Markelle Fultz Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (-135/+100).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Markelle Fultz has tallied 8.0 assists per game over the last 5 games, 2.5 higher than he's tallied over the course of the year.
The Orlando Magic have played at the 2nd-most up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 10 games away from home.
Favors Under
The Hornets have played at the 10th-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Magic.
The Orlando Magic rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
While on their home court, the Hornets have given up the most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).
Markelle Fultz will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road generally reduces player production across the board.
