šŸŽÆ Josh Hart UNDER 20.5 PA (Points + Assists)

Best Price: -118 on FanDuel

Recent Performance

  • Last Game: 7 PA

  • Last 3-Game Average: 16 PA/G

  • Last 5-Game Average: 17.6 PA/G

  • Season Average: 19.9 PA/G

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

Josh Hart has been in a slump, consistently falling short of his season average for Points + Assists per game (PA/G). Tonight’s line is set at 20.5 PA, but history isn’t on his side. Against the Heat, he’s averaging just 16.5 PA and has failed to clear this mark in both matchups this season. Over his last seven games, he’s putting up just 15.7 PA/G, meaning he’d need a significant boost in production to hit the over making the under an ideal play.

Risk Factors

  • High ceiling for PA/G

  • Brunson still out

  • Lopsided matchup with struggling Heat

šŸŽÆ Tyrese Haliburton UNDER 1.5 Turnovers

Best Price: +145 on DraftKings

Recent Performance

  • Last Game: 0 turnovers

  • Last 3-Game Average: 0.7 TO/G

  • Last 5-Game Average: 1 TO/G

  • Season Average: 1.7 TO/G

How Has This Prop Performed?

  • 3 out of last 3 under

  • 4 out of last 5 under

  • 9 out of last 10 under

Key Analysis

In recent games, Tyrese Haliburton has been protecting the ball at a much better rate than his season average. He’s averaging just 1 turnover per game (TO/G) over his last seven, and he’s had 2+ turnovers in only one of his last ten outings. Tonight, he faces a Minnesota defense that ranks middle-of-the-pack in forcing turnovers, meaning there isn’t an overwhelming threat to disrupt his rhythm. However, the Timberwolves’ defensive pressure—especially from their backcourt—shouldn’t be overlooked. While they may not generate an abundance of steals, they excel at forcing tough possessions and contesting passing lanes. If Haliburton continues his recent trend of ball security, his turnover line may present value on the under.

Risk Factors

  • Positive odds often signal that the books know something we don’t

  • Stacked injury report could put the ball in Halliburton’s hands more, increasing turnover probability

šŸŽÆ Jalen Duren UNDER 2.5 Assists

Best Price: -104 on FanDuel

Recent Performance

  • Last Game: 2 assists

  • Last 3-Game Average: 0.7 assists

  • Last 5-Game Average: 1.2 assists

  • Season Average: 2.5 assists

How Has This Prop Performed?

  • 3 out of last 3 under

  • 5 out of last 5 under

  • 9 out of last 10 under

Key Analysis

Jalen Duren isn’t known for his playmaking, and the numbers suggest his Under 2.5 Assists is a strong angle against the Pelicans. On the season, he’s averaging just 2.5 APG, and over his last 7 games, that number dips to 1.7 APG. He’s failed to clear 2.5 assists in 9 of his last 10 games. The matchup also plays in favor of the under. The Pelicans rank among the NBA’s top teams in limiting opponent assists, allowing just 24.6 per game (7th fewest in the league). Their defensive scheme funnels playmaking duties away from bigs, making it difficult for centers like Duren to rack up dimes. Unless Duren sees an unusual uptick in usage or a high-assist game script, the trends suggest he’ll struggle to surpass this line.

Risk Factors

  • As high as 7 assists in a single game this season

  • Agreement across books suggests sharp line
