LeBron James Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (-137/-137).
Key Factors
Favors Over
LeBron James has been on the court for 34.2 minutes per game while at home this year, ranking him in the 92nd percentile -- seeing the court more than most players in the NBA.
The 2nd-speediest pace team in the league over the last 20 games has been the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers will likely get a boost in plays today from sharing the court with the 7th-most up-tempo pace road team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Detroit Pistons).
Over the last 5 games, opposing teams have come down with 6.0 offensive rebounds per game (fewest in the NBA) against the Detroit Pistons (minimizing possessions that could otherwise result in added chances for offense).
LeBron James should see an increase in productivity in all facets of the game in light of enjoying the home court advantage in this contest.
Favors Under
Out of all players in the NBA, LeBron James measures in the 95th percentile for technical fouls, totaling a monstrous 0.1 fouls per game this year.
The Lakers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
