Analysis

Lauri Markkanen Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (-159/+123).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ -158 before it was bet up to 1.5 @ -159.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Utah Jazz have played at the 3rd-fastest pace in the league over the last 25 games.
The Jazz have been the 10th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Jazz.
