Tyrese Haliburton M/L Than 10.5 Assists
During his past four games – Tyrese Haliburton has totaled 48 assists.
He’s recorded 10+ assists in all four of those games, with his assist rate, clearly, soaring during that span.
However, he’s playing above his season average of 8.8 assists per game. Fading a hot hand is never easy, but this under presents a good sell-high opportunity.
While Haliburton has earned a lofty assist prop of 10.5, I’m taking the under. The Bulls’ defense will allow plenty of scoring opportunities—but especially for Haliburton himself. Ideally, we see a more aggressive version of him in this matchup rather than a passive facilitator.
Also, Stokastic’s NBA DFS projections have Haliburton finishing with 9.3 assists in this game. Let’s look to take advantage of this spot and back his under.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Tyrese Haliburton Less Than 10.5 Assists
Anfernee Simons M/L 3.5 3-Pointers Made
The Portland Trail Blazers travel to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers, who have been one of the season’s best stories. A large part of their success can be attributed to their defensive prowess.
Cleveland enters this matchup ranking 6th in defensive effective field goal percentage and 7th in points allowed per 100 possessions. They also excel at limiting three-point attempts, ranking 5th in the league in opponent shots from deep.
That’s bad news for Anfernee Simons, who takes 50% of his shots from beyond the arc. Given the tough matchup, fading Simons is the move to make in this contest.
