Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Cooper Flagg's performance against the Mavericks, the numbers suggest a sobering reality. While he's showcased impressive talent, averaging 30.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games, his away performance has been a different story. On the road, those numbers dip to 23.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Even more telling is his track record against Dallas; while he has had some success at home, he averages just 23 points in their previous face-offs, and his assist numbers take a hit, dropping to 2 on the road against them. With an overall hit rate of 14 out of 19 on the under and a clean 10 of 12 during away games, targeting the under at 40.5 seems not just wise, but almost inevitable. Flagg may be on the rise, but this matchup suggests a ceiling that's well below the mark

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 9.5 Assists (-135)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Thunder at home, all eyes will be on LeBron James and his playmaking duties. But when we dive into the numbers, the under 9.5 assists prop seems particularly enticing. Over his last five games, LeBron is averaging just 8.6 assists-barely above that threshold. At home, he's been even quieter, dishing out only 7.6 assists per game. Against the Thunder, his average dips to 5.6 assists when they visit Los Angeles, and it's slightly better at 6.6 in these recent matchups. With an impressive 16 of his last 20 games hitting the under, and an 8 for 9 rate at home, it's clear the King has been more selective in his passing lately. Expect a strong defensive effort from Oklahoma City, which could further hinder his assist numbers, making the under a solid bet in this showdown.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 32.5 Points + Assists (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Dallas Mavericks gear up to face the Los Angeles Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg. However, betting on him to go over 32.5 points and assists might not be the best call. Flagg's recent performances show a pattern-he's averaged a solid 30.2 points and 3.6 assists over his last five outings, but when playing away, those numbers dip to 23.4 points and 6 assists. Against the Clippers, he's averaged just 23 points and 3.3 assists in recent matchups, with a mere 2 assists when on the road. His impressive track record of hitting the under-14 out of his last 19 games-suggests we might see more efficiency from him, but not necessarily a scoring bonanza. With the pressure of an away game and the Mavericks' defensive schemes, targeting Flagg for the under feels like the savvy move here.

Deni Avdija (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Deni Avdija. While he's been a solid contributor, the numbers suggest that betting the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 41.5 might be the smart play. In his last five games, Avdija averaged 22.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, but when playing away, those numbers drop significantly. In fact, he's only managed 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds against opponents on their turf. Considering he's hit the under in 9 of his last 12 away games, and with an overall hit rate of 16 out of 19, the trend is hard to ignore. With the Nuggets' defense tightening up at home, it seems likely that Avdija will struggle to reach that lofty 41.5 mark tonight.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (+102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to face off against the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but there's a compelling case to take the under on his combined rebounds and assists total of 23.5. While Jokic has been a force, averaging a remarkable 15.2 rebounds and 12.8 assists in his last five games, recent matchups tell a different story against Portland. His average dips to 11.8 boards and 9.6 assists against them, and at home, those numbers slightly improve but are still below our target. With a home hit rate of just 2 out of 3 games recently, it seems the Blazers have found ways to limit his impact. Given these factors and an expected stat value of 20.54, this could be the perfect moment to bank on Jokic falling short of that lofty mark.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 45.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-112)

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to host the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama. While his potential is undeniable, the numbers suggest a nuanced approach. Over his last five games, he's been a force, averaging 31.6 points, 16.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. However, at home, he's consistently hitting around 33 points and 11.8 rebounds, which brings his total closer to 45.5 but still shy of the mark.Facing the 76ers, Wembanyama's scoring dips slightly, averaging 25.5 points against them, and when playing at home, he's only surpassed 45.5 total points, rebounds, and assists once in his last five meetings. With his overall hit rate showing only 13 out of 20 in similarly high-stakes scenarios, targeting the under feels like a savvy move tonight. Expect Wembanyama to shine, but perhaps
