere 7.16 combined points and assists, well below our target. Digging deeper, his recent form shows he's hit the under in 17 of his last 20 games, and the numbers get even more daunting when he's away-he's eclipsed that mark just once in the last 14 road games.The Spurs' matchup against the Suns, who excel at suffocating opposing ball handlers, only adds to Ighodaro's challenges. With San Antonio's reliance on their stars, Ighodaro may find himself starved for opportunities. Given all this, betting the under seems not just prudent-it feels like a safe bet against the odds.
