Bradley Beal M/L Than 4.5 Assists
Bradley Beal enters this game averaging 3.7 assists per contest.
His 17.6% assist rate this season is the lowest it’s been since 2016-17. While his usage rate remains solid, his playmaking consistency has dipped.
Despite this, sportsbooks continue to set his assist prop at 4.5, often without properly adjusting the odds. Looking at a 20-game sample, Beal has stayed under 4.5 assists in 13 of those contests (65%). While that doesn’t guarantee he’ll go under again, the mispricing presents a strong value opportunity.
Additionally, Stokastic’s NBA DFS Projections also have Beal finishing below 4.5 assists, reinforcing the edge on this prop.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Bradley Beal Less Than 4.5 Assists
Max Christie M/L Than 16.5 Points
After being traded from the Lakers to the Mavericks, Max Christie seemed to land in an ideal situation. More scoring opportunities in Dallas led to an impressive start, as he averaged 17 points per game over his first seven contests.
However, in the seven games since, he’s cooled off significantly, averaging just 8 points per game.
While Christie has the potential to regain his scoring touch, the betting markets are still pricing his props based on his early hot streak. He now faces a Phoenix Suns defense that, despite some regression, still has solid defenders capable of matching up well against him. This looks like a good spot to fade Christie.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Max Christie Less Than 16.5 Points
