Landry Shamet Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+125/-165).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The quickest pace-of-play road team in the league this year has been the Washington Wizards.
The Knicks have given up the least offensive boards per game (8.6) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
Landry Shamet will receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing on your home court tends to improve player production in all stat categories.
Favors Under
Landry Shamet has posted 0.5 assists per game while playing at home since the start of last season, putting him in the 22nd percentile -- among the NBA's trailers by this standard.
The New York Knicks have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league this year, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Washington Wizards.
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and bring about added chances for scoring and assists, but the Wizards rank 4thworst in in the NBA with a mere 8.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.
