Markelle Fultz Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 2.5 (+100/-130).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Markelle Fultz has averaged 5.7 assists per game away from home since the start of last season, ranking him in the 94th percentile -- near the top of the league by this metric.
The Heat have allowed the least offensive rebounds per game (8.6) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The 9th-most sluggish tempo team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Orlando Magic.
The Orlando Magic are expected to see a decline in plays in this contest from facing the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 25 games (the Miami Heat).
The Magic rank as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA as the visting team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).
Markelle Fultz is expected to see a decline in efficiency across the board considering being on the road in this game.
