Lakers vs Pacers Preview
Action PRO is projecting Rui Hachimura for 0.35 assists in the Lakers' matchup against the Pacers tonight, presenting a huge 28.8% edge against the market compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5, which is strong enough to tag the Under with an A+ grade in our system.
Lakers vs Pacers Predictions, Betting Analysis
Hachimura is averaging 0.8 assists per game this season, but his recent form suggests limited playmaking involvement.
He has stayed Under this number in four of his last five games, recording zero assists in four of those outings and just one in the other.
Zooming out a bit further, he has gone Under this line in seven of his last 10 games.
With our model projecting him below the market line and his recent production consistently low, there's really no reason to expect tonight's game to be any different.
So, backing Hachimura to stay Under 0.5 assists makes plenty of sense here.
Pick: Rui Hachimura Under 0.5 Assists (+140)
