Sam Hauser Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (+115/-145).
The money has been on the Over as it opened 0.5 @ +120 before it was bet up to 0.5 @ +115.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
The Celtics rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Sam Hauser is expected to see an increase in efficiency for all stats as a result of enjoying the home court advantage in this matchup.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA this year has been the Celtics.
The Orlando Magic have played at the most sluggish tempo in the NBA on the road this year, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Boston Celtics.
