Andrew Nembhard UNDER 7.5 Assists (-144, DraftKings)

Since Nembhard returned from injury, he is averaging 7.3 assists and 12.7 potential assists per game, leading the Pacers. He might have trouble sustaining his recent high assist numbers on Thursday, however.

In November, Phoenix has only allowed 2 players to have more than 13 potential assists against them – James Harden and Stephon Castle. Harden and Brandon Williams are the only 2 guards to have more than 7 assists in a game against the Suns this month.

Tonight will also be Indiana’s 4th and final game of their current road trip. On the final game on their 3-game road trip in October, they scored only 105 points against the Mavericks. If there are any travel-related fatigue issues this evening, that would only further reduce Nembhard’s likelihood of getting to 8 assists.

Isaiah Jackson OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-138, FanDuel)

Jackson has been rebounding the ball extremely well of late, with 7 consecutive games of 6+ rebounds. During that span, he’s averaging a team-high 14.6 rebound chances in 22.8 minutes of action.

Jackson has trouble defending without fouling, which makes playing his overs a potentially tough watch. However, there is little doubt that he will be active on the glass for as long as he’s out there. If he can stay out of foul trouble to see north of 20 minutes this evening, he should have a great chance to collect 6+ rebounds.

Ryan Dunn OVER 4.5 Rebounds (-120, BetMGM)

Dunn has gone under this number in 3 consecutive games, but it hasn’t been from a lack of opportunities on the boards. In those 3 games, he’s had 7, 8, and 11 rebound chances.

Tonight, Dunn draws a good matchup against the Pacers, a team that has allowed the 3rd-most rebounds per game this season. That trend has remained strong of late, allowing the 4th-most rebounds per game during their last 8 contests.

Dunn should once again have nearly double-digit rebound chances, making this a playable number.
