Marcus Smart Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 2.5 (-145/+105).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
The Lakers are expected to see a rise in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 3rd-speediest pace offense in the NBA this year (the Memphis Grizzlies).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
