Ben Sheppard Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+160/-200).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
The 5th-speediest tempo offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Pacers.
The Pacers will likely see an increase in opportunities today from sharing the court with the speediest pace team in the league this year (the Grizzlies).
Ben Sheppard ought to get a boost in output across the board on account of controlling the home court advantage in this matchup.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Indiana Pacers have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
