Kevin Durant UNDER 5.5 Assists (-108)

According to RotoGrinders CourtIQ, Kevin Durant is averaging only 4.4 assists per 36 minutes of action this season when Jusuf Nurkic and Bradley Beal are off of the floor. Tonight, he has to contend with a Kings defense that has done a good job limiting opposing forwards’ ability to operate as a facilitator. There have been zero small forwards and only one power forward since December 8 to record more than 5 assists against the Kings. The under is a worthwhile inclusion in this parlay.

Devin Booker OVER 7.5 Assists (-144)

According to RotoGrinders CourtIQ, Devin Booker is averaging 8.1 assists per 36 minutes of action this season with Jusuf Nurkic and Bradley Beal off of the floor. The Kings have struggled to defend opposing guards in recent weeks, especially as facilitators, ranking 19th overall in opponent assists allowed per game. In the last week alone, they have allowed Tyus Jones to record 9 assists and Jrue Holiday to have 10 assists. Booker could threaten for a double-double this evening.

De’Aaron Fox OVER 6.5 Assists (-115)

The Suns have done a good job overall disrupting passing lanes lately, allowing the 4th-fewest opponent assists per game during the last 30 days. However, they have struggled more against guards than against forwards and centers in that regard. According to props.cash, 5 of the last 6 point guards to have an assists prop released against the Suns have gone over their pregame market number. The only miss was Jordan Poole, who had 4 assists and a pregame market number of over/under 4.5. Fox should have every opportunity to get the job done here on Friday.
