Analysis

Walker Kessler Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (-147/+113).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 0.5 @ -143 before it was bet up to 0.5 @ -147.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Jazz have played at the 9th-quickest tempo in the league this year.
Offensive rebounds save possession and produce extra opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Utah Jazz rank 12thbest in in the NBA while at home with 12.0 offensive rebounds per game since the start of last season.

Favors Under

Walker Kessler has averaged 0.9 assists per game when playing at home since the start of last season, placing him in the 23rd percentile -- among the league trailers by this standard.
The Timberwolves have allowed the 5th-most offensive boards per game (11.1) in the NBA to opposing clubs since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to new opportunities for scoring and assists).
Walker Kessler will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
