Pat Connaughton Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (-145/+115).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The 2nd-speediest pace team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the least offensive rebounds per game (8.8) in the league to opposing squads over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 8th-least up-tempo pace in the NBA this year, which should decrease possessions for the Bucks.
Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Bucks rank 1stworst in in the league while playing on the road with just 9.1 offensive rebounds per game this year.
Pat Connaughton will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage generally lowers player production in all facets of the game.
