Tyus Jones Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (+125/-165).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Tyus Jones has put up 4.8 assists per game this year, ranking him among the best players in the NBA by this standard: 90th percentile.
The quickest pace-of-play road team in the league this year has been the Washington Wizards.
The Knicks have given up the least offensive boards per game (8.6) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
Tyus Jones is expected to see an increase in effectiveness across the board on account of having the home court advantage in this contest.
Favors Under
The New York Knicks have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league this year, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Washington Wizards.
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and bring about added chances for scoring and assists, but the Wizards rank 4thworst in in the NBA with a mere 8.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.
