Bennedict Mathurin Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+155/-210).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Pacers have played at the 2nd-most up-tempo pace-of-play in the league this year.
The Hornets have given up the 2nd-least offensive rebounds per game (8.5) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The Pacers are expected to see a decline in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 7th-most lethargic pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Hornets).
The Indiana Pacers have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
Bennedict Mathurin will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city tends to decrease player performance in all stat categories.
