Analysis

James Harden Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 6.5 (+123/-129).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 5.5 @ -146 before it was bet up to 6.5 @ +123.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Cavaliers have been the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The Cavaliers have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The Cavaliers will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Knicks).
