Rui Hachimura Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+155/-190).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
The 9th-fastest pace team in the NBA this year has been the Lakers.
The Lakers are expected to see an increase in possessions in this game from being pitted against the 4th-speediest tempo home team in the league this year (the Grizzlies).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and spark additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers grade out 1stworst in in the league with a mere 8.3 offensive rebounds per game since the start of last season.
