Cason Wallace's assist numbers are painting a clear picture ahead of the showdown between the Thunder and Celtics. Playing at home, he's averaged just 1 assist over the last five games, a stark contrast to the 3.5 mark we're targeting. Even against a tough Boston squad, his recent performances show he's only managed about 2.5 assists per game at home when matched up with them. With the Celtics' formidable defense, they're likely to focus on limiting Wallace's playmaking, which has proven effective, as he's hit the under on assists in all his last ten outings. Given that he's been averaging a mere 0.6 assists in his last five overall, it's tough to envision him suddenly stepping up to that 3.5 threshold. This matchup is set up perfectly for taking the under.
Isaiah Joe (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-172)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
In the upcoming clash between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Boston Celtics, Isaiah Joe presents a compelling case for an Under bet on his rebounds, set at 3.5. While he's playing at home, where he averages a respectable 2.2 rebounds over his last five outings, his overall trend is less encouraging. In fact, Joe has managed just 0.6 rebounds per game in his last five appearances. Against the Celtics, he's logged only 2.8 boards on average, and his home performance against them is just slightly better at 3. Those numbers tell us that Joe has been more of a perimeter threat than a rebounder lately, and with his recent hit rate of 9 for 9 on the Under, it's clear he's not hitting that 3.5 threshold. With the Celtics likely focusing on other threats, we can confidently lean into the Under here.

As Tobias Harris takes the floor at home against the Philadelphia 76ers, all signs point to a strong performance that could easily push his points tally past the 11.5 mark. Harris has been nothing short of a scoring machine lately, averaging 13.8 points over his last five games, with a notable uptick to 14.4 when playing in front of the Detroit crowd. What's even more encouraging is his recent history against the 76ers, where he's averaged 14.7 points. Harris is riding a hot streak, having hit the over in three straight games-an impressive 12 out of 13 at home. Given his expected stat value of nearly 15 points, the odds favor him breaking through that threshold. With an implied probability of 56.5%, it's clear that Harris is primed for a standout performance. Snagging the over on 11.5 feels like a smart move tonight.

As the Milwaukee Bucks gear up to face the Miami Heat, all eyes will be on Kevin Porter Jr., but betting on him to score over 15.5 points might be a stretch. With an expected stat value hovering around 12.02, it's clear that Porter has been struggling to find his offensive groove lately, especially on the road. He's only managed to hit the over in one of his last five games, while his away performance has been particularly lackluster-hitting the under in all three of his most recent outings. Facing a tough Heat defense, which has a knack for containing perimeter threats, could further stifle Porter's scoring opportunities. Given that his recent form aligns more with an under than an over, this is a smart spot to lean towards the under for Porter's points. It's a calculated bet based on current trends and matchups, setting the stage for a potentially low-scoring night for him.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker might be a name to watch, but when it comes to his contributions on the court, betting the under on 7.5 rebounds and assists feels like the smarter play. In his last five games, he's averaged just 2.6 in both categories, a clear indication that he's not exactly lighting up the stat sheet. Against the Hawks, who have been tough on opponents at home, his averages dip further, landing at 2.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists. Historically, Alexander-Walker has managed only 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists against Brooklyn, and with the Nets' defense tightening up, he's likely to struggle. With an impressive 16 out of 17 hit rate recently, the trend is firmly in our favor. Given all this, it seems prudent to lean towards the under in this matchup, especially with the odds pointing to a 60.2% implied probability.
Cason Wallace (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 12.5 Points + Assists (-130)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Oklahoma City Thunder gear up to face off against the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Cason Wallace. However, given the recent trends, betting on him to go under 12.5 combined points and assists seems prudent. Wallace has struggled to find his offensive rhythm lately, averaging just 6.4 points and a mere 0.6 assists over his last five games. At home, he's only slightly better, with averages of 7.2 points and 1 assist. Against the Celtics, he's managed just 11 points on average, with a modest 2.5 assists at home. His consistency-or lack thereof-is telling; he's hit under this mark in each of his last 15 contests, home included. With the Celtics' defensive prowess and Wallace's current form, this bet feels like a smart move, aligning with the trends we've seen unfold on the court.
