Bennedict Mathurin Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (-105/-125).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Bennedict Mathurin has compiled 3.4 assists per game over the last 5 games away from home, 1.6 more than he's compiled overall this year on the road.
The Indiana Pacers have played at the fastest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games.
The Rockets have played at the 5th-fastest tempo in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should raise opportunities for the Pacers.
Favors Under
Bennedict Mathurin has averaged 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games away from his home court, 0.1 more than he's averaged overall this season on the road.
The Indiana Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
Over the last 5 games, the other team has snagged 13.8 offensive boards per game (most in the league) vs. the Rockets (retaining possessions that can generate bonus chances for offense).
Bennedict Mathurin should suffer a reduction in effectiveness across the board considering playing away from home in this game.
