Ben Simmons Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 6.5 (-150/+115).
The money has been on the Over as it opened 6.5 @ -135 before it was bet up to 6.5 @ -150.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
Ben Simmons has totaled 8.4 assists per game over the last 5 games, 2.1 more than he's totaled overall this year.
The Nets have played at the speediest pace in the league this year, which should lead to increased opportunities for the Warriors.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
Ben Simmons has committed 3.5 personal fouls per game while on the road this year, ranking him in the 97th percentile -- among the league's highest-fouling.
The Warriors have allowed the 8th-least offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing clubs this year while at home (which will also lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
The Brooklyn Nets check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (which will also lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
Ben Simmons will not possess the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road generally worsens stat production across the board.
