De'Andre Hunter Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (-225/+165).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The 2nd-most up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 25 games has been the Atlanta Hawks.
The Atlanta Hawks check in as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).
This year, their opposition has captured 10.3 offensive boards per game (8th-fewest in the NBA) against the Cleveland Cavaliers (minimizing possessions that could otherwise spark more opportunities for offense).
De'Andre Hunter stands to see a rise in production across the board in light of owning the home court advantage in this matchup.
Favors Under
Among all players in the NBA, De'Andre Hunter rates in the 82nd percentile for personal fouls, totaling a whopping 2.4 fouls per game playing at home this year.
The Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should reduce plays for the Hawks.
