Josh Hart (New York Knicks) Under 5.5 Assists (-149)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Knicks head into Utah, keep an eye on Josh Hart's assist numbers, particularly with an under bet of 5.5. While Hart has shown flashes of playmaking, his recent form suggests he's likely to fall short of this mark. In his last five games, he's averaged just 2.2 assists, and even when facing the Jazz, he's only managed 4 assists on the road recently. Moreover, Hart's assist averages against Utah don't paint a bright picture either; at 6.8, that number seems enticing on the surface, but break it down to away performances, where it drops to 4. This matchup favors the Jazz's defense, which has been particularly stingy. With an expected stat value of only 4.75, and a solid trend of hitting the under in 8 consecutive away games, it's hard not to lean towards this under. Hart's playmaking will likely take a backseat tonight.
