📊 WagerLens Performance Review

Yesterday (03/17): 0-3 (0%)

NBA: 91-64 (58.7%)

March ‘25: 27-18 (60%)

All-Time: 96-71 (57.5%)

🎯 Ivica Zubac OVER 15.5 Points

Best Price: -125 on ESPN Bet and FanDuel

Recent Performance

  • Last Game: 17 points

  • Last 3-Game Average: 20.3 PPG

  • Last 5-Game Average: 20.4 PPG

  • Season Average: 16.2 PPG

How Has This Prop Performed?

  • 3 out of last 3 over

  • 5 out of last 5 over

  • 9 out of last 10 over

Key Analysis

Zubac is in strong scoring form, averaging 20.3 PPG over his last three games and 20.4 PPG over his last five, both well above the 15.5-point threshold. His most recent game saw him score 17 points, again clearing the line. His season average sits at 16.2 PPG, slightly over the line but not a guarantee. However, his recent form suggests an upward trend, making this bet more favorable.

Risk Factors

  • Strong Cavs team

  • Possible regression in minutes due to return of injured Clippers players

🎯 Donovan Mitchell UNDER 5.5 Assists

Best Price: -150 on ESPN Bet

Recent Performance

  • Last Game: 5 assists

  • Last 3-Game Average: 4 APG

  • Last 5-Game Average: 4.4 APG

  • Season Average: 4.8 APG

How Has This Prop Performed?

  • 2 out of last 3 under

  • 4 out of last 5 under

  • 8 out of last 10 under

Key Analysis

Mitchell's assist numbers have consistently trended under 5.5, with only two games in his last ten surpassing that mark. His season average of 4.8 APG is already below the prop line, and his last 3- and 5-game averages show a downward trajectory. Mitchell is often seen as more of a scoring guard, looking for his shot rather than setting up teammates. The Clippers allow the 8th fewest assists per game to opponents this season, making it a tough environment for Mitchell to rack up assists.

Risk Factors

  • Tough matchup could cause role changes

  • Averages 5.4 APG against Clippers in career

We've identified several promising player props for tonight's slate, each showing strong statistical trends and reasonable market prices:
