LaMelo Ball Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (+102/-130).
The money has been on the Over as it opened 7.5 @ -140 before it was bet up to 8.5 @ +102.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
Offensive rebounds continue possession and produce bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Hornets grade out 6th-best in in the league with 12.3 offensive boards per game since the start of last season.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Miami Heat have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league since the start of last season, which should reduce possessions for the Hornets.
