Analysis

Walker Kessler Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+140/-190).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 1.5 @ -165 before it was bet down to 1.5 @ -190.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The 4th-quickest pace team in the NBA over the last 25 games has been the Utah Jazz.
The Kings have played at the 6th-fastest pace in the NBA over the last 15 games, which should raise opportunities for the Jazz.
The Utah Jazz rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).
Over the last 20 games, opposing clubs have captured 9.2 offensive boards per game (fewest in the NBA) against the Sacramento Kings (losing possessions that could otherwise lead to extra opportunities for offense).

Favors Under

Walker Kessler will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to lower stat production across the board.
