Damian Lillard Over 6.5 Assists

The Celtics continue to be a pass funnel for playmakers as of late, and until the trend ends, it’ll be a feature play for these articles. Here’s a log of the last 14 assist artists to face them:

Darius Garland – 12
Immanuel Quickley – 7
Spencer Dinwiddie – 8
Darius Garland – 9
Jalen Brunson – 3
James Harden – 8
Tyrese Haliburton – 14
Killian Hayes – 9
Jrue Holiday – 7
Ja Morant – 7
LaMelo Ball – 10
James Harden – 11
Killian Hayes – 9
Chris Paul – 8

Add that all up, and we’re looking at 13 of the last 14 facilitators to record at least 7 assists. This trend has coincided with the Celtics not playing their best brand of basketball, as they are 18th in Defensive Net Rating over their last 10 games.

Dame has recorded at least six assists in eight of his last 10 games, averaging 7 APG over this span. For what it is worth, he has also eclipsed this mark in eight of his last nine games, averaging 9.6 APG when facing the Celtics.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of basketball player prop bets include over/under bets on points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, blocks, or steals.
