Josh Giddey Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 4.5 (+125/-165).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Josh Giddey has tallied 6.4 assists per game over the last 5 games, 1.7 higher than he's tallied in all games this season.
The Thunder have played at the 5th-most up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games without the home court advantage.
The Thunder are expected to see a spike in opportunities today from squaring off against the most up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Lakers).
Over the last 15 games, their opposition has come down with 9.5 offensive rebounds per game (5th-fewest in the league) vs. the Los Angeles Lakers (lessening possessions that could otherwise spark bonus opportunities for offense).
Favors Under
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and spark additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Thunder grade out 1stworst in in the league with a mere 8.2 offensive boards per game this year.
Josh Giddey will likely see a decline in output for all stats in light of playing away from home in this game.
