Herbert Jones Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (-165/+125).
The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ -160 before it was bet up to 1.5 @ -165.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
The Pelicans have played at the 5th-speediest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The New Orleans Pelicans will likely see an increase in plays in this contest from facing the 2nd-fastest pace team in the league over the last 5 games (the Rockets).
The Pelicans have been the 9th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
Over the last 10 games when they are the visiting team, their opposition has snagged 10.6 offensive rebounds per game (9th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Houston Rockets (lengthening possessions that can result in further opportunities for offense).
