Chris Paul Over 8.5 assists

The Slim-Reaper is poised to make his Phoenix Suns debut tonight, and Chris Paul will undoubtedly do his best to get him acclimated to the team. There aren’t many other better matchups than the one at hand tonight. The Hornets are 22nd in Defensive Net Rating and play at the fourth-fastest pace. This has led to them leading the league in assists allowed per game.

Since returning from his seven-game absence, Paul has nine or more assists in 10 of his last 15 games averaging 9.9 per game. This sample includes a game against Charlotte, where he posted 11 assists. With Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton as your top three scoring options, how does Paul not find at least nine assists tonight? This is listed in the -130 range on both DraftKings and FanDuel, so clearly, there’s value to be had on PrizePicks with this play.

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.
