Josh Hart Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 2.5 (+136/-179).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Knicks have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).
This year when they are the visiting squad, their opposition has snagged 9.8 offensive rebounds per game (5th-lowest in the league) against the Raptors (lessening possessions that could otherwise spark further chances for offense).
Favors Under
Josh Hart has compiled just 2.6 assists per game this year, quite a bit less than his 3.6 assists per game last year.
In comparison to last year's 2.6 mark, Josh Hart's personal fouls per game have increased this year to 2.2.
The New York Knicks have played at the most sluggish tempo in the NBA this year.
The Toronto Raptors have played at the 9th-least up-tempo pace in the NBA this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Knicks.
Josh Hart will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to worsen player production in all stat categories.
