Analysis

Ja Morant Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 7.5 (-115/-112).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 7.5 @ -106 before it was bet up to 7.5 @ -115.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Ja Morant has posted a terrific 8.0 assists per game this season, a significant increase from his 7.2 assists per game last season.
Ja Morant has played 31.5 minutes per game this year, seeing the court more than most players in the league: 84th percentile.
The Memphis Grizzlies have played at the 3rd-quickest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.
The Memphis Grizzlies have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide additional chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

Ja Morant has committed 0.1 technical fouls per game away from home this year, ranking in the 92nd percentile -- among the league's most-whistled when it comes to technicals.
The Bulls have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 10 games on their home court, which ought to decrease opportunities for the Grizzlies.
When playing at home, the Bulls have allowed the 7th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).
Ja Morant will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium generally worsens player performance across the board.
