View all Covers PicksTyrese Haliburton u9.5 Total Assists (-147)
It’s hard to figure out what’s driving Tyrese Haliburton’s struggles this year, but the 9-13 Indiana Pacers just haven’t looked as dangerous. Haliburton found his shooting stroke last night with 30 points in a loss to the Toronto Raptors, but his playmaking numbers have dipped after averaging at least 10 assists per game in the past two seasons. I’m riding with that trend here despite a favorable matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Haliburton is only serving up 8.5 dimes per game this year, and he’s fallen short of the 10-assists mark in seven of his last nine outings.
Bennedict Mathurin Over 1.5 assists (-115)
This prop for Bennedict Mathurin feels a bit under the radar, as market attention seems to be focused on Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell for assists props on the Indiana Pacers. Mathurin is averaging 5 potential assists per game over his last six outings, and he faces a favorable matchup on Wednesday against a Brooklyn Nets defense he can easily break down on the perimeter. The Pacers are also on the second night of a back-to-back, making it unlikely that Andrew Nembhard will either suit up or play significant minutes. Nembhard played on Tuesday while on a minutes restriction, and if he’s out, Mathurin’s minutes become even more secure. Mathurin is projected for 2.2 assists, which allows us to price the Over 1.5 assists at -175.
