Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Kam Jones rolls into Indiana to face the Pacers, we're looking at a compelling play on the under for his assists total set at 4.5. While he's been solid lately, averaging 3.8 assists over his last five games, those numbers dip slightly to 4.2 when he's on the road. The Pacers' defense has a knack for tightening up against playmakers, with Jones managing just two assists in their last two matchups. Considering he has hit the under in 15 of his last 19 away games, this trend is hard to ignore. The expected assists value sits at just 2.76, significantly below our mark. Given the context of this matchup and his recent performance, it seems likely that Jones will struggle to connect with his teammates against a disciplined Indiana defense. It's a smart move to bet the under here; the numbers tell a story that's hard to overlook.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors head into Memphis to face the Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes-specifically his assist totals. While Barnes has been dishing out an impressive 12.2 assists per game over his last five, we need to dig deeper. His away performance tells a different story, averaging just 9.6 assists, and historically, he averages only 5.2 assists against Memphis when playing on the road. With the Grizzlies' defense tightening up at home, they've been particularly stingy lately, limiting opposing playmakers effectively. Barnes' recent trend shows he's hit the under in 12 of his last 15 away games, and with an expected value of just 6.19 assists for this matchup, it's clear that 8.5 may be a stretch. With all the factors lining up, taking the under on Barnes seems like a smart move for this game.
