Jamal Murray O/U 2.5 Assists (-165)
Murray is coming back off an injury that kept him out for a while. In the three-year span of 2017 to 2020, Murray averaged 4.8 assists per game in all three seasons. They get to go against a Utah team that is expected to have a below-average defense compared to previous years. With Michael Porter Jr., Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, there are a lot of great scorers on this team that can help Murray get to his number tonight. Stokastic has Murray projected at 4.4 assists, with the over on 2.5 assists at a projected win rate of 81%.
Keldon Johnson O/U 22.5 Points (-120)
Johnson starts the season seeing one of the highest lines of his career due to the departure of Dejounte Murray. Johnson only averaged 17 points per game last season, and he doesn’t have a great matchup with the likes of P.J. Washington and Gordon Hayward guarding him. He only scored over 22.5 points in 20% of games last year, and the Spurs as a team should start this year slowly. Stokastic has Keldon projected at 19.2 points, with the expected win rate of under 22.5 points at 68%.
Josh Hart O/U 3.5 Assists (+110)
Hart has a great matchup against a team that gave up the 10th-most assists in the NBA a year ago. Last year Hart averaged 4.1 assists, without the elite shooter Damian Lillard by his side. With Lillard back, Anfernee Simons getting better by the day and big man Jusuf Nurkic being great around the basket, Hart can eclipse his 3.5 assists line like he did in 65% of games last year. Stokastic has Hart projected at 4.2 assists, with the over on 3.5 assists at an expected win rate of 60%.
Jaden Ivey O/U 3.5 Rebounds (+140)
Ivey is joining Cade Cunningham in this young Pistons core group of players. Ivey gets a great matchup to start the year, as he’s going against the Orlando Magic, who gave up the third-most rebounds in the NBA last year (41.7 a game). Ivey is an explosive, aggressive player who plays with a lot of heart. The Pistons only have one truly good rebounder in Isaiah Stewart, and Ivey can have a positive impact for this team. Ivey averaged five rebounds per game in college, and with the fast-paced environment of the NBA, he could see a nice spike. Stokastic has Ivey projected at four rebounds, with the over on 3.5 rebounds at an expected win rate of 57%.
