D'Angelo Russell Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 3.5 (-118/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
D'Angelo Russell has put up 6.2 assists per game on the road this year, ranking him in the 96th percentile -- among the best in the NBA in this category.
The 6th-fastest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Los Angeles Lakers.
Favors Under
The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from competing against the least up-tempo pace team in the league over the last 10 games (the New Orleans Pelicans).
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and result in extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers grade out 2ndworst in in the league when playing away from home with only 8.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.
D'Angelo Russell will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to lower player production in all facets of the game.
